        Choose one. The funniest part of this is that the favorite powershitter cope is that they "don't even care" about building muscle, they just want strength.

        the main issue with powerlifting is that they avoid hypertrophy
        strength without size is a peaked gimmick, more muscle mass = more strength in base phase, and a higher peaked potential
        there's a big difference between a peaked 170lb lifter only being able to bench 315 after months of prep, and a buff 220lb lifter being able to bench 315 for reps any day of the weak
        >oh but you're 50lbs bigger, of course you're stronger!
        that's the exact point, muscle mass generates force, frick peaked gimmick lifts, get big and develop real strength

      powerlifting is dogshit gay homosexual garbage when the lifter focuses solely on strength/peaking training, but bulks as if they're training for hypertrophy
      powerlifters who eat semi-resonsibly and devote a significant portion of their training to building muscle mass are the ultimate chsds of the gym
      nothing will turn more eyes than seeing some grizzly ape strict pressing 275+ for reps at a public gym, absolutely nothing
      meanwhile there's nothing more pathetic than some obese lifetime intermediate lifter who's been spinning his wheels for the last 4 years making zero gains because he maxed out his strength potential for his size and refuses to actually build more muscle so he can continue to improve

      powerlidting is feast or famine, they're either legendary lifter gigachads, or they're disgusting fat shameful abominations
      bodybuiling is best overall, if the main priority of your training is to build muscle while staying relatively lean, you'll only see positive results no matter who you are or what you do
      in powerlifting, it's easy to get addicted to the quick strength gains you make from just a few months of peaking, and if you never switch up, you become another pathetic powersharter

    But /misc/ told me that the only way to get fit is by going to the gym, eating a keto diet, permabulk, never do cardio or train legs and take steroids.

    Plus eating raw meat, like basedking

    Within limits. Once younreached those limits, in strength AND leanness (yes I am implying youre not there, in either sense) you can coax some additional strength out of your body by trading in your single digit BF.

    You're not supposed to be so lazy that you get the shitty returns as the guy in your pic, but yeah. It depends on what you define as strong I guess, but I would literally never achieve a 5pl8 deadlift without eating myself fat and then cutting after. Not possible, I tried and spun my wheels for years before accepting that I had to eat more.

    Yes. Having some extra belly fat isn’t necessarily going to help your big lifts. How does having 200lbs extra belly fat help bench press, or squat? Needing to be fat to lift heavy is a power lifter meme.

            Ok. I used to also be a firm believer in “mass moves mass,” then I cut 10% of my body weight and my lift numbers didn’t suffer that much, probably because there’s no reason that carrying extra belly fat equals better lifts when it comes to stuff like BP, OHP, etc. Dirty bulking mostly seems like an excuse to be lazy when it comes to diet.

      Being in a higher weight class doesn’t necessarily mean you’re fatter than people in lower weight classes. Also putting your weight on another person isn’t the same concept as lifting a weight.

    Can someone explain how that pic related isn't a clear sign of mental illness?
    He's deliberately going from overweight to morbidly obese, just so he can lift heavier weight, and even then, only in the context of a handful of lifts/movements with limited carry-over.

    Yes, but people severly underestimate how long time building muscle takes. And when people make gains and get fat, they would've made the same gains by only being in a 300 kcal/day surplus. It's not that they got fat, it's that they were in a steady surplus for a longer period of time.

      A 200lb (not saying you need to weigh 200lbs it's just an even number) natty hitting
      >2/3/5/6 (one competition legal rep, that means the press is 100% strict, the bench is paused, the squat goes below parallel, the DL isn't hitched etc)
      >20 pull ups
      is what I would consider to be strong. This is for an amateur who takes lifting seriously as a hobby. For any other bodyweight you can just do the math and adjust the lifts accordingly (except for the pull ups of course, that's 20 regardless of weight). If you're a roidtroon who roidied purely for strength you should be competing on at least a national level because if not why the frick would you do that?

    >bloatmaxxing for 3pl8 deadlift
    Just why

    Yes a natty can gain strength while been lean, it just takes fricking time! Pro tip: the internet is a cesspit of liars. Just because everyone online says they hit 2pl8 bench and 4pl8 squat in a year it does not make it true - and anyone who genuinely accomplished those feats knows how significant they are and can spot the bullshitters

    Be realistic in your goals, don't be expecting to be pushing advanced numbers when you haven't even been doing this shit for long. And don't expect to be looking like fricking thor after just 2 years of lifting either. You'll seriously set yourself up to fail, feel like you're not as strong as you should be and then feel like you need to bulk hard, then you'll just get fat (and yes mass moves mass, been fat will make you stronger but is that really what you want)

    Rome wasn't built in a day brah just stick to your program, keep progressively overloading and trust the process and you'll soon be strong and built

      Exactly but morons are paranoid they are gaining muscle 10% slower so they balloon into slobs like this and then most of them never get lean again. I'd rather gain muscle slightly slower and be aesthetic and healthy all the time. People are just undisciplined and impatient.

      It's a right of passage. You have to fall for the bulking meme to realise how grotesque youve actually become so you can cut and only then start the path to aesthetics and making it

      I think it happens as a result of getting into strength training relatively late, as in mid to late 20s after spending the younger years being a human blob playing vidya and eating garbage. I’ve known a couple guys like this. Gains come incredibly difficult to the two of them, and they’ve never quite shaken off their physical awkwardness in terms of their movements.

    Depends on what you consider strong. But I can do 3pl8 diddies for reps @ 150lbs, so you certainly don't need to bloatmaxx to hit 1/2/3/4, probably even 2/3/4/5 if you're a bigger guy
