Are you done with the bulking phase and looking to cut or are you still bulking. If bulking heavier weight less reps and training sessions under 1 hour. These are more concentrated workouts and are more frequent so you can hit all groups you need to have some strategy to insure you do not over work one group check out workout week 2 on my page. If your cutting ignore everything I said powerlifters generally don’t cut up its kind of like if sampson cut his hair.

Hey… I am looking to cut… i am trying all different methods to find what works for me best… It’s really my diet/macros I am playing around with…
What are your suggestions about a cutting diet… high protein, high carb, low fat or high protein, low carb, high fat????
Right know i have starchy carbs in the morning and post work out
what are your thoughts about post work out nutrition ??
 

how long have you been training what are your stats? alot of it depends how advanced of a bodybuilder you are. the way i see it is, for example: who’s gonna need more rest time or fewer sets; the person benching 405 or the person benching 135. alotta people advocate high reps/high volume routines for bodybuilders. they’re just doing what the magazines and old school way of bodybuilding told them to do.  this is not neccessarily the best way to workout however. sometimes less is more. i’m a huge advocate for low volume/high intensity workouts.  but that’s where i stand in my training right now…and that is what is best for me.  trial and error has gotten me to the point

thanks for the suggestions guys—i am looking to bulk up, no cutting as of yet.

you ever tried an olympic lifting workout? you have access to a gym with some platforms and bumper plates?

 
Nah—no olympic lifting.  I’d be willing to try though—sounds like you know your stuff!  You write articles for this site, right?

I never got into olympic weight lifting. What are the benifits of it or is it just preference?

This was perfectly defined

Olympic Weightlifting requires you to recruit a very large proportion of muscle fibrers throughout your entire body. For athletes, Olympic lifts are economical because they reduce the need to perform many lifts in a workout, thereby reducing the time in the gym.
 
Because Olympic Weightlifting movements are typically high velocity, high load and cover extreme ranges of motion, significant coordination and muscle control are required. These movements translate well to explosive sporting movements like jumping and sprinting. For the fitness professional,
 
Olympic lifts can be used to add variety and increase the overall intensity of a training program. There is also a significant metabolic cost to doing these lifts because of the energy required to recruit a large amount of musculature very quickly. Most competitive lifters – aside from the heavyweights – are very lean and have very little body fat.
Olympic lifts also require significant core strength and stability that can transfer to everyday activities. The technique required for Olympic lifts teach individuals to use proper posture, muscle firing patterns and leverage for optimal force application and safety
