well since I'm the one asking you guys for info don't expect me to know what the fuck I'm talking about
this is what made me curious though:
>The roots of powerlifting are in traditions of strength training stretching back as far as Greek and Roman times.
so, there you go. okay I should have said "strength training".

no need to justify youself OP this is a good thread, but people is too retarded to get into it (myself included)
There's Milo of Croton:
Just how badass was Milo of Croton? During his childhood (or so goes one legend), the future Olympian wrestler owned a young calf he used to lift onto his shoulders and carry around for a spell. Milo is said to have done this every single day: as it got bigger, he grew stronger. Four years later, Milo could be seen wandering around with this fully grown pet bull resting on his manly shoulders.
