    Nowadays, whereas bodybuilding once ruled the roost, Powerlifting is instead looking at taking the number one spot when it comes to popular gym activities. Rather than simply looking to improve the way their bodies, look, people nowadays are instead training for form and function, which is part of the reason why Powerlifting has become so hugely popular over the last decade or so.
