Is powerlifting a mental illness? I can understand striving for PRs but at the point where you're literally carrying 50 pounds of extra fat and still prioritizing numbers over aesthetics/health aren't you being a little ridiculous? I could understand maybe being that fat and buying a bunch of expensive gear if you were a linebacker and it was your job but why maintain such a gross body when you could lose a considerable amount of weight and still practice your hobby?

I never said it was amazing.
It's still proportionately far stronger than a man 80 pounds heavier than me lifting just 90 pounds more for a 2 less reps with a shitton of expensive lifting shit.

Big difference between 1x3 for 3 plate and 1x4 4 plate.
I dont care about his weight I would be more impressed by his rather then yours. Get good.

The only mental illness is caring how much weight you can pull off the ground in the first place.
Powerfats are just failed oly lifters or bodybuilders.

Who said that's his 1RM? Maybe he has a meet this/next week and he's working at 50-60% capacity.
