bodybuilder vs. powerlifter

[DBCooper]

Not sure I'll see Monday. lol I think that's a new fetish to be logged also. He's a little serious tho so he might not have seen it.

 

[spatts]

Well, liftbig thought he'd get a kick out of it...

 

[DBCooper]

HAHAHAHAHAH, that's pretty good, lmfao.

I'm glad this didn't turn into a powerlifter/bodybuilder pissing contest, lol.

It's all basically the same shit anyway. Show me a bodybuilder who doesn't train heavy with intensity, and a powerlifter who doesn't worry about his diet, and I'll show you two guys who will never win anything.


To the starter of this thread, I'm a powerlifter and yes I do work my biceps. You gotta have the guns, no matter what sport you compete in.

 

[spatts]

Unfortunately I don't know alot of bodybuilders that train heavy, or powerlifters that care about diet....beyond force feeding.


I'm going to have to disagree on plers that don't watch their diet not getting anywhere. DBC, what portion of a rat's ass do you think Lou or Chuck (or any of the guys you train with) give about diet?

 

[DBCooper]

Actually Chuck always has a 6-pack, he keeps lean to stay 220, Louie is keeping his sorta strict to be at 220 again so that's off. Now me on the other hand, I need to eat more consistant with less beer imo. Them and J. Stafford are the only ones that really watch what they eat(x bb ). Everyone else is a free for all unless dropping weight. Amy does sometimes to keep a low bdywt, that's usually the only reason anyone watches it.

What has happened to Anthony Clark these days?

Well, you may be right. But for me personally, I know that I make much better gains when I'm making sure that I'm getting enough protein, and overall calories. At least, that's how I account for the 120 lbs. I put on in the last 5 years (195-317).


If you can make gains just eating whatever you want, more power to you. I wish I was the same way. I'd certainly save money on groceries.

 

[spatts]

Slob, I watch what I eat meticulously. I am the weird one, though. When I order chicken, baked potato no toppping, and a side of green beans, I get taunted: "Pshhh...bodybuilder "

 

[DBCooper]

If you eat enough of EVERYTHING you don't worry about not enough protein or carbs, and Spatts that's ok if your a picky eater you have a big deadlift-that makes uo for it.
