The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation thread: Part XVI

[CooCooCaChoo]

does anyone speculate about Big Z's depression? After all...his waist is over 50 and he can't see his dick when he looks down!
Why not?

Or <insert heavyweight powerlifter here> HAS to be depressed cause...fat....right guise?

I wish i can use being fat as an excuse for not being able to see mine

DLT called out pete rubish on a 800 pounds deadlift, rubish said he would do it at his meet wich is in a few weeks.


think he will be able to do it without straps?

[Mitch666]

Damn. That boy is built like a brick ****house. Leverages of peace and prosperity. Good lifting

If brick **** houses jiggled.


No hate on him if that's what he has to do to achieve his goals good for him, I seriously doubt it's necessary but hey that's speculation. He's obviously strong, just definitely not the adjective I would use to describe him lol

How can you make the first statement and then say "No hate"?

Buncha hatin' ass mothter****ers in this thread. "He is strong, may as well make a fuss about something that I am 'better' at than him". Show me a lean guy pressing 450+....OB is rather large, Z is quite gutty, Jenkins was hefty, Dimitar is a shorter rounder individual....it takes a lot of damn weight to put 400+ over your head. There are three exceptions to that rule that I can think of and they are right at 400, not chasing 5. This isn't a bench press where the bench takes a substantial amount of the load for you.

Sh*t....I bet his training isn't optimal either. He should probably press 4-5 times a week.

Maybe he does.

i agree with you, but since you asked

Maybe stephen runs marathons.
Maybe Richard Hawthorne struggles to make it up the steps.
Maybe they both love themselves

I like all his videos. My favorite YT fitness channel.

Truth: "That dude's only big because he has good genetics. If you had his genetics, you'd be twice as big. It's math."

One thing is clear though, and it's that the larger girl has some anterior pelvic tilt. Amirite?

f*ck no. This dude had ONE good meet, and has had grip issues. So what does he do? Train with straps. Great idea hur dur dur


I hope he proves me wrong, but I don't see it happening.



And y'all are being dummies. Steve is incredibly strong, and while he does have a very high bf% how can you guys say that he must feel like crap or how it doesn't appeal to you and yadda yadda. I was 260 35% bf in my childhood, but you know what I wasn't doing? Training heavy, and moving around. I bet he feels damn fine having been at that weight for a longish time, and moving the kind of weight that he does. If he is still 10x more active than the average american, and trains in the environment that he does he most likely isn't going to be as terribly unhealthy as an average human at that same weight.


You know what also isn't "healthy"? Dan Green walking around at 270ish and 15-20% bf. The human body isn't made for that sh*t, it's not made for 90% of the crap a lot of us aspire to. So who cares what the kid is doing, he puts his work in and is a strong mofo so good for him.

[whitessp]

So the EliteFTS SSB that I bought last Friday literally went on sale for $100 less than what I paid today. What do you guys think the chances are of me getting a refund or store credit on that are?

I'm kinda pissed about that. I mean, obviously I was willing to drop the cash to get it, but if I'd have known it was going to be 25% off, I'd have waited a week.

[Hamzzza]

i agree with you, but since you asked

came in to post this

the GOAT

i remember watching this in a compilation for the first time and i thought to myself ''wow, impressive weight to front squat that and without a belt too....holy **** it's over his head''

[Hamzzza]

Max double overhand dl fam? One day I wanna pull 5 plates double overhand, but that's a long way away. Just wondering what others have gotten.

I got 425 on average knurling quest bar with chalk couple days ago.

does hookgrip count ?

never done more than 2 plates without hook or straps

[hammerfelt]

i agree with you, but since you asked

Wow but he should really gain 100lbs. he's clearly not dedicated to being as strong as possible since he isn't fat

Well unlike others I'm not pretending I care about his health or saying "he must feel like ****" or whatever. And I'm certianly not doing it in an attempt to compare myself to him. I don't give a **** what he does as it doesnt' affect me, not trying to be an internet hater but honestly in this instance I guess I am.

I think Jamie Lewis once said in regards to jeff lewis, "No one gives a fuk how much you lift if you have cellulite on your knees". I mean obviously malanichev, lillebridge (insert top lifter here) aren't "lean", but they sure as **** aren't morbidly obese either.

Even back when Dave Tate wrote that article about eating however many xl pizzas drenched in olive oil and like 5 mcdonalds breakfast sandwiches etc etc.. You could tell he lifted weights, he wasn't lean, but again, not obese. JM Blakely the "to beat the man you have to out eat the man" guy who recommended force feeding to bulk was never half that fat.


inb4 negs idc that's my opinion

[arian11]

A couple of good interviews for anyone interested.





They didn't go into too much detail about training but Kim trains 3x a week trying to squat and bench 2x a week. And Ray pretty does the Cube Method right now.

I must be in a funk or something because I literally hate every single human being and struggle to make it through the day without wanting to peel someone's face back

Not even that. I simply hate life

[invain]

Damnit I missed another fat vs lean powerlifter debate.

[NorthStrong]

Not even that. I simply hate life

I am going to say it is because you are too fat - that's where all of life's problems stem from. I can tell even over the internet!!

You need to get laid, bruh.
