What is the difference between strength lifting and bodybuilding lifting plans?

I work out every few days and i have tried a lot of different lifting routines. Right now i lift 4 sets at 8-10 reps. I am strong and ripped but not "big." I think this might be because of my type of workout. I know there is difference between strength lifting and bodybuilding lifting. Should i do a bodybuilding type of workout to gain weight? Also, what is good bodybuilding routine?

1. To build strength and endurance you need to do high amount of reps with a lower weight. To body build you need to lift a high amount of weight doing a lower amount of reps. :)
2. well the bottom line is..... if u want to gain more mass you have to be eating alot more calories..a bout 20x your body weight in calories... and u have to be lifting heavy.. 4 - 6 reps a set. and u would have to focus on more powerlifting exercises, bench press, squats, deadlifts, etc that is more powerlifting exercises... u need to do a combination of both.. and workout hard.. 40 - 60 mins 4 - 5 times a week eat 1.5 grams of protein for each pound u weigh train each muscle once a week mon chest tue biceps triceps wed back thur shoulders fri legs
3. I agree with tennislo. I have gained 10-15 pounds of muscle in the last 3 months eating large and lifting large. If you eat good food and not junk food then you will not gain as much fat over your bulking stage. My routine is: Chest and triceps-Monday Back and Biceps-Tuesday Legs and Shoulders-Wednesday Then take a day off and start over again On chest day make sure you do bench. On back day make sure you do deadlifts. (Amongst other exercises) On leg day make sure you do squats.
