Crossing the line.....

Right now I have no need for BB, I have alot of respect for bodybuilders, and their discipline. But the real reason I started to lift is to be stronger and bigger. There comes a point in time where looks mean almost nothing, versus the ability to defend ones self and others. I like functional strength, and being pound for pound stronger than others. You don't need to be fat as (BPB) said, that is outside of the gym, it comes down to looks vs strength.......

P.S. if you can't defend yourself sometimes your looks get smash in, and your face looks like dog food.

Powerlifters outside the super heavy weight class are not fat. Go to a meet sometime

Why do BB's think

you have to be fat to PL. I powerlift after doing BB for years. Training is much more satisfying and my size continues to go up without doing countless stupid excercises for "shape". I still look great and am much stronger. Win, win.
