Why are powerlifters so fat?

they eat more often and have high calorie intake and some don't even do cardio

>fat

>fat

>sumo

Shouldn't even count

who's castillo?

>IPF WR SQUAT
>implying

Look him up on goodli.... fuck.

No professional powerlifter has ever outlifted a professional weightlifter? Powerlifting is literally the biggest meme sport of the decade
>muh functional strength
>muh strength
The only thing girls in real life care about are aesthetics, and pretty much all weightlifters are super ripped

Considering there's no such thing as a professional powerlifter, that isn't surprising.

Benedikt Magnusson makes a lot of money the last time i checked

Not from powerlifting events.

He deadlifts and squats so he's a powerlifter

yes because girls are the only reason anybody does anything

cool projecting tho user i'm sure you live a fulfilling life

Power lifting is in the olympics though..

Lmao only the Paralympics

Are you not supposed to loosen it immediately or something?

Why are weightlifters?

When you're in the top weight class, you won't fucking care.

Why do newbie power lifters always take the bait?

>functional strength
Literally no power lifter talks about functional strength you stupid fuck
>weightlifting
lmao, completely full of roided up manlets

>benedikt magnusson is a powerlifter
Kill yourself

On top of your weightclass, bottom of the rankings

Lel, the guy to the left looks like a fat Paul McCartney

Fuck, I ment to the right

Respect Matthias Steiner, he's a gold medalist.

What I always wondered, is if a powerlifter hit a world record in squat, then slowly lost fat, wouldn't they be able to add the weight of fat they lost to the bar, as their legs and back are lifting less weight as they lose fat?

then eat clean

Are you the sort of guy who wants to lift weights but doesn't want to too bulky? Like it happens overnight with no effort and you have no control over what happens.

So should lu xiaojun be 2% body fat instead of 7% body fat when he snatches 176kg?

no because if a powerlifter lost 20kg their strength would half.

nah get out of it, it's no where near that significant. plus if they did it slowly, like half a pound a week, they'd hardly notice strength loss, right?

This is what happens when you spend too much time on Veeky Forums and take everything seriously. The memes have literally eaten your brain out.

sorry to break it to you but it doesn't work like that. Why don't fat powerlifters just cut? They have more muscle than bodybuilders. They lose strength, recovery efficiency, and most importantly, weight distribution which helps them throw around weight and anchor them to the floor, centre of mass, etc. Not to mention cushioning, getting away with shitty range of motion. Yeah, sumo lifters can be lean, they lift the bar 2 inches off the ground. Heavy squatters are almost always fat fucks though. Powerlifting is a joke.

>powerlifters
not even once lol

>average powerlifter
>guy is not a powerlifter

top kek

Most people just want abs. Its such an quick goal to achieve. Literally 3-4 months of p90x is all you need to do for most and then its easy breezy dieting for maintenance.

Theres no speeding up powerlifting naturally. Its all long term and consistency.

Might as well disregard diet until you're satisfied with lifts. This process is easy 5-7 years for most.

>asian

...

I had a picture of a strongman who was a dead ringer for Elton John. Can't find it.

There's only ONE (1) powerlifter in these pictures.

Guess who it is.

NO WAIT I FOUND IT

>>Might as well disregard diet until you're satisfied with lifts. This process is easy 5-7 years for most.
>Being satisfied with your lifts
>Ever

...

9/10 I replied

hahahahaha

Eddie Hall isn't really the best example. He munches on snickers and doesn't really follow a proper diet. He eats whatever he feels likew.

I just googled it and Klokov is actually 6'0".
Lanklets+manlets BTFO.

Optimal male height wins again.

damn, im no sumo hater but this nigga barely moved the bar LOL

i seriously can't tell if you fuckers are baiting or not. the only fat powerlifters are the ones in the heavyweight classes, stop fucking cherrypicking.

i can say the same shit about weightlifters if i cherry pick too

>competes in the squat/bench/deadlift
>is not a power lifter

youtu.be/nLVJTBZtiuw

Only people that compete in the IPF are competing in powerlifting, by definition, thus are the only powerlifters.

The person on the left in the OP is the powerlifter. T

>this fucker claims natty and gets away with it in a tested fed

fuck this world

Nice kek. Never even thought it could be presented like that

He doesn't claim natty. He doesn't comment on it.

He does compete in a tested fed, which is even worse than simply saying it.

Is that Elton john?

...

not sure if this image is turbo bait or the author was just this retarded

...

Lack of discipline.

this, sumo is disgusting

he dropped all his fat when he ended his lifting career.

>Fat

see? nobody cares about ipf outside of plg

What happened to Mong? Haven't seen him shit-posting in a good while.

Strongman master race

That just makes you wonder how good is Brett Gibbs steroid cycle/coach/training.

He already surpassed Castillo's total, a multiple times world champion and known steroid user. Also, Castillo has been competing since 2008

lolfeds

it's not their fault that they were born half the size of a normal man
