Tell me about powerlifters. Why does they wear so much fat?
>>35133260
too bad Misha is oly lifter and strongman
>>35133260
it's not that much.
>>35133260
Your body will sustain more muscle at a higher body fat percentage.
>>35133260
Would it hurt if they lost the weight?
they don't...there are things called weight classes
Mass moves mass.
Not all PLs are fat though. Dan Green is generally ripped.
>>35133283
Spotted the fatty
You hear about the big ones cause they move the most numbers. A lot of the guys in smaller weight classes are generally pretty lean.
Force = mass * acceleration.
>>35133328
they are around 20 %bf. for someone weighting a lot it doesn't seems that much.
>>35133333
The big ones are also 6'4 on average. They can weigh a lot and still be somewhat lean. Look at Thor and mariuz pudowski.
only fat ones are in 242+ weight class
and even some 270lb+ powerlifting/strongman guys are lean as fuck (KKonstantinovs, Stan Efferding, Mariusz, Derek Poundstone, late Jon Pall Sigmarrson, etc.)
guys in lighter classes can't afford to be fat
>>35133380
>>35133283
Yeah they just have a thick core which gives the illusion that they're fat.
Their body mass is the hammer they use to deliver the lethal blasts of concentrated kinetic energy generated by their posterior chain.
>>35133317
it would be very painful
>>35133260
If I licked your strong fat belly would you get an erection?
It would be extremely hard..
That's a big dick
For you
>>35133333
Damn dude nice 5ths or whatever.
>>35133465
Quints. They're called quints. Did you go to elementary school?

Dan green isn't a powerlifter
>>35133260
If you take that fat off, they will die

also pents
>>35133260
you can "bounce" the fat off.
being a fatass lowers the ROM.
being a fatass adds leverage (imagine having peak human strength but weighing 150lbs, you think you can pick up/toss around 1000lbs as easy as an equally strong person who's 280lbs?).
either way powerlifting is a joke hidden as men's fat acceptance.
>>35133333
>those digits
>>35133333
When you get so fat that it spreads into your titties and stomach it makes benching 375+ lbs a lot easier because you only have to move the bar half an inch to rack it for a "rep"
Because if they cut they'll lose muscle and strength. The fat also helps their joints against injuries.
You have weight classes in powerlifting, I guess the heavyweights don't give a fuck about their bodyfat as they're the heaviest and strongest and don't have to worry about crossing x limit.

Everyone in this thread aside from these fine bane posters is an idiot.

wew lad
Because powerlifting does not require much mobility and therefore there is no significant disadvantage to being fat.
Yet he's still more athletic than all the 6 pack bum boys on /fit/.
ITT: Morons that don't know the difference between powerlifting, weightlifting and strongman nor are they able to differentiate between a natural athlete and drugaroos.
>>35133399
you're a fat guy
>>35135416
No he's not by athletic if you mean all he can do is lift heavy things and put them down and grunt like an idiot, he is not athletic. Guarantee I would beat this guy at any sport, slow af, cant run more than a few feet in front of him without having to stop and eat 50023490 calories so he doesn't lose his "gains"
Look at the other classes, they are not fat asses, just the majority of the shw
?
>>35135847
He can snatch 210kg, 1 arm snatch 110kg, and clean and jerk 250kg. You can't do olympic lifts without athleticism. Shane hamman was a 350lb fat ass and could do back flips, like 5 of them in a row and had a 37 inch at 350lb bw. You people are fucking clueless. Go fap to twink porn.
Just gotta think about it like max/min in a game. Prioritizing strength 100% and disregarding aesthetics is more efficient. It could be 3% difference and the world class levels would be dominated by those who follow the approach.
If you're not targeting the upper limits of human potential then you could still get close to that level while being lean.
Was getting big a part of your plan?

>Dan green isn't a powerlifter

its isley anyone that isnt IPF isnt a powerlifter pls dont feed the sperg
>>35133260
Usually better stability due to higher mass.
>>35133260
Because they're afraid to become tiny after the cut
>>35133380

>>35135939
Serious question, does Dan Green have shoulder inserts or something?
Those are not normal shoulders.

is he 4'5 or something? every time i see this picture he looks so fucking tiny
>>35138802
He's probably around 5'8 or 5'11. Looks pretty small.
>>35133260
Because they actually want to be worth something, not just look good.
