I remeber reading that body building routines would mess up a powerlifting routine because you cant do 80% for hi reps after max or speed day..
1st off , is this true?
2nd, I just got back into working out after a brake and before I used to just do chest.. (what a suprise)..anyway i learned that there is much more to working out then a nice chest, infact i really like powerlifting now.. I like to be strong and fast.. i just started powerlifting and included some olympic moves like power clean and a light to moderate weight on snatch for foot speed and overall balance...
Well I am trying to have the best of both worlds.. I want to powerlift and still do dumbell flys and dips for a nice chest and other bodys parts to pop out..
Will this extra work load (80% of 1rm for 3 sets or 7reps) mess up my max/speed days and slow my progress down?
PS: I learned it one thing to look strong but another thing to be strong...Thats what got me into powerlifting...
