• Bodybuilding is primarily building and shaping your muscle for aesthetics. However, there is a big nutritional component to bodybuilding that's required to get into contest shape. Bodybuilding is characterized by volume work in hypertrophy ranges. The higher reps per set keep the max weight down and recovery higher--provided you manage the volume correctly. You perform your poses in front of judges, and the person with the highest score for the day wins. There's actually a few variations of bodybuilding, and the criteria for judging are a little different for each.
• Powerlifting is about getting the highest total in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. In competition, you have three attempts at each lift, and the heaviest weight for each of those lifts counts toward your total. Powerlifting can be performed using assistive gear or "raw" (in most feds, raw is just a belt and singlet, sometimes with knee wraps). The goal of powerlifting is to get very strong in those three lifts.
• Strongman is a strength competition where the challenges vary from competition to competition. There is usually a weighted carry (using yokes, farmers walks, etc.), unconventional lifting (such as atlas stones, car deadlifts, etc.), overhead work, and some form of deadlift. It stresses your cardiovascular system as well as your raw strength.
• Weightlifting or as most people know it, Olympic weightlifting is about getting the heaviest snatch and clean and jerk. It's essentially two lifts to get the heaviest total in competition. Both weightlifting movements require you to generate a lot of force in as quickly as possible, and then catch the weight either on your shoulders or above your head (depending on the lift).
