Powerlifters are idiots compared to weightlifters. Hope this helps.

Cool videos Coach, what is your argument though? I mean this is called Getbig.com - American Bodybuilding's Original Online Community. Would you rather us all focus our interests on powerlifting?

Meh, I could care less about lifting 'x' amount of weight for egos sake and I would never want to look like a powerlifter.

Powerlifting is a sport where human strength is taken to its very limit... Try to powerlift... oh wait... you need to go to gym in order to do that...

Sorry I hurt your feelings, you can go back to your "powerlifter" training now. I bet you're fat.

there are a lot of powerlifters that built really good,johny jackson,bill kazmire,joe ladnieretc,also the best bodybuilders used powerlifting as a base,arnold,franco,ronnie etc.

lol @ all the powerlifting snobs thinking they're any better than the bodybuilders. both have completely lost the plot and are completely unable to distinguish signifier from signified.

actually i didn't watch the videos but i assume coach is impressed with the "sophisticated" "understanding" of "human physiology" these powerlifters display.

Powerlifters are just strong bodybuilders with poor physiques

A good physique can be seen 24/7, whereas strength can only be seen for the 1% of the day you are under the bar.

Vintage Muscle Bear. There are some things I wish getbig hadn't taught me.

And another shittty powerlifter physique

JP_RC · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2011, 06:33:41 AM »

1 out of how many? The majority are fat, but really strong permabulkers.

But go ahead dj, train like a powerlifter and let's see if your build turn out like those few rare ones.

Their "build" isn't based on their style of training, it's based upon their high bodyfat levels. Take any upper level powerlifter and get him down to sub-8, and then you will see a decent physique. In fact, they will have an even more granite-like appearance due to them training with very very heavy training loads.

It's the eating and training around the suits that causes most to look that way. You can grab piles of lifters from the 60's- early 90's, especially from the #242 and under classes that looked great.

True dat! And his neck is nearly as wide as his waist

I'd say that's a legit 32 inch waist on a 250 pound man, pretty fucking incredible
