Why Powerbuilding?

Once a wise man said, “If you want to be the best, learn from the best.” 

I mean it’s kinda right…

Plato learned from Socrates, which made Plato one of the best philosophers of all time. Then Aristotle learned from Plato, which also made Aristotle one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Then Alexander the Great learned from Aristotle that he became the greatest leader and conqueror of all time.

And that’s why when I just started working out, I searched for the man that built the best physiques so I could learn from that man. 

And that man is Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the method that built his physique is powerbuilding, combining powerlifting and bodybuilding.

This is the only method that can give you the strength of powerlifter in a bodybuilder physique…

This is the only way that you can say that you bench 400 lbs to your friends while having shredded abs instead of a big gut.

I was hooked on this method because when I dig deep into powerbuilding, the benefits are infinite.

I mean… you got strong; your nervous system strength is leveled up to another level, and because you did powerlifting, your bodybuilding movement also goes up in strength, and also I just want to follow the best.

But boom! One comment on YouTube almost changed everything….

Because that comment said, ‘It just works because they’re on steroids.’

But in that time, instead of just doomscrolling for 5 hours because I thought I’d just been scammed, I remember that saying from that wise man: “If you want to be the best, learn from the best.”

And guess what? Arnold learned from the best.

And the best here is the greatest natural bodybuilder of all time, the silver-era bodybuilder. This is where people built the best physiques of all time, even when a gym was hard to find and steroids literally didn’t exist.

And so this month, the topic that we are going to dig deep into is powerbuilding: everything about powerbuilding: programs, exercise order, how to get strong, which lifts are the best for building strength, and many others. 

So stay tune.
