>Every beginner routine is described as a "Powerlifting program" but I don't want to be a powerlifter
>Had a huge guy ask me about my routine and tell me I should be eating a lot more if I want to get my numbers up
>I don't care about numbers
So WTF am I doing here?
I'm doing SL5X5 rn, I can squat 100kg now which my twig ass couldn't when I started but then IDC about moving more weight I just want to look good

Looking up routines online all I find are routines for beginner powerlifters.
Why the fuck is it all for powerlifters? I don't want to be a powerlifter
I'm supposed to hit the gym later today but now I'm questioning if I'm just wasting my time doing this shit if it doesn't even have anything to do with my goals

(M, 171cm, 52kg)

Male viera are so fucking hot, like 10/10 6'10 bunny twinks, I need them to be real.

Now for your question in the beginning it’s important to get your strength up. Powerlifting is just the best for that. You can’t do meaningful hypotrophy with just beginner weight. Just continue your powerlifting routine for a couple of years.

you can ask any ai to be your personal trainer and tailor a routine for your exact goals, retard.

If you're skinny or skinnyfat you need strength first.
Then you can work on volume.
You dont need the powerlifts, you just need to get stronger and put on mass for now, which powerlifts do.

You just vary how often you do super long rest rpe10 sets vs more casual lifting but that can really fill in weak points. Some people never really dig deep and you can tell. Same with how ped gentlemen look because they rip their shit with high intensity.

powerlifting invading bodybuilding has been a problem for years and is indeed retarded. It will result in underdeveloped upper body, injuries and bad form

switch to a program that will get the body your want and lift with form that will stimulate muscle, not move big numbers

Amazing how OP can ask about why cookie cutter routines might not be ideal for him and he gets cookie cutter advice
Do you tell a grandma who wants to be in less pain when walking and being able to open jars to powerlift? People have lives outside of the gym, if /fit/ is your main board you are a schizophrenic
>>
>novice believes he knows everything about fitness to critique every little thing
Your mistake is thinking we give a shit what you do, little guy.

It’s because weight lifting is a specific training modality for sport, the two main sports being powerlifting and bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is mainly about targeted muscle hyper trophy but as a beginner, your problem is not targeted muscle hypertrophy but a generally poor overall strength and lean body mass, in which case, full body powerlifting programs are optimal. And even if you’re not weight lifting to be a power lifter or bodybuilder, a full body powerlifter routine is usually best for beginners because again, for pretty much all athletes and people just looking to be fitter, their single biggest hurdle is their overall lean body mass and strength. So pretty much all beginners in the weight room should be doing full body powerlifting routines. More specific training for weightlifting sports like strongman or Olympic lifting are viable but they’re a lot harder to get into for a newbie. Powerlifting is simple, and it works, for pretty much all beginner athletes of all shapes and sizes. Once you’ve developed a good base strength and musculature and familiarity with a weight room and movements, you can get more specific with your training but until then there’s just no point.

This is pretty much the answer. Whether you’re talking about someone who wants to be a bodybuilder, a strongman, an oly lifter, a crossfitter, or any other athlete or even just a strong athletic person, the single biggest problem a newbie has is they’re just not strong and developed enough overall. That’s where powerlifting training comes in. It’s simple, it’s sustainable, and it works for newbies.
