Not all powerlifters have a high body fat %. Some are actually very lean, but still their proportions are not "fitness model" look because they carry a lot of mass in legs/waist.

Some people actually care about their big 3 more than how they look, or just like to lift but don't give a fuk about how fat they carry ( just like being strong).
Any post I make should not be taken seriously.

The fatter you are, the shorter your range of motion is on the bench.

Because their diet is probably tragic. When I say their I mean the two guys you posted. Not every power lifter looks like that though. But diet > lifting

He's on record with one of the best bench presses in the world. He's not a bodybuilder.

Yeah nobody cares how much someone can lift and they look like chit. Should work on that diet.

It's like some ppl are on eternal bulk

It's usually an older guy.

Fat as ****... but he puts up 405 on the bench. Never see him hit anything other than upper-body. I guess you can call him an "upper Bodybuilder".

Because they lift for strength not aesthetics. Cutting costs muscle so getting shredded would set them back.

Not all of them are fat but I really doubt they care tbh.

Because most don't give af about aesthetics. They train for strength not photoshoots. Look up Larry Wheels, he's an aesthetic powerlifter.

S: 315 / B: 245 / D: 405



if you use straps you can't lift it crew

Powerlifting is about being strong, and many powerlifters are willing to look fatter for a bit of strength.

Definition of Powerlifter:
fat hairy white guy who shaves his head and grows a goatee while binging on mcdonalds and listening to heavy metal music but can put up m*ssive weight in the squat, bench press, and deadlift..... nonetheless, powerlifters are strong as h*ll and could kick your *ss.

Current deadlift WR holder for the 198lb weight class. Would actually smoke just about any weight class in the deadlift except for the other .0001% WR holders.
