Traditional powerlifts with free weights are superior for conditioning the body and muscle development. As they require a coordinated effort from your whole body, they work stabilising & corse muscles. And the whole body stress triggers testosterone release which encourages muscle growth.
Also, they tend to work more fast twitch fibres, as you go all out for 5 reps at a time. Good for explosive power.
