You'll be silly not to do any conditioning work even if youre trying to gain weight. Just look at all the strongmen. Some may look fat as fuck but their GPP is amazing. Simple complexes after workouts are short, easy and effective.
hence, why a program like layne norton, that combines powerlifting sessions and hypertrophy sessions together in the same microcycle would be beneficial.

If you want your muscle fibers to grow bigger and look fuller, you gotta tear them up.. and a great way to do that if not the only way, is to go to failure at moderately heavy resistance loads. I would only do this on the last few sets so that you are able to sustain your energy throughout the session
