Why yes, we lift for strength, how did you know?

Are his lifts better? If yes then you're right. Who is left anyway?

lol, so sad that SS was created

He's not a faggot.
He's just an incel that thinks getting biceps will get him laid.

bay boomers wtf

Ilya ilyin
Only gotten 2 non gold medals in the major competitions he has competed in, including the olympics

>they never ran SS

The reason Jow Forums hates Alan Thrall is that even though he's natty he's stonger than the roidcels here.

Well that and Jow Forums has always been full of contrarians.

Better lifter than Klokov?
is that really true though?

Either way, yes we all fucking know that bodyfat helps with your lifts. it's like approximately 20%-25% that maximizes your strength. But at the end of the day, who looks and probably feels better? Who can move their body with less effort, and has more endurance using their bodies?

Klokov probably anally annihilates left in all the important shit like calisthenics, endurance, speed.

>But at least I can easily press my girlfriend over my head.
>get press to 135
>gf's weight goes up to 116
Oh no no no no no

I actually like the guy, but you can't deny thay all look like shit
I get that you can prioritize strength over aesthetics, but unless you actually make a living competing in strength, it's retarded to put yourself through so much discipline and training to look like that, all for the sake of some ego points
I've always practiced "heavy" sports (rugby, judo, boxing, lifting) and those who go full tank mode always look like crap, and literally make themselves crippled for the sake of strength. No mobility, no stamina, for what?
You can get fairly strong while looking good, stronger than 95% of you age class. Turning into a troll because you need to be the strongest everywhere you go is retarded

Left is Ilya Ilyin, arguably the greatest weightlifter of all time
Right is Dmitry Klokov

Ilya’s best lifts at 105kg are better than Klokov’s best at 105

even klokov doesnt look godly in that lighting
it's over for badlightingcels

I unironically think.alan thrall could be a lot stronger with a proper cut and bulk, he's weak by powerlifting standards

Is this really entirely due to different training or is it also bcause they're fat and shit genetics?

And what is the training difference specifically, again? Just higher volume and rep range 6-10 or so rather than lower reps?

cope

>But at the end of the day, who looks and probably feels better?
Left, no body dysmorphia and hes a world-class athlete

>not knowing who Ilin is
>not knowing he could demolish klokov at any physical feat he wanted to

>Better lifter than Klokov?
>is that really true though?

not sure if bait

he was also striped of his olympic gold medal for testing positive for drug use, it was years later though.

but right is natty

jesus christ I want to look like Klokov. what a fucking handsome beast.
