The bodybuilder versus powerlifter distinction does not need to be that extreme.
If bodybuilders only use machines, always be a powerlifter.
If powerlifters are required to get fat, always be a bodybuilder.
But thank god, those are false dilemmas. You can get shredded by using powerlifting routines.
Master the big three (squat, deadlift, bench) and add another three (military press, pull ups, rows).
Eat clean, also when bulking, and you will gain muscle without fat.
Fat powerlifters are just lazy eaters and often look down on being ripped, "because that's for pussies."
