Who cares about posting PRs? Powerlifting is stupid because nobody cares what your total is if you look like a bald, bearded blob like the majority of powerlifters. It's always been about aesthetics and leanness. The gym I go to is more crowded than ever. I thought the new year's crowd would've filtered out, but it's been noticeably more crowded this year.

It's all "Brought to you by..." "buy my pre-workout, merch, program" ect.. The soul of lifting is gone. Now it's all about making money from lifting instead of doing it for the love of it.
i think you've hit the nail on the head.

i have a home gym so i don't notice if the gyms are crowded with tiktokers and zoomer kids.

but i do miss the days of jason blaha being a lol cow, the hodge twins posting workout videos. the days of bro's posting form checks on here and getting ripped to shreds.

the mark ripple toe hip drive meme's

the newbies asking for what programs to do


you're right it is all comercial now and not for the gains anymore
