why are the people on the powerlifting board small and putup lot of weight

[Hannibal]

but back on point this is why i dont really care for sports or competions. (note im not against people who use roids even though im natural). the reason i think sports and strength competitons have gone to shit is now a days drugs are the main thing that is doing the work in sports and competions. and im not whining cause i cant bench 500. for it to be a real competion to test man versus man it should be all natural competions with out any help from drugs or suits that would get my respect. lets think about it johnny joe benches 500 and has decent bench shirt and billy willy benches 600 but his bench shirt has much more technology in it and he has better wrists wraps and hes taking more shots of testorone then johnny joe. so billy willy wins cause he has better "help" then johnny joe.

Ok...the more you try to validate your point the more you reveal your ignorance. In your poor attempt at an analogy...johnny joe and billy willy BOTH have access to the same "magic shirt" store. So if johnny joe doesnt have as good a shirt as billy willy it is his own fault. THE SHIRT DOES NOT DO THE WORK FOR YOU. It does change the dynamics of the lift...but you still have to WORK!

If you have never had a bench shirt on....then how do you know what they do?? How can you talk about something that you obviously know nothing about?? When I lift I will wear everything that the federation allows....as I would expect all of my competitors to do. And I don't give a fuck if you respect me or not...

Hannibal

what are your three lifts?

My three lifts are in progress....

Competing in Dec and I plan to:
Squat 650-700
Bench 450+
DL 600

Of course that bench is pretty much ALL SHIRT. I can do about 135 raw...but by December my super-duper,hydraulic,spring loaded, triple kevlar shirt should be in....so I should get about 300lbs of help out of that...considering I spent $2K on it...I better..or I will sue for false advertisement.

I think this little pissing contest is over

thats moveing some weight, and no I do not believe NCputz could ever do half these lifts

 

[Code]

I'm only 5'5", 185 pounds and on heavy days I rep 3x4 doing 305.

I don't know if that's good, but I know the dudes I train with, who are taller can't do it. But they are wimps

This was never meant to be a pissing contest. I have not competed yet...so those numbers are speculative. But I know thats what I will do when I hit the platform. Didn't post them as a means to brag...in the powerlifting world I will be humbled.

And to be honest I do see where he is going with his point...about there never being a level playing field. But the way he is presenting it is offensive. And the fact that he is speaking about things that he does not have first hand experience with is ignorant.

There may not be such a thing as a level playing field anymore. But should one use that as an excuse to sit and home and never compete. Competition in an individual sport such as powerlifting or bodybuilding is all about surpassing your previous limits. As weak as it sounds...its about being the best you can be. In the truest form of competition you are only competing with yourself.

Okay, you lost me here...are you saying this because he's not lean? Do you need to see a picture of Hannibal and I side by side to figure this one out? He outweighs me by 50 lbs, and has been strength training for a long time. Is it all that unreasonable to think that his bench can be roughly double mine?

Wrist wraps give you support, I could take or leave the elbow wraps. And on most of our training days, he's not benching shirted.

If you really think it's that big a deal to bench with a shirt, order one. Get it to fit right, learn to use it, then come back and tell me that it's magic.

You figured me out...you're too smart for me. I would invite you to come train with us...so you could see my equipment in action, but unfortunately there are no mirrors in my gym....

you're not worth it....
