What were your lifts the very first time you ever stepped foot in a gym?

Because powerlifting is retarded. Try at least 6 months of a normal bodybuilder brosplit like Arnie and you'll see what a meme powerlifting is. I mean, in my case, I bodybuild brosplit 6 days a week, and I lift just as much as the "powerlifters" at my uni. Going to the gym and deadlifting super heavy weight for 5 reps then sitting on phone for 20 minutes is not a workout!!!!

A lot of it was fat, mind you. I was around 175lbs 2 months ago but so much of it was fat. Been cutting since then and down to 165, still with bitch tits and bitch love handles.

Upper body wise I haven't grown much in the past 6 months or so because I pretty much never do hypertrophy work. Legs have fucking ballooned though from all the squats and deadlifts.

If I were to continue to cut into low teen percents of body fat, Id probably be in the mid to low 150s. After I lose some more fat I'll do a lean bulk this time around and switch to a strength-based routine that has much hypertrophy work, if it exists.

Don't dirty bulk, friendo. Shits not worth it. You'll make gains, but you'll have to cut like a motherfucker and lose some of those precious gains

>deadlifting super heavy weight for 5 reps then sitting on phone for 20 minutes

that's not powerlifting

Very much considering this. I fee like I should have stuck with hypertrophy for at least 1-2 years before trying to get into PL. after that time, switching to PL with a decent amount of muscle would make PL style training so much nicer.

I fell for the
>MUH STRENGTH BASE
meme. Fucking hell. I can't wait to finish this retarded ass cut so I can finally get to do hypertrophy and look good in clothes

What's the point of powerlifting? Honestly

It's fun to put lots of weight on the bar and PL meets are hype and fun as fuck.

Tell me, how often do you load 4 plates on the bar, for any lift?

I love it but fuck do I need a better physique.

>tfw you get so absorbed in increasing your PL total that you wake up one day and realize you are t-rex
I guess at least I get a crowd of pajeets clapping at me whenever I do diddlies

>5'7 65kg
>like 16
>30kg bench for 5
>80kg squat for 3
>100kg dead for 5
Now- 18 5'10 83kg
Bench 110 for 5
Squat 150 for 5
Dead 175 for 5

It's worth it brah

At least switching to an upper body-focused hypertrophy routine will feel like a nice and easy break from exceptionally heavy squats and deads

I'm full blown shit-skeleton, so I have like 2% body fat... I still want to make 150 lbs so I can be something other than dying african body type though. Noted on the dirty bulking too, although I'm not sure if I'm even capable of retaining any fat to begin with.

My spines full of metal and shit so I don't push lower compounds as hard as upper. Even then, I spend more time doing ohp than anything else.

Wife/family tell me I'm huge but I saw myself shirtless in a photo and I've got moobs so I just now started trying to lose weight.

Skwaat: 295
Diddly:365
bench:135 x 10
ohp:115 x 6
