I do oly and calisthenics. I lift to get better at the hobbies I enjoy, to be aesthetic, and most importantly to be a strong father my kids can be proud of
I've only known one guy who actually competed in PL and he was a little , lean, strong as frick dude (for his size). The rest of the "PL"ers Ive known are just fat dudes coping for not wanting to cut
Buildyboder. I do it for the love of the pump. I go MEIN PUMPY every time I get pumped and it make me laugh which feel good , thats why im a buildyboder and I bod my buildy
Neither. I lift things up and put them down, but don't do any of the stupid shit the other two groups do.
I want to look strong and be strong, not look like I have no skin and be good at cheating on 3 lifts to brag about numbers.
>I want to look strong
That's bodybuilding. Has nothing to do with doing competitions or starving yourself. If you lift to grow muscle, you're a bodybuilder. The term bodybuilding long predates any competitions: it is at its core the art of sculpting the body.
But I also consciously devote time at the gym I could have spent doing various accessories that would give me better visual results to stuff like core strength and balance, so it's not just bodybuilding without extreme cutting.
Bodybuilder I guess. I started lifting to look like someone I could be proud to see in the mirror and I have never once checked my 1rm in over a decade of lifting.
Don't know bro I just lift heavy weights up and down
I'm an athletic lifter. I lift to get stronger and faster.

I look good though.
>Are you a bodybuilder or a power lifter? Why?
im a powerbuilder
I actually don't identify as either of these options. I am something that a set of predefined labels cannot encompass.
I to be strong exclusively in the 4x10 rep range of bench, ohp, row, pullup, deadlift, and squat. What does that make me?
yes. why not?
Functional strength athlete.
