By: Andrew Herbert

Like many other powerlifters, I have incorporated some bodybuilding-style training into my powerlifting programming. It’s useful for addressing weak points, building up key muscle groups, and structuring accessory movements where you’re not using maximal (low rep) weights.

Scrolling through the online store or browsing the supplement aisle, the options of products seem endless. If you are a research nerd like me, it takes forever to choose as I don’t want to make the wrong one.
