Is powerlifting pure cope?

[aleeboy]

Powerlifters are autistic and fat looking people.

Strong cope.

And LOL at the bag full of goodies they always bring around with them.

[kimm4]

Nothing wrong with powerlifting so do what you enjoy.

[WallStreetDream]

Massive amount of lifting in general is coping. Srs. Unless you're an athlete, 1-3 cardio sessions + 2-4 lifting sessions every week = enough.

[Brosnbroccoli]

2. Nerds who grew up with no friends and an Internet connection, and treat lifting like a video game, with the highscore being your max lifts. They likely don't appreciate bodybuilding so much because they were never used to the idea of having results without seeing improvement in numbers. Aesthetics is less about numbers so it doesn't hit the reward system for this guy.

LMAOOOO
Funny cause it's true

[FitnessEmperor]

This whole thread is cope. Pretty much all lifting is good and aesthetics are a game changer. Miscers sounding like the lazy sjws they hate.

[Aristotelian]

This. How is doing X, if you enjoy it, "coping"? Whatever happened to having fun?

[Lpenny]

Pretty much. Powerlifting is for two people:

1. High school football players/athletes who couldn't make it, so they got into powerlifting instead to feel like they're still athletes.

Get out of my freaking head demon

[ChristianMR]

If I've learned anything on the misc, it's that literally everything besides tongue-lashing buttholes and sucking nice, clean wieners, is cope and beta.

[PaddleBunt]

Not a good parallel my friend. Cardiovascular fitness is the body's true life extending fitness.

The vast majority of research suggests that the more effective predictor of 'life extending' fitness would be retaining lean body mass and strength into old age, aka resisting the effects of sarcopenia and osteopenia.

So actually, resistance training is more important in terms of longevity. Not to mention many of the cardiovascular adaptations from "C.v exercises" can be attained from lifting provided sufficient intensity

[frump94]

Competing in a sport you love doing =/= cope
Being a fat kunt in the pursuit of lifting huge numbers = cope

[Kev1972]

Much like anything else it can be taken too far.

If you are PLing to the point where you are injuring yourself for a 'sport' with zero actual payoff its probably time to hang up the singlet and do something more productive with your time.

Honestly, some of the responses in here are beyond laughable. Some of you literally could not show any more ignorance or be more wrong about every word that you so carefully typed out on the screen. I am baffled...truly baffled at the stupidity of a number of the responses in here.

Works for me.

[thc sargon]

I don't understand bodybuilding without being enhanced, PL'ing without being enhanced is actually possible.

[sg1976]

This but i fully acknowledge its just my opinion and people should do what makes them feel good.

Marathon running = a lot of hard work no pussy look like chit 90% of the time
PLing = a lot of hard work no pussy except for small niche of women impressed by it or if you look like a magnus top level dude
Bodybuilding = lot of hard work but the amount and quality of pussy you get is worlds ahead of if you were non lifting no avi scum

I want to put something into perspective here.

You Arnolds and Lou Ferignos were more aesthetic than the freaks today. Honestly if were gay and no homo I would give it up to Lou and Arnold befroe Kai Greene and Jay Cutler. Todays bodybuilders are freakish and no better than powerlifters.

Misc be like me and bae hittin the gym together

ouch

[zarathu5tra]

In after Rubish

[PKneyr]

How is it cope? Assuming you are relatively lean, what is wrong with PL?
I am not a fan of 1-3 RM's, too demanding for a casual lifter.

In after Pete.

It's sad because most losers on this forum have no idea who this is (if not frauding) and respect people with older join dates/higher rep power more...

It's hard to explain, this is the misc section, these "guys" hate their life, women, working, powerlifting, etc.

[Amino89]

I go heavy on big compounds then do bodybuilding routine for rest. Best of both worlds. Try to get stronger lb for lb

spoken like someone who hasn't reaped the hidden unseen benefits of it.
