Lets be honest, powerlifting is major cope

[kinzu1996]

What does represent true strength? What is a better metric to measure it?

Good question. Distance x weight plus time if you want to be it even more accurate

'I probably outlift you with full roms. Cope more with your powerlifting toys'


You probably cant

I wish I had short femurs.

As one of the earliest haters of powerlifters, the aleeboy is extremely proud of the OP.

To this day I’m not sure whether my bloatmaxxed haters dislike me because I look down on them as mouth breathing powerlifters or manlets.

Just lol at powerlifters most likely being manlets too.

Talk about cope and some very disappointed parents out there

Just saw your log. Lmao just lmaoo. Stop bragging about these chit tier numbers. And i do outlift you by mile. Now go and put some bench press shirt and your other powerlifting toys so you can sleep at peace at night.

[Jessejame5]

Huge cope. Consistent bro split gets as strong a IRL would ever require with the bonus of improving your appearance (dating and social domains)

Mad respect to the PLers with good physiques tho. Would rather be that than a twink with abs

This guy has a log?

Talk about needing attention badly. Just lol

Let’s also not forget the trolley they drag around. I always lol when powerlifters take out their squat nappies and then start banding their knees whilst sitting down on a bench in the squat rack. These losers literally take the rack for three hours to do three reps.

Absolutely the biggest jokes and they are smell like piss because they don’t wash their nappies.

I think he’s a manlet, bro. He’s one of my haters but I’m not sure as he could be a delusional power lifter as well.

I now understand why he is exactly like my sig.

Powerlifters are on that manlet time ROFL

This was argued on a few podcasts I heard recently. And the James Hollingshead reference was dropped, amongst some others.

Its a guy you can name a lift and he will hit a **** ton of weight. You say "okay james go do dumbbell bench" james proceeds to grab 200s and hit some reps. You say "okay james go do some barbell squats" he proceeds to load up 700lbs and hit it for reps. You say "okay james, go do some lunges" he proceeds and does 315lb lunges for 25 meters.

Thats a strong mothafuker.

Lmao Loled hard brother. On spread

[lllEZRAlll]

bodybuilding is the real test of that. Doing 3 reps then taking 5 minutes to eat some gummy worms isnt "hardcore"

Try doing a cluster set of 5x5 with 20 second rest with 5 plate deads then going to 14pps leg press for deep controlled presses for 20 reps then hammering out some 18 plate hack squats for rest pause sets of 12/6/4 finishing up with 20 steps per leg barbell lunges. All the while without eating any gummy worms or listening to two whole songs to 'get in the zone"

You want a ****ing cookie?

Wait, no, you obviously want some gummy worms.

Hollar at me when you find someone that pulls 800+ who doesn't get nutty in the weightroom. With or without gummy worms, lol punk

[Icepops81]

Couldn't disagree more. I guess it's just how my brain is hardwired. Nothing takes priority over power. I'm not talking about showing up to a multi ply meet with a 1" rom. I'm talking about locking myself deep inside a dungeon somewhere noone knows, slapping on as many plates as humanly possible without tearing my limbs off. It ain't about "powerlifting"

It's about my safe space to lose my ****ing mind

Too much rep given out. But this is what it’s all about. You against yourself. A weak minded guy like OP doesn’t have the mental capacity to figure it out

[AdvancedDreamer]

I wish I had short femurs.

I wish I didn't have valgus ankles. Makes balancing on my legs a nightmare.

I payed it forward to you my man, may we all strive to be better today than who we were yesterday, cheers, I'm out

[aleeboy]

It’s really funny how hard they think they are.

I learned very early on that low reps meant low intelligence. Powercopers always look very smug in their nappies and sling shirts whilst judging people who have good physiques. By the time they’ve put on their nappies, banded their knees and changed to their favorite squat shoes, I’ve already left the gym and this includes doing high rep squat of up to 225x15-20. I could go much higher, but what’s the point?

Just lol. And we wonder why there is a 0.98 correlation between powercopers and manlets.

When will they learn.

Ok manlet. Lemme know when you finally prove that height you so proudly claim.

[aleeboy]

Ok manlet. Lemme know when you finally prove that height you so proudly claim.

And let’s add a big “NO” to your running list of failures in asking for things in your height.

Here’s a reminder:

1. You will not get any taller

2. You will continue to be lol’d at by top tier genetics

3. aleeboy considers you all beggars, so you have zero power to ask for anything from such a highly regarded individual

You mad? And make it clear for me. You hate me because of my view on manlets, or powerlifters?

I know a few guys personally who pull over 800, one of them is sponsored by Animal, another one is a bodybuilder who hit 800 for 3 a few weeks ago.
The one sponsored by Animal said bodybuilders lift way more hardcore hes just better suited for powerlifting. Also worked out in the same gym as another famous world record holding powerlifter who pulled over 800 who is now a bodybuilder because bodybuilding was the ultimate step up from powerlifting and powerlifting was too slow paced.

[sooby]

I never said strength is not important. I said powerlifting numbers doesnt represent your True strength.

nobody is saying that lol so you're punching air right now lol

what's representative of "true" strength then?

you also realize that powerlifters also train full ROM as well, there's only so much you can archmax/technique max before you actually need to build and strengthen the muscles

the goal is to get the highest total in the big 3, so everything is in pursuit of that, not sure what the problem is here lmao

Talk about living rent free, OP.

You know you have won when they are so mad they spend more than two seconds checking your history - which doesn’t mean much either lol

OP is hurting a lot of precious feelings ITT

Don’t care. Dudes like OP are not selfish copers that smell like piss because they forgot to wash their squat nappies for three months. Imagine all the piss stains.

ROFL

And a shout out to those who need to change, band up every body part and leave chalk residue everywhere. You focking selfish savages

[BeginnerGainz]

What does represent true strength? What is a better metric to measure it?

Depends on how you define “strength”

You can be strong as fukk on barbell lifts but can’t lift anything else heavy to save your life. I have yet to see a bloatlord power lifter do a pull-up.

Example: I deliver beer for a living. We got a new guy in, been training for 20 years, he’s 41. On TrT. Reps 400 on squats, 500 for deadlifts and benches sets of 315 with chains. 100 lbs bent arm lat raises. Chit like that.

1 month of hauling kegs and he talks non-stop about quitting. Turns out, barbell lifts don’t translate into other feats of strength and kegs are just as much a pain in the ass as it is for everyone else.

The SAID principle at work.

Like I said I think when you can point to almost any lift in the gym and ask someone to do it and they hit very impressive weight, thats more indicative of strength than someone who practices the same motion over and over and over again.

[LooksMaximus]

Let's be real. Generally speaking...

Powerlifting is for endos that either have no chance of ever seeing their abs or they have to literally starve themselves in order to see two of their abs, so they cope by lifting as heavy as possible.

Aesthetics is for twinks.

The best of both worlds is for mesos.

Being weak is cope.

The older you get the more important strength is and aesthetics don't mean ****.

Nice thread though.

[youtube]f19RmIwi8kw/youtube]

Why is strength more important as you age, especially in the urban 21st century where you can sit on your ass all day making misc vids, drinking beer and ordering food?

If we're talking about mogging, then real fighting ability and experience is the most important. Sure, being a bloatlord can give you some level of feigned confidence, but nothing else gives a man real confidence like stepping into the ring/octagon and sparring heavy/engaging in combat time and time again for several years.

[Ashton117]

Olympic weightlifting > Powerlifting

It requires strength and athleticism
If you can pick up 405+ pounds and jerk it over your head then you're strong. Period.
No one doubts that unlike in powerlifting

One reason Olympic weightlifting isn't more popular is the extensive drug testing.
You can't just blast and cruise in Olympic Weightlifting and get away with it.
Larry Wheels couldn't compete along with many others.

If steroids and peds didn't exist Olympic weightlifting would be more popular
I encourage people to try it because it is a lot of fun

[FrankGrimes29]

Exactly. When my deadlift was pretty big (relative to myself being natty of course) I was so weak in general. I just had a good deadlift for me. Everything revolved around that.

When I focused on db rowing I got much stronger and much more out of it.
