Is it just me, or is powerlifting the most ridiculous sport in the world? Obviously power lifters are ridiculously good athletes, but there's something about a guy doing a sumo squat barely at parallel depth and then getting credit for it that bothers me. Anything that involves a whole one foot of motion, regardless of how heavy it is, just seems like a huge waste to me. It's more about how much you can get away with than how much you can actually lift. On top of that, you have all the gear--the squat uniforms, the bench shirts, the belts, the wraps, and so on. You also have power lifters who necessarily have to have screwed up limb length in order to compete. Olympic lifting is just a much more appealing sport to me. Taking 230kg and then clean and jerking it--putting it above your fucking head--is just a lot more impressive to me than bench pressing 340 kilograms with a range of 9 inches and a bench shirt that requires 3 people to put on. | ||

Yeah i definitely agree. I'll be damned if i ever start sumo squatting in a bunch of gear that lets me do a shit ton more weight then i would ever be able to. I draw the line at a belt, maybe some wraps. I like doing my lifting in a way that is complete and helps me become a better athlete not just get up huge numbers. I look forward to progressing in olympic lifts as well as powerlifting. Haha you have no idea...i wish there were 12 days in a week so i could get huge and play rugby at the same time. But once season ends i'm eating 4-5k a day and putting in a shit ton of work...looking to get HUGE | ||

No doubt its a great feat, but I do prefer raw or belt only type stuff. | ||

On a more serious note, these guys work very hard to gain muscles and you expect to do it in 2 weeks? | ||
