Olympic lifting is way more fun. Also way harder to become competitive (at a local level)

Powerlifting is obviously better for hypertrophy than the classic lifts. It's why weightlifters supplement with bodybuilding stuff, because the classic lifts aren't enough for hypertrophy.
>>
/fit/ shits on trex mode and squatting every workout all the time and then turns around to suck weightlifter dick.
You can have only one of those, you faggots
>>
I did oly for a couple of months, all the guys there were obsessed with training and would get depressed if their lifts weren't good enough. Our coach wanted us to put training over everything and would get really upset if we didn't progress at his pace.

After two months I said thanks to the coach and went back to basic powerlifting at home. The main reason I joined that gym was because I couldn't afford bumper plates for my home gym.

Besides, the good lifters were compete t-rexes it was ridiculous. But that's just my opinion.

they're quite similar

I started WL two months ago, it is really fun and can be aesthetic if complement it with upper body hyperthrophy (goodbye boring leg days).

Powerliftig is just boring as hell.

>pick something up
>sit down
>extend arms

Auto tragic is machines free weight is manual
U need oly lifting and powerlifting to be a good athlete. On a side note, cleans are a very natural movement. I notice myself doing it all the time. If you want to carry something heavy without a handle you "rack" it on your shoulder and clavicles just like a clean. If you just pick it up and hold it like a deadlift it bangs into your legs.

This is nonsense. Yes your legs generate most of the power in the lift, but don't pretend that the stabilizing muscles (shoulders, traps, core, etc) don't get worked throughout the lift. Most weightlifters that I encounter have balanced, natural looking physiques.

Sounds like it just wasn't the sport for you.
>>
>>35430314
Well, it is their job to be /fit/, so you'll have to find a way to devote as much time as they do to lifting (and I am guessing the devote even more than 40hrs / wk).
>>
>>35426707
I won't deny your anecdote, and I do not compete in weightlifting. I do the lifts, though, and I don't see how it would make for a T-rex.

Clean? Leg dominant, but the pull to get under the bar works back.
Jerk? Leg dominant, but press component works shoulders, tris, upper chest.
Snatch? Leg dominant, but traps and delts are engaged.

Plus, your training involves pressing (shoulders upper chest, tris), front squats (core), probably plenty of shit I don't know about.

You probably deadlift with your snatch/clean grip once in a while, and are still able to bench and do some pullups for fun.

I would imagine your physique would be similar to an elite powerlifter, with the notable exception of a smaller lower chest, larger upper chest, and (maybe) more developed quads. Not enough to make you a T-rex, though.

Oly lifters tend to do very little actual pressing work. It became kind of inefficient for a lot of purposes once the press got taken out of competition.

In terms of big compounds... you basically have variants on the competition lifts, back squats and front squats. Maybe some bodybuilding work depending on your programming, but it won't be a big deal in a lot of cases.

And no, you can't count the drop in jerking as press-like, or the third pull in the clean as being much back work. For efficient lifters there's very little of that going on.

There is no press component

pressing during a jerk = red lights
