    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.
