yes in many cases powerlifting is an excuse to be an obese digusting pig. and the sport is a joke nowdays with all the equipment, half squats and 485884 different federations.
Powerlifting nowadays is all about having the status that comes from being one. Young powerlifters are elitist who lack the iron mind. One good thing about powerlifters is that they actually know what their sport is about, weightlifters often don't have a clue.
It's still a nice sport without equipment, but it doesn't satisfy me completely, I want to do other stuff as well (basically meaning strongman).
