RageFuel I hate the Power-Lifting community nowadays

[janoycresva]

Even 3 years ago, nobody was really into power lifting, it was mostly a sub-culture of the lifting world in the states. Most of the people power lifting were right wing men. Today, however, it has gotten extremely popular and has become infected with liberal Asians. I see power lifters everyday in my University gym, usually they're leftist normies. Back in the day, it was rare to see someone pulling 500lbs for reps, now it's common. Back in the day, Westside Barbell backyard meets were the shit, everybody would get together, smoke meth, have a BBQ, listen to metal, and talk about far right shit (now, you can't say anything that doesn't concede to the liberal agenda without being alienated by the entire USAPL community). I don't think I'm ever going to compete again unless it's Equipped Powerlifting because that's more eccentric today.

Anyways, I have started Olympic Weightlifting, the cross fit community is infected by leftists too but at least Weight Lifting specifically, is still not popular at all in the US. I'm just gonna have to stop all of this anyways soon and start training for the USMC PFT, at least everyone there will be right wing.

That's why I don't go to gyms anymore, I rather lift weights alone

Why lift for strength when you can lift for muscle size?

This is what power lifting will do to you.

Yep TBH, PLing is the ultimate incel cope.

In the real world, people avoid heavy lifting and manual labour as it's proven to be bad for your health. Yet these retards do it as a hobby whilst sitting behind a desk all day long, all so they can feel 'strong'--but only in a very narrow definition of the word.

^ Typical short, fat, narrow-shouldered, big-headed, goatee-sporting PLing advocate.

It is. I train shitty and is still newbie myself.

The best training is the one that motivates you and make you want to sustain it imo. Rest and diet is more important.
You can get big with most forms of training, just look at the calisthenicsists and gymnasts. Since discovering gymcelling my life has turned around. Feel your own power.

yeah i wouldn't say it's healthy lol, there are benefits to lifting though, just as you said; probably not to a 1RM.
gotta get those FAHHVVEEE by FAHHHVES in tho, make sure to use HIP DRAHHHVEE. Ripp and GOMAD style

I concur, rest is overrated though IMO, especially in the lifting world tbh

you're probably right about that, GOMAD so you get severe acne and then later scars. Too many squats so your ass grows disproportionate to the rest of your body.
Chad just does bro splits and looks jacked + tan.

I was into PLing about a decade ago; thought I had real, functional strength, as opposed to roided, pretty-boy, fake, machine-built muscle. I ended up a fat cunt with a nuked back (took me a year to recover from fully) and also got laid out by a non-lifting manlet boxer during a sparring session.

you're not even strong if you're fat. the fat is lifting the muscle through leverages. that's straight up cheating. it's like wearing a bench shirt.

The sad thing is that this is the physique of a man who was rumoured to have used steriods.

Getting stronger means getting bigger, lul at “muhh hypetrophyyyy”

Seem's like a common misconception, most of the time, you got stronger because you got bigger. Hypertrophy is the main driving force of strength. This is why powerlifters and weightlifters go through hypertrophy blocks before they enter into strength blocks. Obviously if you never run strength blocks, you won't be very efficient in hitting max-effort weight at a low number of reps.

Bullshit, if you progress in weight your body will build the necessary muscle to life that weight. This is basic progression for novices btw. Take a look at Eric Bugenhagen he is big because he is strong. End of.

The game has been upped. Basically every guy is expected to be in great shape or do some sort of fitness activity for IG.

That's because as a novice, your maximum recoverable volume is so low that any amount of work will have you growing muscle but it's that muscle that will allow for strength progress. Not the other way around. You said it yourself, "if you progress in weight, you body will build the necessary muscle to lift that weight", so you're saying that a certain amount of muscle is necessary to lift a weight before one is able to lift that weight. Now, we can look at which training method will build more muscle, say we have someone do 3*10 (sets * reps) and another person do 10*3. The person doing 10*3 will get stronger but the person doing 3*10 will gain more muscle. Brad Schoenfeld has done a peer reviewed study proving this.

5*5 really isn't the most ideal program for novices, novices should focus on gaining the most muscle possible before running a strength block. This is why Chad Wesley Smith and Dr. Mike Israetel prescribe beginners programs where, for example, say in a 6 week training cycle, 3-4 of those weeks would be dedicated to hypertrophy (where the reps are 6-12 @ 60%-80% of your 1RM) and the last 2 would be dedicated to strength/peaking. As a powerlifter gets more advanced, the hypertrophy block would only be 1 week because it's harder to build muscle as you become more advanced.

If you're solely looking to get bigger, you really don't need to be training for strength, you should be getting better at doing reps within the 6-15 range.

Eric would be bigger if he stopped doing one rep maxes. That dude really annoys me though, srs. He's gotta stop with that whole "it's a mindset" bullshit, gonna get people hurt that way. Lifting weights is also a leisure activity, there's nothing intense about it. JFL at screaming like a maniac after every set.

Gyms and trainers realised there was a huge untapped market of foids and cucks so they opened up to make sweet $$$

That’s the explanation

Foids are too retarded to realise they can’t build muscle because they don’t have enough testosterone. But like the robots they are, they continue going to the gym every day to deadlift 10kg in their stupid yoga pants, then spend $20 on a retarded milkshake with 5g vegan soy protein in it and think they’re “strong teehee”.

Training suboptimal just means you'll have to train for longer to get same strength/size. But if you are doing a optimal program burns you out and make you hate the gym after six month where a suboptimal still makes you wish you had more time to train after years and you still burn to do your best the suboptimal still gets you both bigger and stronger. Arguing about styles is useless since different things work for different people. Even if there is a physiological optimal style it might not be psychologically optimal. Remember to read the programs drop-out rate in the papers as well.
