Can somebody explain to me why ANYBODY would choose to pursue olympic lifting rather than powerlifting?
Not only do you need to be on steroids to be COMPETITIVE in oly lifting, but you need to spend hours and hours practicing form with just the bar like a pussy. Olympic Lifting is such a joke that four top lifters are getting BUSTED because they were forced to hop on juice to stay conpetitive LOL.
On the other hand, powerlifting is a display of raw strength and power instead of oly lifting faggy athletic movements. On top of this the exercises are easier to learn and you don't need to hire a $1000 a month coach to show you how to just perform the movements with the bar. AND ON TOP OF THAT you don't need to take steroids to be competitive.
Your move, olyboos, prove me wrong cuhcks.

You do need to be on gear to be competitive in high levels of powerlifting just like high levels of oly lifting
you don't have to be on gear for local meets for either so its the same there
plus its more fun to do huge movements with massive amounts of weight rather than 3 movements with minimal rom
first for memes
>>37421868
>local meets
>implying thar matters
I bet you think the only thing that matters is getting new personal PRs on competition instead of actually winning you complete beta
>>37421937
if local meets don't matter then you need to be on PEDs either way to be competitive
>>37421949
>being this delusional
Not in the nonshit feds
>>37421845
Powerlifting is the most autistic strength sport by far
Strongman>Weightlifting>>>>>>Powerlifting
>>37421991
oh yeah the feds that are just like the olympics where they get tested
that must mean they are all natty
>>37422071
You don't need to juice to be competitive shit for brains
>>37421845
WOW, literally the most retarded thing i ever saw on /fit/
>>>/pol/ as if it didn't need to be said.
>>37422506
then why do you need to juice to be a weightlifter? You said yourself it's technique based, not raw strength. But I say if you want raw strength and power then be a strongman. Can't cheat a loglift or a stone carry
>>37422049
strongman is pretty based
>>37422663
It's just so much more fun than the others
Powerlifting has some really impressive feats of strength but it just doesn't compare to a head-to-head Atlas Stone finish or pulling a C-130
>>37421845
olympic lifters are legitimate athletes.
powerlifters are fatass hobbyists
>"powerlifting"
>having anything to do with "power"
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)
>In physics, power is the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time.
Powerlifters are, ironically, some of the least powerful "athletes" in all of strength sports.
>>37421868
>high competitive level of powerlifting
>not on gear
pick one
>>37422758
Fucking this
Never seen any powerlifters make a 40" vertical jump. Powerlifting is a fucking joke.
>>37422506
Yes you do
>>37421845
>you don't need to take steroids to be competitive in powerlifting
You can't be srs.
>>37422769
>you
>reading comprehension
pick one
legit power

It's not fucking oly lifting it's weightlifting you idiots.
Oly lifting is what they do because they're in the OLYMPICS, not because of the lifts performed
>>37422788
>60" box jump.webm
Stop living vicariously anon. What do YOU do?
>>37422799
>le all top lifters are on gear meme
Quiet child
>>37422827
>Quiet child
actually, this
People have qualified for WSM natty
You are a tremendous faggot if you do anything but Strongman.
Powerlifting to Olympic weightlifting is like the WCW to Olympic wrestling. Olympic weightlifting actually requires athleticism, flexibility, mobility, technique and strength. Powerlifting doesn't care about any of this shit which is why it's shit.
>>37422870
not going that far, but it is the best strength sport
Balances strength and athleticism perfectly IMO, you have a genuine variety of body types and skill sets that can be successful
>>37422827
I thought tripfags are supposed to be somewhat knowledgeable on the sports they participate in. You honestly think the top powerlifters aren't on gear? You can't be serious. You should probably delete that comment before you lose all the credibility you've never had
>>37422966
he can't even squat to depth
tripfags are fucking retarded desu
They don't want to be fat fucks.
>>37422827
>boardshorts out of all people talking about steroids in PL
I agree with you but FUCKING KEK
Only lifting is hardest to get into and requires lots of repetition of the same 3 movements at lighter weights.
Power lifting is easier to get into and requires lots of repetition of the same 3 movements.
Strongman is harder to get into, but you get to do it outside in the sun and do a wide variety of events.
From my expirence strongmen are the friendliest of the bunch. Maybe because we are the least popular, can't be dicks to each other or noobs.
>>37422966
Natty until proven fraud. Didn't a bunch of oly chinamen just fail a bunch of drug tests?
The top competitors from first world countries are probably natty in PL.
>>37422976
You're just anon
As far as I can tell,you don't even lift
>>37422988
Lmao fucking twink go back to /fa/
>>37423501
for the first half of that webm I though that was a woman
>>37423158
Strongman, like geared powerlifting, also practically demands that you train with a crew. That tends to weed out the worst of the arseholes unless they're running the gym.
Tbh I like PL because it's so accessible. You can train it at pretty much any gym with a barbell and the technique isn't nearly as complex. It's also bigger than weightlifting in most of Western Europe and North America, so the meets aren't as empty.
As an amateur PL is perfect because it doesn't require the same commitment as WL does to reach a similar level.
>>37423841
this guy is right
Where I live is almost impossible to find a WL gym or coaches. While you can train PL almost anywhere and by yourself.
Sure WL is better, but PL has no deadline (in WL you peak around 25yo after training 15 years). You can be 60 and still doing PL meets as a senior.
