Gotcha. I just thought the fact that bodybuilders don't lift much is due to the fact they don't care about numbers. But we agree on that.
Well they dont need to.
Bodybuilders only train low density muscle. So they do sets of ~12(15nowadays) to 18 reps. This is done to create a hypertrophic state in the muscle.The body responds by building muscle but also trying to get as much blood in that muscle as possible. Musclepump(on training) as they call it.
(not to be mistaken with Nox pump after training, wich just means the time your bloodvessles are open, allowing nitrogen based components inside (see "nitrogen retention")).
Since that is the best way to train big isolated muscle, there is no need to increase the weight, wich will lower the reps.
Because of lower weight, much less taxing training, barely compounds, they dont build extremely strong tendons, ligaments and neural core strenght, and connective tissue between musclegroups. This keeps their strenght lower.
Powerlifters need to train the 5 times i mentionned to improve. Preferably sets of 5tp6 reps, wich low recovery time, is made to grow low density muscle, whilst still taxing the tendons and ligaments significantly, and training neural core. Only compounds will get you the connective tissue going.
Lowering to 1-3 reps, doesnt build tissue. But it further beats down on the tendons and neural core. Ideally, you train only compounds in a way that varies between weeks of 6rep work, and weeks of lower rep work.
