Teen hits 2000+ raw total

You've made 10 posts since you said you had to leave and see a movie with your mom. Do you lack the self control to just log off? Do you want me to let you have the last word, little guy?

I think you need a break, you are one mad little guy right now.

Why are you arguing with that 23 year old?

Umm... Being taller makes it harder... Not easier. But you are right, your numbers are pretty good and you have great potential! Keep up the hard work and create your own account and stop letting your dad make a bad reputation for you.

I think this is the best advice somebody could give you, your dad is running around saying you're stronger than a guy with a 2k total who is probably the strongest teenager alive, maybe ever, and that's just a small sampling, if it was toned down I'd say it was just a proud papa but at times it's ridiculous, I think just about everybody in here wishes you the best of luck.

it doesnt matter to me so ill never half to compete with you cuz your older than me you dont exist in the powerlifting world your name is in no federation and you have no videos of you. to me you just a fat guy sitting in a lazy boy eating chips drinking beer and making up an account. cuz you get your high off putting down other people that try to do something productive with there lives.

As a fat guy sitting in a lazy boy eating chips and drinking beer I would like you to know that I am still stronger then you.

wow!!! i never said that i was stronger than eric lilliebridge. That kid is one of my favorite powerlifters. He is up there with ed coan and kirk i would never say i was ever stronger than eric because im not. I look up to that kid and probably always will.

I didn't know that being uniformly terrible at constructing English sentences is a genetic trait.

That guy is definitely huge for a teenager.

k well in powerlifting as you know because u are a powerlifter if you ad that total up for that 16 year old in your highschool that nose wieghs 130 pounds heavier than big d that 16 year old kid in your highschool totaled 1750 wich is 5.38 times his bodywieght and big ds total is 1300 and is 195 lbs body wieght wich is 6.67 times his body wieght wich would mean big d would win the compatiton by far

While I agree that bodyweight/lift ratios are important most people are more impressed by maximum weight lifted. It is easier to lift higher ratios of your bodyweight when you are lighter. It is relates to the square cube law. As a tissues cross sectional area increases by the power of 2 the total volume of tissue increases to the power of 3. Muscles and bone get proportionally weaker as they get larger as they are supporting more and more of their own weight. In olympic weightlifting they have the sinclair coefficient to account for this. This allows you to more fairly compare lifters in different weight classes. A 60kg lifter could snatch 120kg which is impressive but no where near the world record. As far as I know no super heavy weight has ever come close to snatching double bodyweight but I find a 125kg superheavy weight snatching 210kg FAR more impressive than the 60kg lifter doing double bodyweight.

In the end the STRONGER person is the one who lifts more. Stronger per lb of bodyweight is a different thing. The amount of work you do in a lift and the power you are capable of outputting depends on how far you move the weight as well. The giant football player is not only lifting way more weight but likely moving it farther, which may not matter in powerlifting, but it is still more impressive imo.
