going from strength training to bodybuilding

[jelsode]

okay so I have always much preferred strength training just like the ability to go heavy and do low repetitions
call it being lazy I don’t care but it’s a hell of a lot easier to do 12 or 15 sets then do heavy volume and be a bodybuilder
I’m looking to challenge myself though over the next year in switch to more heavy volume and bodybuilding instead of powerlifting
for someone like me who is stronger than most how would you adjust your training
for example should I still do compound lifts or do I just do isolation lifts

with bodybuilding use more volume and more reps and sets

 

[Mobster]

It's really not easier either way

 

[SteveSmi]

I think you would be surprised at how high the heart rate goes even with low repetition and High weight

 

[CEO]

Bros simplest way to do it is follow 5x5

 

[ROIDDERS]

there are variations of strength training a lot of times people will stick to six repetitions or less

 

[chesty]

never do 1 or 2 rep maxes. that will tear muscles

 

[Ulter]

I would stick to the four or six rep range first

star increasing your repetitions and go higher volume simple

I would transition to a split routine maybe three or four days split

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

a lot of pro bodybuilders do four or five days splits

Monstro says train hard everyday and good things happen

I would focus on compound but do all

 

[ballin2504]

4-6 rep range and full control of the weights

That is so incorrect, put 225lbs on a bar and do 20x20 with perfect technique every rep full range of motion, not easy just like Bench 300+ lbs isn't easy for 5 reps for vasty majority of people, each method is hard just in a different way mentally and physically
