Is powerlifting just an excuse to be fat? At least half if not

>bald, fat, look like shit, braindead
i've never understood the appeal of looking like these fucking faggots. I don't care how "strong" they are, they look like shit and are literally taking years off their lives by being retarded fat cunts. I train in a powerlifting style, but i refuse to admire anyone who looks like these meme humans.

Yes it generally is.
Diet is a 24/7 exercise in discipline.

Lifting is easy compared to being disciplined with diet. An entire day's diet can be fucked up by one tiny moment of weakness.

How do you train in a powerlifting style without becoming a powerlifter yourself?

powerlifters below 105kg are not fat, because being fat puts them at a competitive disadvantage

if you're 120+ kg class it benefits you to be a fat fuck, big fuck gut = superior squat leverages and it helps your bench as well

By focusing on the big compound lifts as the measurement for your gym progress.

But you just don't compete in powerlifting.
