What the difference between bodybuilding and strength training?

December 28th, 2009 | by admin |

what type of workouts do you do for bodybuilding and same for strength training

i think its about the reps and Weight but im not sure

They are fairly different, being one’s goal is to make it look like you life much weight while the other is to lift much. Their isn’t really a workout for both, being you need to be one or the other. Now I do have friends who do that the Strength for 2 months and then Size for 2 month, or even alternate by season. Strength less reps heavier amount, Size more reps less weight.

    Bodybuilding is about pumping the muscles with many reps. You know like 5×15 reps for each workout.

    But strength training is different. Then you maxed out your strength with as much weight you can handle and the reps are like this.

    For example:
    Bench press: 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, only 3 times but the last time you need your partner to spot you to get the most out of it.
