Most of powerlifting is a joke.

There needs to be a fed that works honor in lifting properly into their Wilks score or what the fuck ever.

Strongman is the 'functional strength' one. Powerlifting is just the less faggy version of olympic lifting.

>Powerlifting is just the less faggy version of olympic lifting.
More faggy.

>>41191773
Honestly i think oly are the most athletic, in pl you can trick ROM and shit but in oly u can't trick anything Tecnique and strenght. And btw never tried oly lifting, i just enjoy watching it.

>>41191695
I don't get it. Can someone explain me what's the difference between Oly lifting, power lifting and weightlifting?

>>41191670
how about you just touch your chest with the bar without unracking, would that count?

>>41191670
Is this common amongst powerlifting? Looks dangerous.

>>41191695
pic is truth

>>41192848

Oly and weightlifting is the same. They compete in clean and jerk + snatch. Powerlifters compete in bench, DL and squat.

>>41192848

I don't know why anyone would want to look like the guy top left. Seriously, I'd rather be able to lift half as much as him and not look like a human bowling ball.

Thank you guys

Why don't they make a rule that you have to have your back flat?

>>41191670

>>41193224

Nope.

>>41192929
weightlifting is actually Olympic lifting by definition. It was appropriate by bodybuilders who wanted to hide their feminine pageantry.

>>41193051

Probably because of the natural arch.

>>41192929
strongman
log press, stone ball to wood cube, walking frame farmers carry, stairs with weights, holding two logs until, squatting old timey 700 lb barbell smacking it against safeties, deadlifting car, picking up log and pushing it ober its tipping point, bending metal bar over head..

>>41193051
because benching heavy without an arch is unhealthy and unsafe so the problem is really with regulating the amount of arch because there isn't really an easy way to do it.

gotta ban it though, absolutely braindead.

>>41191670
A minor arch and pinching shoulder blades back is natural but this shit would never count in a real competition. If it does then I've lost what little respect I had left for these people.

he has good genetics for this. most people will try to arch and use a wide grip but he has short arms and also can somehow arch more than most people. and it's not dangerous because none, or at least very little of the pressure is on his back even when he does that.

>>41193351
it's not actually him. i dont know why it's a meme that it is

>>41191670

I'm no power lifter and a dyel, but how can this be considered in the true spirit of the sport? It's pretty clear he couldn't bench that much without arching. They should make him keep his feet forward.

>>41191773
>>41196786
>>41196317
Fags say this a lot, that people who arch a lot on the benchpress aren't doing a real bench press or are going against "the spirit of the bench press." According to powerlifting rules, all you need on the bench is shoulders and glutes. Does a large arch make it an easier lift? Of course. Is someone who benches 405 with no arch stronger than someone who benches 405 with a massive arch? Yeah, probably. But powerlifting isn't a competition of strength. It is a competition of moving weight within the rules. Much like a basketball player who is really tall or a swimmer with massive feet, this particular lifter has a physical trait that helps him to bench more. These mechanical advantages are seen in other lifts too; the best squat, hands down, was done by Andrzej Stanaszek. He is literally a dwarf and his squat is a few inches. No matter what the rules are, there will always be people who push the rules to the limit, and those that can, are just luckier than the rest of us.

>>41191670
could this idiot do 2 plates for reps without looking like the mcdonalds arches?

>>41196317

>>41196317
This actually triggers me. This piece of shit did not earn that weight. I want to fucking murder him.

>>41196930
It entirely depends on your league though. If you do this shit in some places you will get only red lights. You are a fucking joke and no one likes you or thinks you are strong.

>>41196930
bro, i know you are trying to be serious but a lot of people see things different from your own perception. yeah, acording to some rules his lift is legit. to my eyes, that shit looks ridiculous. im not saying his strenght isnt shown, in some regard at least. it just looks fucking ridiculous, its like looking at an award ceremony in which everyone gets a trophy because of simply beign there.

Well maybe they do the routines they do in order to lift more, not look better. Because looking good doesn't get you points in a POWERLIFTING competition.

>>41192827
I would do oly lifting if it didn't scare the shit out of me.

I especially admire that they replaced the clean and press with the clean and jerk once they realized people were gaming the form.

>>41196930
The dwarf is legit but that back arching shit is ridiculous

>>41196930

man you got this copypasta on lock for these threads

I honestly hate powerlifters. They're unaesthetic as shit and hog all the racks. Imagine spending that much time in the gym to look worse than the average guy on the street.

Clearly they were all bullied as children for being faggots and lifting weight makes them feel powerful.

>>41197912
You honestly think scooby is natty? Dude is almost 60 and still big. Look at ronnie coleman's (52) recent instagrams. One of the biggest dude in the world in his prime. They are basically the same size and leanest. At the age the body's test levels fall a lot. And you know ronnie is still cycling for life cause he abused that shit so his natural production is fucked.

>>41198049
Scooby is natural, with age you look a lot more juicy from the vascularity. FFMI isn't that impressive and he's been lifting for decades.
He is also German, bodybuilder coincidence? I bet not. Genetics matters, too.
Seriously, I thought /fit/ knew better then this...

>>41198150
The dude is as big and vascular as arguably the best if not one of the best genetics in the history of bodybuilding while being older. You're delusional

Olympic lifting is weightlifting. (Not to be confused with the more general term "lifting weights")

Powerlifting is squat, bench, and deadlift.

Ironically, the two sports are misnamed.

In weightlifting, you actually see the most power (force x distance / time).

In powerlifting, you see the most weight.

how is this allowed

Are there any strength standards that account for variation in different lifting disciplines? Like, what an average weightlifter could deadlift compared to a powerlifter or bodybuilder. I'm curious what the baseline difference would be in how much weight people can actually move.

Lmao you're a real fag, kid. Sumo is every bit as cheating as excessive arch in the bench. Shorter range of motion in both cases. Both allowed under dumb federation rules. Reserved for people who enjoy semen, like yourself.

>>41204284
excessive arch makes the lift easier for everybody sumo doesn't unless you are built for it.

>>41198182
He's on trt but he's fucking old so hes as natty as being about 25 for four decades is considered natty (modern natty)

The thing is those people with tiny arms that can arch + max grip and do a small amount of ROM like that on bench, tend to suck at deadlifting because they have really short arms.

And since deadlifting is a much bigger part of your total they aren't going to win on totals, only win on benching.
