What Is Power Building?

Subject: π₯ What Is Power Building (and why it works so damn well)
Hey ladies β Coach Rob here π
Letβs talk POWER BUILDING ποΈββοΈ
βPower building is taking the best of powerlifting and the best of bodybuilding β and combining them into one powerful approach.β
Itβs how you build:
πͺ Strength π₯ Muscle β‘ Power
π§± The Power Side
Powerlifting is incredible for building raw strength β especially in the big barbell lifts:
β’ ποΈ Squat
β’ ποΈ Bench Press
β’ ποΈ Deadlift
It builds a rock-solid foundation, teaches efficient movement, and makes you brutally strong.
But⦠traditional powerlifting can leave some things on the table:
β Hypertrophy (muscle growth)
β Direct muscle work
β Accessories that build balance, size, and resilience
π§ The Building Side
Thatβs where bodybuilding shines β¨
Bodybuilding excels at:
β
Muscle growth
β
Targeted development
β
Smart accessory work that supports long-term progress and injury prevention
π₯ So What Is Power Building?
Power building = combining both.
βοΈ You train the big lifts to get strong
βοΈ You use hypertrophy and accessory work to build muscle, balance, and durability
The result?
You donβt just lift heavy β you look strong, feel strong, and move strong.
π§βπ« Why I Teach This
I donβt talk about my background a ton, but for context:
β’ π Competed in bodybuilding
β’ π 50+ powerlifting competitions
β’ π The vast majority at a high level
Everything I teach comes from real-world training, coaching, and competing β not theory.
Power building is: β’ How I trained β’ How I coach β’ How I help women get strong without beating themselves into the ground
π― Is Power Building Right for You?
If your goal is to:
β’ Build real strength β’ Build muscle β’ Build power β’ Train with purpose instead of random workouts
π Power building is where itβs at.
