Ok guys, my trainer for powerlifting was busy so I met with another guy. I have my opinion but wanna hear what you think...
He said I CANT do powerlifting and bodybuilding together. One or the other. Had me deadlift and said I need to use more back and less legs... said tren is harmless and great straight. He might just handle it well idk. And that chicken and rice would beef me up to my 205# goal.
I told him right after ive been studying the worlds strongest man and he deadlifts this way. More back? Does any of this make sense?

He’s an idiot. MORE BACK!! That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. He’s right in that you can’t train for powerlifting AND bodybuilding but you can train for powerlifting and stay in Greer shape and still make some gains

Well I’d say it this was: you cannot prepare of a BBing competition and powerlifting competition at the same time and expect to have good results.
As far as deadlift goes it depends on your stance. Of course you are going to use both legs and back to perform the lift. If you’re going sumo it’s more leg oriented, where conventional is more lower back oriented (depending on how wide your stance is). So for example on my dead lift I do not Bend my knees that much and use much legs because I use a conventional stance with my legs pretty close together. The statement your trainer made- you need to use more back- sounds pretty bad, but without hearing his POV and seeing your lift it’s hard to make a counter argument .
Chicken and rice can beef you up, but I’d make sure to obviously throw in other foods too like eggs, steak, etc

No I meant incorporate both styles of training. Like do heavy shit and still lift volume. Powerbuilding. Im not competing. I think I asked before and everyone agreed I could do that. Maybe I worded it wrong.

This is what I meant. Thank you Kane!! Man I was frustrated. He was showing me pics of what he used to look like and used to lift.
But more back killed me.. my back hurts today. I deadlift lift like Eddie Hall. He said to use my back. Waiting to hear back from the other guy bro. I was just super frustrated

I came out of bodybuilding into powerlifting. Did both together for a couple year and finally decided to just compete in powerlifting. What I'd learned in bbing definitely helped make me a better pler. For example. Bodyweight manipulation. I was able to break state, American and World records at 220, 242, 259 and 308. At my Zenith as a powerlifter here's how I trained: My powerlifts i trained at the 1st of my workout after stretching. I did only singles starting with a relatively light weight (415 squats and 225 bench and deads). Add weight and do another single and so on till I hit my goal weight for the session. Then I'd work chest tris and shoulders like an off season bodybuilder. Example: db bench presses for 3 sets of 8 -10 to build the muscle base (size) for 2 - 3 excercises per muscle group.
Same protocol on squat day and deadlift day. I trained 3 days per week. I still had abs that were very visible at 5'9" then in my mid 50s. I had more size doing this than I'd ever had as a bodybuilder. I weigh from 285 to 300 pounds during most of that time; averaging about 285ish. Gear wise was tren a and test e. Meals were( according to my wife) one per day ....it lasts all day. She said I grazed. I'd get about 300 to 350 grams of protein and about 500 grams of carbs. Not real particular about the sources (somewhat clean) LOL! My best gym lifts were multi ply: 930 squat - 705 bench - 650 dead lift. I got a lot out of my Titan equipment. My best raw with wraps gym lifts were: 705 squat - 425 bench - 600 deadlift. P.S. The 650 equipped deadlift was in a single ply Titan Velocity. Never tried to pull in a multiply suit.. This was similar in philosophy to what Doug Young called 'Powerbuilding' in the 70s...He was an original! A true Beast!
