Hey Mr.Rainbow,again,you group ALL powerlifters together.Sorry,once again your wrong.I competed in two bodybuilding shows last year THE NPC NEW ENGLANDS and THE EAST COAST USA both in May,[this was 6 months aftet totaling 2120 at 275 in a power meet.].I won the masters in both and placed 5th and 4th in the open.Nothing great,and I certainly have no future or real potential in the sport and realise that Im just a very average bodybuilder,but I did it just to show that I could get in shape anytime I wanted to.So,once again,you have assumed something that turns out to be compltely false.Again,there are some of us that post here that actually put our reputations on the line all the time.We dont need to become internet icons or get famous off of somebody elses accomplishments,or live through others feats.We actually compete and let that do our talking.As far as being defensive,yes,when a guy who has no clue of who Iam or what I lift, claims a women could burry me in strength,then I get a bit pissed off about that as Ive been training hard for 25 years and take pride in the strength Ive built.So,sorry pal,I cant speak for other powerlifters,but this is one powerlifter who also competes in bodybuilding as well.
