That's what powerlifters are. They wanted to be aesthetic but didn't have the genetics so just decided "whelp guess I'm a powerlifter" so they don't have to feel bad about being fat/unaesthetic.

Seriously I reckon this is how most powerlifters start out

its a completely different sport

strength is the focus - of course youre going to be stronger if you wait half hour between sets/eat loads of calories

you could say the exact same for Olympic weightlifting......................

Have any of you been to a powerlifting competition or done a powerlifting prep ever?
If you eat like ****, you will, too, look like **** and LIFT ****.
Eating **** holds you back in lifting more, too.

That's not true.

You can eat well, with lots of protein, be really strong, and because you went WAY over your calorie limit be fat. I went through a period where I was extremely strong, and fat, from eating too much. I used to bike 60 miles like it was nothing, but still be fat.

If you are eating a lot of carbs on top of the protein, your muscles are filled with glucose. That makes you very strong.

Now, I'm much leaner, have strong muscles, but there's no way I could do what I did when I was fat and strong. I couldn't bike sixty miles, and there's no way I could lift as much for as long.

And, I wasn't on any kind of steroids at the time. I was natural and the way I could keep my muscle and strength was to eat too much.

Many of the guys who are lean pictured in this thread are on steroids.

sorry to burst your bubble but the leg press machine isn't a squat buddy
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Edit: you can easily find people in vids squatting a 1000 pounds for more reps than I said.
Is this an aware thread/post?

So to prove powerlifters are aesthetic you named 3 of the best bodybuilders ever? Yeah they messed around with powerlifting for fun in the early days and on the side but thats it.

Point is a powerlifter will never look like flex wheeler. Small waist, symmetrical, proportions etc. They can have some muscle and be not fat but i have never seen a powerlifter with striated quads, tris, lats etc which is what a makes a good physique.

This is happiness beyond anything you can fathom. It's impossible to appreciate how easy, stress-free, validation filled, and endorphin-releasing these lives are but we can guess.

They've escaped the rat race. No 40 hour weeks, no hours spent in traffic commuting, no deadlines to worry about, no essays to research, no projects to lose hair over. No forcing yourself to wake up early, force-feeding for energy even if not hungry.

You wake up at 10am after a full night of GH-releasing sleep. Your hair looks effortlessly styled even when messy. You eat your breakfast and take a shirtless selfie "cooking eggs!" "it's bacon time!" and post it to IG.

You put on a plain white tee and some jeans. You haven't shaved or showered and your wardrobe is as basic as it gets but NONE of it matters because your face just makes everything work. It's the uglies who agonize over which direction to style their hair or how much stubble to trim or what shirt to wear with what pants to look good. All irrelevant to you.

Then your ride comes to pick you up. A limo from the agency to take you to your photoshoot of the day. You spend 2-3 hours in good lighting with a female model, posing and cracking jokes with snack breaks in between. You collect your fat paycheck and head out.

In between all this you've gotten literally hundreds of IOIs from women - on the street, on the train, in the grocery store. The entire world is like a runway because chicks keep GAWKING at you and cant control themselves. You have to hide a ****-eating grin - how can life be so amazing you wonder as you shake your head and laugh.

Now you go to the gym for some weight lifting and briefly glance at the bloated pimply moonfaces high-fiving each other over their 4 plate squats. You see a chick secretly snapping a pic of you from the corner of your eye but ignore it and laugh.

80th text message of the day comes in. It's the desperate sloot from tinder who has messaged you 3 times in a row, begging you to be her FWB. You don't feel like smashing though and just want to play video games. This thought doesn't give you any second-doubts or cognitive dissonance or anxiety over turning down sex because pussy is a never-ending stream for you, a commodity.

Quick check on instagram - your unshaven unshowered selfie has 80000 likes with 9/10 hbbs posting kissy emojis and tagging their hot friends


"@kayley this is the guy i was telling you about!"

"future husband"

"I.CANT.BREATHE"

"@tiffanyyy @jessicaxo @amber92 ohmy****ingGOD"


Another stream of endorphins release upon seeing this validation. The tenth time today. Better than any drug out there. Heroin without the side effects. You smile as your self-esteem is satiated. Your genetics are celebrated. You are intrinsically desired Women want you for you. Not your money or your social connections, then want YOU.

What - you think I am exaggerating? That no male's life is like this?.... I got news brahs, not only does this all happen, but it happens EVERYDAY. ALL THEY DO IS TRAVEL TO EXOTIC LOCATIONS, TRY NEW DISHES AT TRENDY RESTAURANTS, AND TAKE AESTHETIC PHOTOS

Not my cup of tea but respect their achievements. From the various documentaries I've seen the top guys don't live very long and/or suffer from debilitating injuries.
