we have afew guys at our gym with guts hanging out and have all the powerlifting gear,bands,squatsuits,bench suits ect.the thing is though,where is it written that to excel at powerlifting you got to have 35% bodyfat with a huge gut?i dont ever remember reading anything about it,its just an excuse to stuff their face imo.i do understand extra weight will give you alittle edge in the sense your joints will have more fluid around them and it can help alittle but who the hell cares how much you can bench or squat when your on the beach,id rather bench 375 and look hard and cut then bench 5 big ones and look like a slob.i guess the powerlifters who get obese dont care much about lookin good but rather playin the strongman of the gym.i rather be tight and watch my diet cause stayin healthy is important to me.to each his own i guess,they are probably laughing at me doing cardio early in the morning,they probably laugh and say while hes eating egg whites and oatmeal later ill be plowin down the home fries,steak and eggs polished off with some apple pie.
