what drives "people" seeking "strength" to go for powerlifting instead of olympic lifting or strongman?

Because you actually need some semblance of athleticism to do those other two
The real answer is that its the easiest discipline to get into besides cardio and calisthenics. Oly lifting will require an actual oly coach. Strongman is going to require a strongman gym, which I have never seen in my life. But there is always at least 1 gym that is only 10-20 minutes away from where everyone lifts and its so easy to just start learning how to powerlift.
These dyels
have never done any sort of lifting and is the reason why they can't give you an actual answer
Fippity bippity
Cry more sausage boy
No amount of squats will lift the shame away.
>Cry more sausage boy
Oh that was pretty cute. When the bell rings, get back to algebra
>No amount of squats will lift the shame away.
you do realize that literally every athlete squats... right? oh wait, you didnt do any sports, my bad
They are fat(and stupid)already, so may as well cope by becoming powershitters
Olympic weightlifting is power not strength(paradoxically), it also has a skill barrier. For strongman, it isn’t easy to get into, very few gyms have the equipment and there isn’t a standardized method to train and get stronger at it
Most strongmen are fat as well but most competitive non-super heavyweight powerlifters are fit(12-17%)
What about Olympic lifting requires coaching? The movements seem fairly straightforward. I do the clean and jerk all the time. For no particular reason.
OLY you had to start as a kid and strongman requires roids
The OLY lift and your pre sleep routine are completely different
All of it. They're extremely technical lifts. They aren't something you just walk up and do well if you actually have any amount of weight
Most powerlifters were bullied fat kids in high school who did gay sports like throwing or were benchwarmers on the football team. They cope with being fat losers by pretending raw numbers are the only thing that matters
Oly lifters and bodybuilders are generally well-adjusted people who have no need to cope with being weird fatties
who gives a shit gay go ask them if it bothers you so much.
And why is it only dyels who worry about what other people do in the gym?
>And why is it only dyels who worry about what other people do in the gym?
Its because they don't understand what its like to get somewhere. Only people who actually went through the work will respect anyone and everyone who goes through some sort of sacrifice to get somewhere
And these dyels do is post cartoon characters and ask "how to achieve".
Then they have these emotional fits because some guy went to the gym and doesnt look like morony or whatever gay anime shit its called.
Calm down a bit, you are just as bad as the dyels you are talkin about
but I actually lift and dont shit up the board asking for "redpills" about oatmeal or whining about some fat guy doing squats and posting anime pedo cartoons
Yea nobody really cares man. You can keep complaining about it if you want
yeah man lets go laugh at some powershitters instead! Look at that fat fuck he doesnt even know only LE BASED ODDURRR MOWED gets all the pussy haha! see this thread is so much better now!!!!
redpill me on oats
what drives “people” seeking “validation” by spamming threads about powershitters to the point where the joke is overdone and it’s just obnoxious instead of going outside?
The big 3 are the most efficient exercises to build strength.
Cause its safer and easier to train. Not as in easy as how hard it is to push but in how complicated the movements are and figuring out how to progress
progressing on dumbbels only is way slower than barbells imo, you need a good balance of both
Access to equipment
does oly require more equipment than powerlifting?
olympic lifting is banned in a lot of gyms
wut, why?
"dangerous"
Its an access issue. Most people lift in commercial gyms and can bench, deadlift and squat. Therefore they compete in those lifts. Until recently, access to olympic lifting equipment was rare. Strongman was also super niche until recently. Reason why the vast majority of strongman competitors were primarily powerlifters until recent. Young lifters dont understand how limited gym culture was until about 15 years ago.
>Until recently, access to olympic lifting equipment was rare
Yeah - a barbell, bumpers and deadlift platform/rubber floor are super rare in a commercial gym
bumpers used to be very uncommon you retarded zoomer lmao it wasnt until the crossfit fad that gyms started stocking them
Olympic lifting and strongman require special equipment that most commercial gyms don't have like a platform and bumper plates that you can drop without the staff (and other members) yelling at you.
And strongman requires you to be a fat fuck which is a big negative.
