My decision to transition from pro bodybuilding to pro powerlifting

[arnoldfan41]

This was a bittersweet decision, laden with a lot of emotion. After 8 months of living the bodybuilding lifestyle, I have made the painful decision to leave it behind and start training in powerlifting. My dreams of standing on the Olympia stage where Ronnie, Dorian and Arnold himself stood are over. I talked it over with my fiancee then talked about it some more with my mom and dad and we've decided this is what's going to be best for everyone involved. What really pushed me over the edge was C-Swol pointing out the connection Freemasonry has with pro bodybuilding, and he mentioned that powerlifting isn't involved with Freemasonry. So, I will make the best out of this and perhaps set a bench pressing record. I'm already growing a goatee. I will keep you guys posted.

Every industry is ran by Freemasons it's very difficult  for authentic self spoken individuals to thrive in these insustries bc the ones who stay shut mouth and go along with it all are their pony boys, wish more people would stand for something and take the power back!

There's no money in powerlifting

[MORTALCOIL]

So does it mean less or more money spent on gear?

[BigCyp]

Good move, best to start with underground trains. Stand on the third rail, and when they stop in the station try and dead lift the front end.

Same.  

The only difference is that in bodybuilding you tell everyone you're on a fraction of what you actually take.  In powerlifting you tell everyone you take triple of what you actually inject.

I guess the G4P money is out of the equation. Joints must be hurting more but your anus can remain a one way street.

A goatee is a major step in the right direction to be an upper echelon pro powerlifter but, you also need to shave your head and have a atleast a few tats on each arm. Once you have met these basic criteria then the records will fall at your will and pussy will be yours for the taking.

you just want an excuse to eat what ever you like

[BigRo]

What is the connection between pro bodybuilding and freemasonry?

[Man of Steel]

congratulations on this brave choice

[Powerlift66]

There's money in Powerlifting, just ask John Inzer. (Mullet of Peace)...

[WalterWhite]

I was a powerlifter in college and my trophies are now in a box.  Find a career and lift weights for fun, stress release and to keep looking/feeling good.

[Roger Bacon]

I can't remember who said it on here, but they had a good idea.... Jason Genova really needs to switch to Powerlifting...

Thank you for the support. It has been tough. Bodybuilding gave me so much, and I really wanted to go all the way, but I can't screw with this Freemason stuff. It's for the best.

theyre probably on the same amount of gear the only difference is that PW dont starve dehydrate themselves and have actual jobs

Who are you?

[arnoldfan41]

Who are you?

I would rather not say.

[Coach is Back!]

Ok. Regardless, you're making a good choice.

Anthony Pasquale?

C-Swole laid it all out about the blood lines. I've been reading Muscle Missions and I never knew bodybuilding was so evil. I didn't know Arnold was evil.

Pro bodybuilding and heavy powerlifting are bad for your health and joints. Train but forget about lifting anything for one rep maximums. If you lack self-esteem then buy a few trophies. In 10 years no one will know the difference. Wife and family are infinitely more valuable than strength and muscles.
Hope this helps.

Still waiting to hear what the connection is with freemasonry and how bodybuilding is evil? Come on, elucidate!
