Why is the meme of "all powerlifters are fat and slow" perpetuated so much...

>head and torso identical size

midget manlet detected?

I do have a big head, I am 5'8". Shouldve seen me before I lifted man my head looked even more ridiculous lol.
I shower often.

I know Russel. Nigger is roiding like crazy.

But Russel also does a bodybuilding routine on the side. He did a bodybuilding show. You can't really say he's strictly a powerlifter. Just like Ronnie Coleman who started off as a powerlifter, and later did bodybuilding, you can say Russel is a blend between the two. He called himself a "PowerBuilder" at one point.

>I know Russel. Nigger is roiding like crazy

details?

That guy is not really a powerlifter despite being elite, he started off as a football player, and then a bodybuilder, his training up until now was bodybuilding oriented, he did a literal brosplit even for most of the period he's been "powerlifting".
That's why he looks good, oh yeah that and steroids and great genetics.

yeah ok, he's not been a "powerlifter" his whole life yet he won USAPL nationals. The argument was that not all powerlifters are fat.

true, but he hasn't trained like a powerlifter up until now, and even now he does bodybuilding centered workouts.
Even when he was competing first in the USAPL he was still doing brosplits.

but you need to be on gear to be a cut power lifter.

So if you dont train bro-splits you become a fat fuck Lilliebridge cuck automatically?

I did a lot of high weight and low rep powerlifting exercises and I can confirm. Mostly did 5x5 squats,bench and OHP but not diddy. Came back to play rugby and I was slow as fuck. My feet would also be in constant pain because they weren't used to the new weight. People said I look pretty THICC though so that's good. Gonna do the same next summer as well

check how the lilliebridge train, they use a bro-like split pretty much.
They train upper body once a week, and lower body twice a week(on consecutive days though)
So it's very low frequency, with each muscle group getting hit very infrequently.

They are on gigantic amounts of gear though, so frequency isnt an issue for them.

Is that Robert?

why would drugs be required to get ANY gains from such type of training?
drugs also make you recover faster, shouldn't they benefit more from more frequent training?
Muscles don't simply stop growing after a day or two of training them you know?

>Muscles don't simply stop growing after a day or two of training them you know?
if you're natty? they do actually. Protein synthesis will only last around 48hrs

On gear this can last for days at a time so the whole "train one bodypart a week" thing works exceptionally well.

No they don't muscle protein synthesis doesn't stop after 48h of training any given muscle lol, you are looking at merely the workout induced muscle damage response that gives forth a spike in muscle protein synthesis, this is NOT the full duration where muscle grows at all, in fact it's not even during that period where muscle grows, that's merely when muscle proteins are being synthesized the most, because you just caused damage into muscle proteins you had and had to be remodelled.
That's why muscle protein synthesis is not correlated with hypertrophy.
