1. Bodybuilder
2.Weightlifter
3. Powerlifter

I consider myself a weightlifter because I enjoy the physiques of bodybuilders but I never desire to compete as one. I enjoy watching powerlifters but never desire to compete as one. I would like to get as big and strong as possible but also look presentable.

I like your approach to things Derek. Pretty well rounded and practicle.

i ahve to play to my strengths i will never be incredibly strong, and i care too much about my appearance, so id have to say bodybuilder. i cant say that without feeling stupid though because im still so small (imo)

I understand your reasoning and agree with what you said. And would consider myself the same. But a lot of people would look at theses 3 categories and think that weightlifter would be competitive like bodybuilder or powerlifter, so that would mean an olympic style lifter. So you might say you are a recreational weightlifter, or a non-competitive bodybuilder.

I'd say a recreational weightlifter. I do it to try to stay in shape and feel and look OK. I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs. but I'll never look "bodybuilder big" and don't know if I'd want to anyway. And I'm stronger than anyone I know but not nearly strong enough to win a PL contest either. So it's like I've got the worst of all possible worlds.

How about "bodybuilder that doesn't eat clean enough", or is that the same thing as weightlifter?

Mike · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:36:28 PM »

What about "Powerbuiler." Likes to lift heavy, could complete at a local pw show and hold his own but also primarily concerned with their physique.

I think the best question is: Lift heavy or look good? Tryin to have a good mix of both.

StrengthLifter.......

Functional strength, without regard to aesthetics.

Not a pure "powerlifter" though because I have no desire to compete and my BF% is still decent and I actually do cardio after my workouts.

The biggest difference is that most guys go in to the gym to feel a "pump" whereas I go in to push maxes with tight form......

Whole different mindset.

Recreational weightlifter.

I lift as heavy as possible with minimum pause. Works best for me.
