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.
Bar is best bae

OP pic made me thinkyou meant literally the opposite of what you intended. Who would like to be such a fat faggot?
>>37525942
Just look into /owg/, every one is a weak twink.
/plg/ at least has strong trips
>>37525942

Happy, atractive, pussy magnet

Fat, depressed, probably impotent

Oly lifting:
- True sport
- You need to be an actual athelete
- Your form needs to be on point
Powerlifting:
- Cheating ROM
- Full of fatasses on roids
- No proper judging on form
>>37525942
Didnt you answer your question by yourself with that pic?
Powerlifting is for fatties that are too useless/dumb to do activities that require any sort of skill but they still wanna do some sort of "Sport"

Plg is more popular so obviously it has more
The average anon in plg isn't even squatting double bw which our twinky olyboi can do for a double

This

Do you think that real athletes spend their time in 4chan? They do it because its a sport and they love it, not because they are insecure and want some muscles and strength to compensate, ending up in PLG to make it a hobby
Don't compare PL and WL. You don't have to be athletic to be a powerlifter, but for weightlifting it really matters what your sports history looks like, how explosive and flexible you are, and how you can adapt motor patterns. There's a reason you spend lots of time doing something else than just raw strength training, and that's why you don't compare these

both sports have their share of fatasses and mediocre lifters. just doing cleans and snatches doesn't mean you have anything in common with a klokov or dimas. you're still just an unathetlic nerd on 4chan lifting babby weights.
>>37525942
Nice b8 m8, I r8 8/8.
I lift oly, and I think powerlifting is fine. Only sometimes some lifts are doing with horrible ROM-cheating form, bventually they'll find better ways to regulate form/rules for the lifts, just like oly took decades and decades to do.
>>37528460
There are many real athletes who spend their time on 4chan. Bodorio is an example.
>>37525942
Powerlifting is oly lifting for people with bad genetics.

Nope.

all powerlifters do this shit though

That's a woman though. Women's classes are literally shit no one cares about.
>>37530129
So are men's, you're just in denial.
>>37530065
She set a total record? Don't think so.
Can you figure out why?
>>37530338
because you're a faggot?
>>37530129
It's a man.

It's a man and actually he did.

Lol holy shit the butthurt in this post.
Also, black people have almost no presence in oly.
>>37525942
Why not just do a bit of both and meet halfway. Be strong and p good looking.
Non competitive idiots hurling shit is whats happening around this thread
weightlifting is a sport for athletes
powerlifting is a hobby for pretend athletes, retirees and fatasses

Hello, can you read? TOTAL record.
You fuckers never get that powerlifting is about THREE lifts, and while your genetic proportions might make for ridiculous bench presses, they FUCK you up in the deadlift and thus your TOTAL sucks.
How is that so hard to understand?
>>37526010
bait thread
oly is better. there's rules of course, but and the end of it you have to lock the bar out over your head. powerlifters invent a variety of ways to cheat.
arcing the back into a rainbow on bench to decrease ROM
sumo deadlifts
wide stance squats only to parallel

It's called weightlifting, WL for short.
>>37531135
Who CARES about TOTALS when no one even MENTIONED them?
YOU spend years of TIME and EFFORT getting a 400kg TOTAL which gets you NO attention while CHAD got a 3 plate BENCH when he was 18 and tells PRIME TEEN BITCHES about it to this day while they MIRE his FACE, FRAME, and HEIGHT.

Only power lifters are insecure enough to make threads like this. Why would I want to be an insecure power lifter like OP?
/thread
I would only really discuss the ipf athletes (raw) and like top end super heavies like Malanichev, Greene, Sumner, Williams ext ext. other than those people powerlifting is a joke. Fat unhealthy goofs who look like shit.
