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.
>prove me wrong cuhcks. OP pic made me thinkyou meant literally the opposite of what you intended. Who would like to be such a fat faggot?

Just look into /owg/, every one is a weak twink.
/plg/ at least has strong trips
Michael King
>the one on the left Happy, atractive, pussy magnet >the one on the right Fat, depressed, probably impotent
Liam Bennett
>world's top powerlifters are natty Kek

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
Aiden Morris
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 user in plg isn't even squatting double bw which our twinky olyboi can do for a double

Do you think that real athletes spend their time in Veeky Forums? 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 Veeky Forums lifting babby weights.

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.
Hunter Jackson
There are many real athletes who spend their time on Veeky Forums. Bodorio is an example.
Wyatt Hall
Powerlifting is oly lifting for people with bad genetics.
Bentley Lopez
>technical mastery
Chase Diaz
Did he win anything? Nope.
Can you figure out why?
Cameron Diaz
>Did he win anything?
this did
Nicholas Cruz
all powerlifters do this shit though
Parker Carter
That's a woman though. Women's classes are literally shit no one cares about.
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?

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.

Who CARES about TOTALS when no one even MENTIONED them?
John Fisher
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?

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.
