Why do people do this to themselves?
Why do people do this to themselves?
It's not like people who are aesthetic ubermensches are 'deciding' do turn into gorillas. Powerlifters are people who have taken this path because it's the only one open to them in the world of lifting.
Because they aren't posers who spend all their time muzzing at music festivals?

Because all of those people are 183cm + genetic dead ends that HAVE to be a superheavyweight to be competitive.
if you're a proper height between 5'9 and 6'0, you can be lean and athletic while being strong and competitive as fuck
for anyone who might be turned off powerlifting because of this post - you don't have to be obese to participate in powerlifting, there's weight categories
And the most popular are around 200lbs, which is overweight or obese for 99% of men
powerlifting is about strength not aesthetics
>genetic dead ends
that could literally rape you and you wouldnt be able to do anything about it

You don't compete in a weight class because it's popular, dumbfuck.
Lü Xiaojun isn't going to suddenly bulk up to 200+ pounds because the 105 kg category is popular.
Likewise in powerlifting, you compete in the class you are best at.
