Power Training or Bodybuilding Choice ??

[DarkLord]

As you guys know, I am ectomorphic and have been bulking out now since June. I now weigh in at 103-104 kg. I am still trying to gain but have gone through the slight plateau phase. I am wondering if power training is better to gain mass rahter than bodybuilding for my type body?

Platueaus are inevitable, we all know that. Just work through it and alter your program to, hopefully, reap more benefits. At times it helps to just choose a program straight from some fitness guru and do that for 2-3 weeks. It will usually lead to either slight overtraining (causing an adaption) or slight undertraining (allowing you to recuperate from possible overtraining).

Personally I like to mix rep ranges because unless I lift heavy (3 reps or less) on a regular basis I just don't look the same. There's some element missing. That said, recent research tends to advocate longer TUT for hypertrophy so that generally means medium-rep sets (say, 8-9).
