Strength training is a necessary part of a balanced exercise routine.
This kind of training uses methods like free weights, weight machines, resistance bands, or a person's own weight to build muscles and strength. On the other hand, powerlifting concentrates on how much weight a person can lift at one time. Competitive bodybuilding involves evaluating muscle definition and symmetry, as well as size. Many people tend to lump all types of weightlifting together, but there's a big difference between strength training, powerlifting, and competitive bodybuilding!
