lol I call him that because he's big, but try harder man. maybe some day he'll go to a meet and see how he compares to them. there's a guy at the gym I go to that lifts pretty heavy and looks like a powerlifter. I asked him if he was and he laughed and said no. he doesn't know if he could 'hang' with those guys. I just shrugged and said you should go and see how you do. just have fun and you might meet some cool people.

Your doing a good job my friend! I'm really considering it, I feel that with my body I could go either way, but powerlifting is something I feel that I could do well in. I hate decisions lol.

Depends on what level of powerlifting just like bodybuilding.


Average joe powerlifter can range from lineman to someone like I was. Small but strong.

More competitive power lifter can range from someone like me now that focuses way way more on strength to someone with a slight belly that is very big all over just not cut.

Then you start getting into the people like Dznts that have everything going for them in powerlifting. No extremely long limbs, really stocky, cut arms but not shredded to the bone. And of course very strong at this point.


And then the pro powerlifter look like beefcake, Brian shaw, people on the espn worlds strongest man.

That's my take on it anyway.

No no no! That's not a "typical" body for a powerlifter, more a bodybuilder type of body. This guy is an exception

THIS is a powerlifter that competes in strength. Actually from my old gym in Sweden:
