Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm jsut sittin here between classes and was pondering on what style of lifting will actually benefit the lifter from a longevity and health standpoint. I would think that bodybuilding would be the best for longevity, but I don't think I could go through life stressing the eccentric and training my muscles to be slow, as I know the best for athletes would be a mixture of PL and OL, and I know lifting heavy is supposedly good for bone structure, so would it possibly be that cycling periods of eah would be best?
PL/OL/BB which for longevity

im with CCJ on this one. Why neglect the benefits of these styles of lifting. i do the 3 core lifts, bench squat and deadlift for strength. I also do push press and power cleans for explosiveness. Also if i want to focus on speed, i will loop my bands on the bar and have a pure speed day (ie. powerlifting.)
and belive it or not, im actually a competition bodybuilder. im getting ready for a show in August. But i also do some higher rep sets and positions of flexion workouts.
get the best of all three worlds........... but not to leave out my friend b-fold, there is also strongman training. (but that is not for the timid), but extremely fun.
