how is your body different from bodybuilders

JoRocka

typically less definied and less of what women consider "bulky"

Body building is about defining each muscle and scuplting.

Power lifting is about max weight- has nothing to do with what you look like... at all. Check out Holly what's her name- no where near body building status.

They are like apples and oranges.

but you can do both- there isn't a rule that says you can't (I fall in the middle personally)

I'm not a female but I am a powerlifter and trainer/coach. Are you considering powerlifting? For what goal?

Bodybuilding - Aesthetics are the priority, strength is secondary.

Power Lifting - Strength is the priority, aesthetics are secondary.

Of course with both, diet is a big factor in how one will look. I personally like to do a little of both.

You dont have to have a rigid diet as a bodybuilder, and you can be an aesthetic powerlifter.

I'm a powerlifter and most people wouldn't be able to tell that I lift from looking at me.
