Why do people here seem to dislike powerlifters so much? I thought powerlifting is just a sport on who can lift the heaviest barbell and nothing else
>>75466974>sport
>>75466974It's obese people who can't hardly move around but think they are athletes who know the Right way to train.
>>75466996Are they all obese though?>>75466979Wjy isnt it a sport?
I hate all fat people regardless of what they do.
>>75466974Success breeds jealousy.That, and 90% of /fit/ is under 18 and thinks they're all gonna look like CBum if they follow their favorite e-celeb's advice and buy a bunch of useless junk supplements.Everyone needs to learn the hard way.
>>75466974>who can lift the heaviest barbellbut it's not>>75467048fpbp
>>75466974> "boy you're not a real heckin man if you can't deadlift 400lbs, a real mans bodyweight" > eats like shit, looks like absolute shit, lifts 1 rep every 5 minutes> can't run for 5minutes> thinks hes hard as shit
weak people hate strong people because theyre weak
>>75466974I'd guess because they usually look like shit and most people here value looking good over being strong.
>>75466974I have great respect for them but I don't think I would want to live like that.
>>75466974Sounds like a reasonable argument until you see their bench form.
>>75466974>gloveless, straplessbeautiful display of strength
>>75467285Its this. >Runner runs 4:45 mile splits>Well, you can't bench 275 like me>Body builder places at show>Well, you aren't natty like me roidtranny>Powerlifter benches 500lbs squats 700lbs>Well, you can't run a 7 minute mile like meTheyre mediocre
>>75466974Because we all know that one dude that larps as a powerlifter but in reality he just can't put the fork down and copes with that by claiming to be a powershitter.Me personally I have no qualms with powerlifting done by actual powerlifters that compete, although it's a retarded sport to determine strength, strongman is the true strength sport.
>>75466974A lot of powerlifting revolves around "optimizing" lifts, like the 2 inch bench pressThe orgs are trying to unfuck the rules now though, the aforementioned benchfrauding was banned 'bout a year ago
>>75468077Just look at the twinks in the powerlifting general doing their 2inch range of motion deadlifts, or the obese fatties bouncing the bar off their belly like a trampoline when benching.
It's lanklet cope
bc at some point every internet lifting community was obsessed with it and it's inherently unhealthy for the spine, you load is hard as motherfucker for no real reward at all, and it was easy to pressure teenagers into overdoing it by mocking their working weight, so they started to either cheat or got fat or both
>>75466974No one likes an egolifter.Just look at this guys knees. Locked the fuck out. He won't be walking in a few years.
>>75466974>mixed gripDoesn't count.
>>75466974They are all roided up to the grills, with the most livertoxic roids possible (like halotestine) to get Muh new heckin PR!!!.They look like shit, have destroyed joints, and are annoying af with their incel metal music
>>75469474>and are annoying af with their incel metal musicJust let them enjoy themselves in the gym. The moment they step out of it, they are just another fat guy
>>75466974Because a lot of people use it as an excuse to become fat. Also, gay shit like sumo deadlifts and arching on the bench press turned it from a sport about strength a competition to see who can move the most weight the shortest legal distance. Finally, a lot of powerlifters have this weird elitist attitude even though they're fat and their sport is boring.
>>75468087>or the obese fatties bouncing the bar off their belly like a trampoline when benching.to be fair I think that's against the rules in competition.
You don't want to be on pain meds for the rest of your adult life because you did this to your spine trying to set a new PR on the high bar squat.
>>75466974>fatWait until they learn about weight classes.
>>75469935I raise.
>>75469935>>75470001what weight
>>75469935>high bar squat>herniated discPlay stuipd games, win stupid prizes.
>>75467231>boy you're not a real heckin man if you can't deadlift 400lbsyou aren't, there are non fat girls not on PEDs in my gym that can lift thatthreads like these always betray how utterly DYEL /fit/ is
>>75466974They're mad because powerlifters look like their 'before' but are way stronger than their after
>>75468087>the obese fatties bouncing the bar off their belly like a trampoline when benching.Post a single example of this. They all pause.
>>75470268I'm all for deadlifts and squats, but most men, including your dad and grandfathers, couldn't deadlift 4plates.
>>75470268I don't deadlift or power shart so I don't really care
>>75466974It's mostly a sport on who can abuse the rules to move the barbell the least amount possible whilst still technically performing a valid lift.
>>75470422you are right, however they also didn't spend ?? hours weekly going to a gym while avoiding to get strong in a useful manner.>>75470462I cannot comprehend how you would bother to go to a gym and not make it revolve around performance. I am not a powerlifter either, I don't compete, I don't bench, I don't squat low bar. But the number referenced here is something any male can achieve in 6-12 months. Holding that as a reference for "powerlifting" betrays that you're all eternally wheel spinning 150lbs'ers unironically lifting for girls. It's a fucking 4pl8 diddly, that is what he referenced, not a 700lbs low bar squat in wraps.
>>75469935You have severe lumbar hyper lordosis which resulted in huge butt wink.
>>75470529>you are right, however they also didn't spend ?? hours weekly going to a gym while avoiding to get strong in a useful manner.I've hit 640lbs deadlift in my prime, but the idea that you'll ever need to pick up more than 200lbs off the ground is silly. The most you'll ever need to carry IRL is a washing machine.
>>75469935>>75470001Pretty crazy to think Ronnie Coleman lifted for 10+ years with one of these suckers and even squatted and deadlifted 800lbs. I guess that's why he's a cripple now.
>>75466974The "powerlifters" on this board are legitimately mentally ill food addicted pedophiles. It's all about optics. If there were a set of powerlifters like anatoli all over this board, everyone would praise them.
>>75470543>The most you'll ever need to carry IRL is a washing machine.With way worse leverages than a perfectly loaded barbell. How many retards blow their back out from picking up a box off the floor? Guess what prepares you for that?
>>75470567Dunno, but thousands of untrained men carry washing machines every day.
>>75470559>The "powerlifters" on this board are legitimately mentally ill food addicted pedophiles. It's all about optics. If there were a set of powerlifters like anatoli all over this board, everyone would praise them.Bobby has mental issues. Yours are as bad as his.
>>75470623Here you are, responding to me in 15 minutes or less in literally any thread I post in. Get a life, fatty.
>Everyone is BlobbyIm not Blobby. Anon is insane.
>>75470650Nobody called you blobby, schizo.
>>75470529>boy you're not a real heckin man if you can't deadlift 400lbsI don't know bro, why can't you run a mile, why are you fat as hell, why can't you do any pullups?
>>75466974>strong manIt is a pathetic "sport". All of the top competitors get winded just by walking and they need a machine to help them breath while sleeping. It is ridiculous how this is considered a sport. Also lifting heavy is not impressive if the man lifting is heavier than the weight he is lifting.
>>75466974powerlifting is suicide
>>75470559>>75470623>>75470641>>75470650>>75470658Looks like the pedophile lardass general>peoplehave escaped containment with their Blobby leader
>>75470699I can do all of those, again for the love of God pls go fucking lift before yapping here 24/7 with your retard takes

>>75466974>lift the heaviest barbellyeah, fucking retarded lol
This board is called /fit. People who fuck up their pelvic floor to the point of erectile dysfunction are not fit by any measure. I'm not even talking about not being able to do a single pull up.
