The reward is to lift a weight that was previously too heavy, dipshit. To become one of the strongest humans walking the planet. The reward is this, plus perhaps a title, trophy, etc. The same as ANY other sport: the attainment of perfection pertaining to your discipline. Like a runner finishing his first marathon. What's difficult to understand? You don't aim for the same goal ... big shit. Doesn't make it any less legit as a pursuit.
Are you simply that simple?
nope, you still just missed the point.... obviously you're a fugly fat powerlifter that started working out years ago to be ripped muscular and in shape to get girls but couldnt do that for multiple reasons so you figured maybe i can just lift heavy ass weights one time, therefore still being able to lift, look like fat shit to normal people, but still feeling that you have a purpose in life.... i lift things up and put them down , i lift things up and put them doowwwnnnnnn... life must suck for you if that is what you do.... What do we live in fucking neanderthal times where it matters how strong you are? to survive? to provide for your family? or do you just want to impress Bay, you big muscle bear you.. my grandpa once told me this quote, God created man, Colonel Colt created them equal.... so my question to you sir is, how simple are
you?
now if you were an olympic lifter, well thats a whole different story
