Summary
In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris analyse a Reg Park power-focused routine and use it as a starting point to discuss powerbuilding. The episode explores how lifters can structure training depending on whether they lean more toward bodybuilding, powerlifting, or a true middle ground. Key topics include: • Reg Park’s power routine from his Mr. Universe course • The difference between bodybuilding, powerlifting, and powerbuilding goals • How to modify a bodybuilding routine toward strength • How to modify a powerlifting routine toward hypertrophy • Why full body A/B routines may suit powerbuilding better than full body A • How Reg Park’s routine compares to a Chris and Jake's modern powerbuilding program
