I used to train more as a 'bodybuilder' but have switched the focus of much of my training to more a powerlifter type workouts. While I am neither a pure bodybuilder nor powerlifter, I find I enjoy parts of both.
So in doing this, it has been a year or more since I have done more than 5 reps on squats. Contrast this with my training in the past which had lots of higher rep sets...10-12-15 reps. I work the 3-5 rep range consistently now.
I was looking at some pics and I think there is a pretty large difference looking at my legs side by side. There is about an 8 month difference in the two pics. Current pics on right.
I am and continue to believe in training to improve strength as the best way forward to solid mass gain over time. (at least for me). This just reinforces that for me. Thought I would share
