Possible to be well-developed but weak?

Going for a max in the same movement each time is detrimental.
Going for a new max in a different movment, (often assistance exersizes) is possible.
Thats Louis Simons method at West side. Cant argure w/ the results. They dont even keep track of 500lb benchers at his gym anymore.

i wasnt talking about powerlifting programs, so i dont know why you quoted my post.

there is not much to debate:

im not gonna post in this thread more...just say: as a bodybuilder if you want to be considerably bigger you have to get stronger (in one way or another).

i completely disagree that strength equates to size.

when i would train for strength in bench, yes i got stronger, but not much bigger.....

only when i trained w less weight and for higher reps is when i got bigger.

i think more reps get you bigger.....not more weight.

so, this explains the phenomenon......not always the guys with the biggest chest are the strongest.

my advice is to train w BOTH high reps and low reps.....strength and size.
