**14-Week Powerbuilding** is a structured strength + size program built for lifters who want to add real muscle while driving their numbers up on the big lifts. You’ll train with a powerlifting backbone (squat, bench, deadlift and key variations) combined with bodybuilding volume to build a physique that looks as strong as it performs.

This program runs in clear phases across 14 weeks, progressing from volume and technique work into heavier strength blocks—so you’re not just “working hard,” you’re building toward measurable PRs.

**What to expect:**

* A true **powerbuilding split**: heavy compounds first, hypertrophy accessories after
* Planned progression in load, volume, and intensity across the full 14 weeks
* Bench/squat/deadlift variations to attack weak points and keep joints healthy
* Targeted accessory work for chest, back, shoulders, legs, and arms to drive size and support the main lifts
* Conditioning and optional add-ons that won’t sabotage strength gains

**Best for:** intermediate to advanced lifters who want a straightforward plan that blends strength performance with bodybuilding aesthetics.

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels with random workouts, **14-Week Powerbuilding** gives you a step-by-step roadmap to build a bigger body and stronger total—week after week, block after block.
