Tweeti did the sport for a while in my early 20s and really couldnt get into it. i have always been more into bodybuilding and so i pursued that side of training. now fast forward to a couple years back. i started watching and reading some of the power lifting dudes stuff. dave tate louie simmons and a bunch of others. man their is a ton of info that translates over to what i do not to mention these dudes are massive and move some silly weight. most of the guys coming up now are actually in pretty good shape as well, which you can see a switch in the trends

TweetI can't do that ass to grass shit w/ squats !!! Bad lower back and bad right knee .
I use mostly machines when I do legs but hey it works for me .
I like Hack Squats and Front squats & Leg Extensions , to name a few of my favorites !!!

Yes there is mos def a new breed in the powerlifting world, a lot of it has to do with their dieting though as well as training. You are correct though a lot of what they do translates well into bodybuilding.

Don't get me wrong I love moving weight but never really wanted to pursue that aspect so much as wanted to look good naked lmao. But it is so nice and such a confidence boost once you get past benching 3 plates, squatting 4 plates (not there yet), and dead lifting 4 plates (no joke got real dizzy when I first deadlifted 415, not from the pull but from the roar I let out immediately afterwards lol)
