I know powerlifters that are taking every bit as much shit as pro bodybuilders. I don't care what some buck-70 guy with some letters after his name tells you. You're not going to gain mass on a diet of singles and triples like you will on sets of 8-20+. From an anecdotal standpoint, we know this. It's because the training methods for strength and size are not the same. No one cares how much you squat or shrug or curl on a bodybuilding stage, yet bodybuilders carry far more mass than powerlifters.
What do bodybuilders do? They make the muscles work. Your support or assistance work, is BODYBUILDING. Before someone throws out another obvious "duh", some people still do not get this. You shouldn't be training to get good at good mornings, you should be using good mornings to make the muscles involved in the deadlift and squat, bigger and stronger. It's supposed to be used to make the musculature involved in the main lift stronger. Yes, I know some people squat in a good morning style, but the fact is, it's still support work. I've never seen a single powerlifting event where the good morning was part of the big 3. I could feel what muscles were supposed to be working, and that is what your support and assistance work is really supposed to be doing. I did find however, when I backed way off on the weight and concentrated on getting the most out of the movement, that 225 offered far more benefits than 450+.
