PS:

Did you know that when you do low reps (fewer than 6), you’re training for neural gains, i.e. strength gains?

Did you know when you train with moderate reps (8-12), you’re training for metabolic gains, i.e. size gains?

Do you know what happens when you design a program that integrates those rep ranges so that you go to just 7?

Probably not and you’re not alone…

This is a HUGE inside secret I must share with you….

    Thanks for the video Vince. something is confusing me, I want to get big just like some bodybuilders but I also want to be strong like those who compete in strongman. Can the two worlds be mixed up? Can I combine a powerlifting program with some bodybuilding routines? Thanks again Vince Del Monte!

    I’m doing a powerlifting program, let’s say in overhead presses. If I’m doing that exercise for 2-3 reps for 6 sets, can add side lateral and front raises at the end of the workout with 12-15 reps for 3 or 4 sets? Thank you.

    Precisely, yes. For balance and aesthetic reasons, throw in one or two isolation movements at the end of your heavy work. Always do your heavy work first, that is the most important

    Thank you sir for the response. Now I know it’s really possible to combine bodybuilding and powerlifting. One more thing if I’m doing overhead presses for twice a week, is it ok to do the isolation movements on the same frequency? Are you familiar with Stronglifts 5×5? I’m doing that program and I like it. It consists of squats-benchpress-pendlay and squats-overheadpress-deadlifts which alternate on monday, wednesday and friday. Thanks again!

    Size usually follows strength, so yes if you strength train after a while you’ll most likely see an increase in size as well. -Team Delmonte

    Thank you guys. I find my current program focuses more on myofibrillar hypertrophy, my strength has improved since I started this program but my size seems not getting bigger compare to my mates who do bodybuilding training with high-reps but light weight.I was thinking if I mix up some bodybuilding routine to my strength training will help me gain size.Can I do my strength program and isolation movements on the same day? My program focuses on less-reps more-sets and in progressive overload.

    Yes you can do the isolations with the same frequency. You body will adapt to the workload and you’ll be able to recover well after a week or two. And I’m familiar with Rip Toe’s program, superb for strength. Just lacks the isolation and volume that some people want for aesthetic reasons

    Hey Vince I was wondering what you’re opinion is on layne norton’s PHAT program? I’m an experienced lifter, been trying to build muscle and it makes sense to get stronger and bigger at the same time to maximize results, just wanted to know your opinion, thanks a lot

    Those are 5 movements. If you want the most bang for your buck, I’d pick deadlift, squat, bench, push press, pull-ups, your favourite row, power cleans, and maybe some dips.

    if I wanted pure overall body strength and power, fastest running speed…will the three main power lifting exercises guarantee that?  ..knowing that I don’t care about the look and I’am training with full power on each rep for minimum rep no.

    Other than ignoring the fact that training for powerlifting and bodybuilding have very similar methodologies, and overlooking the fact that volume is the most important factor when it comes to developing both strength and hypertrophy, you litterally explained nothing here. Powerlifting is a sport that involves testing your 1 rep maxes, while bodybuilding is completely physique based. However, powerlifting, assuming skill remains constant, is going to rely heavily on the amount of muscle mass that you have. 60-70% of powerlifting training when done optimally fr an intermediate lifter is going to be geared towards developing larger muscles. Larger muscles will allow you to move heavier poundages. Bodybuilders also need to focus on getting stronger, as to increase the load being placed on the muscles to create overload. The only difference between the two styles of training in reality, is the peaking process associated with powerlifting used to enhance the neural output during each lift. There are 3-4 weeks out of 12 that are going to be used to associate all the work done durring the hypertrophy block into the ability to demonstrate it via 1 rep max. If you’re a bodybuilder, you can skip this phase and do a simple de-load instead of a taper. Train with a lower volume and slightly greater intensity for 2 weeks, and then ramp back into it without ever testing a 1 rep max. .. This is why I unsubscribed from you years ago. You don’t teach, and you don;t really understand what you’re talking about. You just repeat things you hear from other people.
