I'd like to rant about bodybuilder wannabes and other goons in the gym who do plenty of olympic lifts in their training programs. These guys use the excuse of "powerlifters are BIG!" as their sole reason for training with weight that's way too heavy for them for low reps...because powerlifters are big.
Well. I tell ya what. I'm all for keeping basics like benches, squats and deads in a bodybuilding program...that's smart. But going for singles, doubles, triples...wtf?
There's a reason you never see a ripped powerlifter. Train like a powerlifter, look like a powerlifter. Train like a bodybuilder, you'll look like a bodybuilder. For some reason you just never see these guys in the gym dieted down, nor do they look anything other than a big bulk of mass.
At least be honest with yourself and admit that you train for strength and not much else. That I can respect. But shitting on bodybuilding methods because so-and-so powerlifter has with huge legs trains heavy with low reps is foolish.
That is all.
