Strength training and bodybuilding differ primarily in their goals and methodologies. Strength training focuses on increasing overall strength and power output, often performing compound movements such as deadlifts and squats. Bodybuilding prioritizes aesthetic appeal, focusing on muscle size, symmetry, and definition through higher-repetition isolation exercises. Bodybuilders often adopt strict dietary regimens to reduce body fat percentage while simultaneously building lean muscle. While both forms of training enhance strength, they have distinct outcomes and training philosophies.
