Is powerlifting "Hard?"

[Scotsman]

Bullshit. Bodybuilders work just as hard as powerlifters.

I was refering to the actual day of competition if you care to look at the syntax I used. I never said that training wasn't as intense.

Maybe you're right about that then. Still, when they go on stage most of them are starving and dehydrated. Probably not all that much fun. Whatever I don't care. Football's harder than both.

Football is also better compensated...

Not the team I coach....damn semi-pro.

For the record, I came into my last powerlifting comp dehydrated, starving, and pissing blood. I didn't even get to wear a bikini to flaunt my ribs and self-digesting stomach.

...of course, it wasn't because it was necessary, but because I was a dumb ass.

Oh, and many smart BBers carb load before hitting the stage to plump their muscles back up so they still look dry but not flat.
