I go off of years and years of experience and being in both the bodybuilding and powerlifting world. I also personally know many a power lifter who went back to powerlifting after bodybuilding and openly admit its because bodybuilding was tougher and more demanding with the diet and insane hours spent in the gym. I also have met many bodybuilders who said they decided to do bodybuilding as a step up from powerlifting and stuck with bodybuilding because it was more of a challenge.
Power lifting is far more about genetics, overall years spent in the gym, and having a good routine. It doesn't require you to spend 3 hours a day in the gym 6 days a week going massive amounts of reps and fluctuating between 60lbs and over 10% BF changes
I honestly have yet to meet one person who has done both powerlifting and bodybuilding who sayd powerlifting is either tougher, more challenging, or takes a stronger more determined person.

I generally agree with you though that BB is harder than powerlifting. Most people just don't have the time it takes to devote themselves to BB recreationally.

I am pure bodybuilding and have been doing high volume lifting for 2 years now, never go below 8 reps and always do light weight 15-20 rep lifts and I rep more weight than you max,hell I did 405 raw bench for 8 the other week, 405 squats for 6 and 405 deads for 12.
Does my opinion hold more weight because I can do more?

I'd also love to do an Ironman.Not trying to talk **** at all to you, 100% serious, but theres no reason to laugh at natty bodybuilding, in fact, I think its more plausible than natty powerlifting.

@jestbrah
Also reading your previous post yes for me bodybuilding is much harder than powerlifting for one I have only been lifting for 2 years and started sedentary and obese so I can't expect to just be a bodybuilder over night. My route has been just lifting hard on compounds or 'powerlifting' as a way to build a base while I build cardio and get my diet on point the end game of being able to bodybuild legit and actually do well with it. Just for me I started to lift to be a bodybuilder but it will take time, I think though I have much respect to elite powerlifters though in the end it's pretty mutually exclusive the two, at least most bodybuilders I have watched or learned from are strong as fuark and have a passion for powerlifting. End diary

I also have respect for elite powerlifters, the issue is there aren't many, and just to me even the guys who compete at state championships aren't impressive because many bodybuilders at my gym lift heavier weight than the same powerlifters at the gym competing in state championships, hell one guy went to nationals and I know at least 5 of the bodybuilders at my gym outlift him.
