Just wondering but why are powerlifters so big and massive and fat? i understand the big and massive part but why so fat? are they on a constant bulk?

I thought that the point of lifting weights is to look good.

You thought wrong.
The point of lifting weights is to lift weights. If you wanna look good, why not try looking good?

Only the superheavyweights don't care about being fat because it's easier to keep gaining mass than cutting and bulking.

Look at any capped weight class and the guys are fucking cut.

Fat also provides support for your muscles

Like the left guy even has visible abs couldnt you find a pic with 2 fat powerlifters on 1 pic for your troll thread

Fat functions as an organ. You don't need a lot to survive or even thrive, but when you're pushing yourself to those extremes you need that fat. Metabolically, it's a lot easier to support extreme muscle mass when you have plenty of fat also.
