Weightlifting to Powerlifting

why calisthenics tho

It means I’m interested in strongman implements and a few oddlifts. Every strength sport implies strength training, even calisthenics/street workout.

The snatch and clean and jerk require far more skill than SBD, so the answer is obvious

>Weightlifting to Powerlifting
It's not even close. One requires balance and athleticism, the other requires just stuffing your fat face with food and wearing as much equipment as you can afford

I don't know who that faggot is on the OP but if he can't beat a Westside Barbell boy in Squats then he isnt strong.

Sure bouncing plates looks cool but Powerlifting is about true RAW strength

front squat 6 plate, back squat 7+ plates at 83 kg bodyweight. Note that these squats are actual squats, i.e. full ROM atg compared to above parallel westside squats
pyrros dimas is the goat

and I looked his PRs up:
Front squat 280 kg
Back squat, high bar atg 330 kg
gg no re

>Powerlifting is about true RAW strength
>now please excuse me, while I put on my squat suits, straps, knee sleeves, knee wraps, elbow sleeves, chalk, bench suit, and cheeseburger with fries

Weightlifting to powerlifting.

A majority of weightlifters you'll meet are still weak, arrogant fucks.

lol pulling stats of your ass

show me a vid of him performing said lifts

RAW + belt, knee sleeves, squat suit, bench shirt, 40 kinds of special lift specific bars, liberal steroid use, stuffing your shirt, half-repping

you know theres such a thing as raw powerlifting right? besides you're going to defend an OLYMPIAN over steroids? lol

This guy competes at 77kg.
Keep thinking that a bastardized version of weightlifting is the superior choice. It’s so typical of americans.

>americans

I'm canadian pal

>implying you’re any less ignorant

Jesus christ, top level powerlifters admit themselves that Olympic Weightlifting is respectable but powerlifting fans are retarded

I can't figure out how the fuck he has his elbows bent like this. Did he died?

Arent all powerlifting “fans” just powerlifters themselves? Literally who wants to watch someone squat as a “sport”? At least olympic weightlifting can be exciting.

True, powerlifting has more practitioners because its more accessible, thats the one good thing I think I can say it has over weightlifting

Did you guys move to another continent?

Dumb shit, we have more in common with France and the UK than we do with USA

>Powerlifting is the special olympics of strength sports.

It actually is in the special olympics but not in the regular olympics kek

Also looking forward to this. Want to hear the perspective of someone who does strongman but not to compete. Honestly it seems like the most based weightlifting sport. I want to do it but I’m a dyel right now so I’m just doing basic weightlifting. Wish Jow Forums had a /strongman/ thread

Lel this

After a year or so, dedicate 1 day for strongman implements and start light. As time goes by do more and more. I find them very useful for conditioning. I’m doing a lot of sandbag carry and farmer’s walk right now. Some actual log lifts every now and then. Now that I have a welding machine I want to make a strongman log and an axle and I’m looking for a cheap atlas stone but where I live it seems impossible to find one. And yeah, you’re right. A strongman general would be great.
