That is, up until 476 AD, when they found themselves fighting the Barbarians who invaded Rome from the Germanic region of Europe. And this time, it was the Barbarians who [...]

I recently heard of the term called “Powerbuilding”. It is basically strength training or powerlifting combined with bodybuilding. There have been some famous weightlifters, most notably Ronnie Coleman who have been called Powerbuilders. For a long time I was lifting in a powerbuilding mindset, but took about 1.5 years off to concentrate on getting fat, then losing all the fat and fighting MMA. Now that I’m good to go, I started getting back into it. I’m lifting with my old buddy “Big Joe” and we’re back in the mix. Hopefully I’ll show you some transformation pics – we’ll see. Along those lines, I found a program that is geared towards Powerbuilding developed by Eliot Hulse. It’s called Lean Hybrid Muscle. Eliot is a professional strongman and well as jacked up! His program is SOLID and we are now using many of the workout concepts and techniques outline. Here’s Elliot talking about Powerbuilding. Check out more of Eliot’s program here at Lean Hybrid Muscle
