Power is work/time, but in powerlifting the time you lift the weight doesn't matter at all so the term powerlifting is kinda stupid and applies way better to olympic weightlifting where speed is actually important.
Kind of reminds me of a PVE player in world of warcraft. Spams dungeons and raids so they can get raiding gear that improves their damage in raids so they can get more raiding gear to raid for more raiding gear.
powerlifting is what you pivot to after you fail to achieve aesthetics. Basically, guy goes to gym, works out for some time, realizes hes not gaining muscle and his looks(aesthetics) arent improving and likely never will.
He then pivots into doing powerlifting as a coping mechanism. Now he is happy and can tell himself that being fat and ugly is a good thing, because atleast it helps his numbers go up
Compare the people in /PLG/ to the people in /fraud/ and you can see that its basically betas vs chads divided into two groups
The alphas turned to powerlifting because they don't give a frick, lift, have sex, love life while the betas tried coping by rooding out and maybe if they just pin another 100ml they'll finally get sexoo?
im sure that happens too. But the baseline is what i outlined, you're just describing outliars
People are drawn to what they are good at. If someone trains and the result is that he starts looking really aesthetic then hes going to chase that more. In reverse someone who gets stronger easier but isnt necessarily aesthetic will pivot towards powerlifting
In my experience its the other way around. First the kids start working out to get strong. Then once they pass the intermediate state and you actually have to put in the work to get the gains they b***h out and start cruising through their bro-workouts to get a pump.
Powerlifters are copers when they don't train back and/or otherwise look like dyels or bloatlords.
Roidtroonying is permacope, literal mental illness on par with trannies themselves.
People with actual high IQ will develop proper discipline so they can strive to achieve balance between both >If you go too deep into the aesthetics rabbit hole, you will become a vain roidtroony, and ruin your health despite your "good looks" >If you go too deep into the power rabbit hole, you will become a powerlard, and ruin your health despite your strength
Moderation is really the true key to life at the end of the day
Part of the problem is that powerlifting is a 'solved' sport. Everyone knows how to min/max training, nutrition etc to get better S/B/D numbers. Weightlifting is similarly 'solved', but it has the far higher barrier of entry in terms of skill aquisition-everyone knows what works, it's just far harder to actually execute.
On the other hand, strongman is much more varied because there are so many ways to be good and the odd events will always throw a spanner in the works of a regimented training plan.
Power, of course
they train for power but they're not powerful?

to increase their competition barbell squat, barbell bench press, and barbell deadlift
strength training
sbd numbers
competition
personal record, state record and world records
you on the other hand just think about other men
Being fat
number go up

Sounds more like "escape from reality"
That applies to pretty much everything in life.

Damn ypu sound insecure. Found the fatty ss dyel powershitter lol. Stay in plg beta
I just prefer strength over aesthetics in measuring progress.

People tend to overspecialize to powerlifting way too early instead of a building a solid muscular base first.
Your first two lines are a perfect answer to this thread.
The last line reveals you're a massive roidtroony coper yourself.

This. And I think a lot of the time theyre just mentally stunted
