Just a curious question though: What kind of body frames are bad/good for weightlifting in general? | ||

No powerlifting is not olympic but it does have world records/comp just like anything else. The world records for each power lift are roughly (not sure) 1080 for bench, 1003 for deadlift and 1200 or so for squat. QuiteIdiot: Good frames for bench / squat are usually large backs, shorter arms and stout legs. The biggest lifters (in terms of weight moved) are all pretty dense.. big chests/backs and they tend to look kinda fat but then they take their shirt off and you realize that padding is ALL muscle. For deadlift it helps to have longer arms for a shorter stroke. | ||

A bench shirt is mandatory for handling anything in the mid 500's and beyond. Your body is not meant to handle weight exceeding those numbers and the shirt gives the support so that you literally can hold together long enough to push the weight up. Do I feel like a tool when I bench 600lbs? The answer is no. | ||

Not in the way of "creatine" anyways. Yes I consume 1-3 protein shakes a day so that my body has ample protein to rebuild the muscles with. I have never taken creatine and probably won't. I used to take some xyience shit but it was taken off the shelves at GNC which is a bad sign. I have sworn off most supplements for now.. if I ever take any it will be stuff like EXPLODE or something that really just helps get more out of a workout as oppose to some illegal shit that does work for you at a bodily expense. | ||

Obviously "you shouldn't be able to run a 4.0 40 yard sprint" but that doesn't mean people haven't. Just not typically. Same applies here. MOST human beings would tear apart trying to hold 715lbs over there body without a shirt on. Does that mean it is impossible? Certainly not. Will I try it? Probably not. I prefer to do what 99% of powerlifters do that compete in bench and that is wear protective gear. He actually wears protective gear too, he used to hold the overall record. But now he doesn't, so I guess he can hold onto his "raw" record. That was just an excuse for me to post that video anyway  My friend and I max out 1 or 2 times a year on bench/squat/deadlift, but I generally try to stay around 150lbs for cycling and I feel if I tried to powerlift well I'd be too heavy. But I guess that's why there are weight classes... GL/HF! | ||
