Physique or Strength??

I started powerlifting as a hobby when I was in my early 30s and my motto has always been the same

I lift to be strong, not to look pretty.


For those who are new to lifting, even most pro bodybuilders will tell you... start with a powerlifting style workout to get a strong base and get your strength up. Those "bodybuilding get ripped etc etc" workouts you see in magazines arent going to help you if you cant lift heavy enough weights to do any good.
