    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

      They are fat(and stupid)already, so may as well cope by becoming powershitters

      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

      have never done any sort of lifting and is the reason why they can't give you an actual answer

      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.

          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

      >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

    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?

    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

        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.

          Yeah - a barbell, bumpers and deadlift platform/rubber floor are super rare in a commercial gym

            bumpers used to be very uncommon you moronic 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 frick which is a big negative.
