oly lifters are superior

2017-04-01 14:44:49 UTC  

yes but they are strong

2017-04-01 14:44:57 UTC  

strenght is meassured by how much you can lift

2017-04-01 14:44:58 UTC  

strong in an incredibly useless way

2017-04-01 14:45:07 UTC  

or pull

2017-04-01 14:45:08 UTC  

or push

2017-04-01 14:45:13 UTC  

oly lifters regularly put double bodyweight overhead yet are ripped

2017-04-01 14:45:19 UTC  

so whatever powerlifters are doing, they are doing it wrong

2017-04-01 14:45:32 UTC  

power lifters haul trucks

2017-04-01 14:45:53 UTC  

if you eat little

2017-04-01 14:46:06 UTC  

dont push your mass weight on when lifting

2017-04-01 14:46:17 UTC  

you will simply stop making progress after 2 months

2017-04-01 14:46:37 UTC  

or even downgrade

2017-04-01 14:47:07 UTC  

if you didnt eat well or had a snack prior to lets say, 5-3-1 deadlift

2017-04-01 14:47:14 UTC  

550 lb guy with cellulite on his knees benches 1.5x BW

2017-04-01 14:47:15 UTC  

you will even run short of breath and get dizzy

2017-04-01 14:47:49 UTC  

guy puts 440 lb overhead while ripped to shreds, striations everywhere, doesn't even make it look hard

2017-04-01 14:48:04 UTC  

it's just obvious powerlifting is inferior to oly

2017-04-01 14:48:09 UTC  

yes but they lift it once

2017-04-01 14:48:16 UTC  

so do powerlifters

2017-04-01 14:48:28 UTC  

that guy could throw a grown man through the ceiling

2017-04-01 14:48:38 UTC  

even a guy who weighed 30 lbs more than him

2017-04-01 14:48:40 UTC  

Exilarch

2017-04-01 14:48:47 UTC  

you are comparing a guy doing bench press

2017-04-01 14:48:54 UTC  

with a guy lifting a weight of the floor

2017-04-01 14:49:04 UTC  

so?

2017-04-01 14:49:09 UTC  

I could find both of them deadlifting, but the point is the same

2017-04-01 14:49:13 UTC  

so the point of these disciplines are entirely different

2017-04-01 14:49:19 UTC  

lu xiaojun is a superior human

2017-04-01 14:49:38 UTC  

powerlifting = perform sets of compound lifts focusing on raw weight

2017-04-01 14:50:00 UTC  

powerlifting is not done in sets, it is done in singles

2017-04-01 14:50:06 UTC  

what this asian dude did = perform an overhead lift, while raising the barbell of the floor

2017-04-01 14:50:12 UTC  

3 attempts, then a 4th that as far as Iknow is not counted

2017-04-01 14:50:34 UTC  

that is the sport of powerlifting

2017-04-01 14:50:39 UTC  

so he uses a specific technique to lift the barbell

2017-04-01 14:50:42 UTC  

of the floor

2017-04-01 14:50:49 UTC  

power lifting is simply a standard lift

2017-04-01 14:51:21 UTC  

however

2017-04-01 14:51:23 UTC  

my point is
