I really don’t understand the push to get powerlifting commercialized, or in the olympics, or whatever. Why can’t powerlifting just be what it is? Who cares if the public recognizes it as a legitimate sport. I always thought most people got into powerlifting because they wanted to move heavy weights and go head to head against other people that lift heavy weights. I thought people did it because of what they got out of it personally, not because they wanted their face in a magazine.

Have you ever even been to a PL meet? Judging from this statement, my guess is no. There aren’t SHW competitions. There are super heavies that compete, usually at the end of the last flight. And these big guys, the freaks that you want to hide, are usually the ones moving the most weight. Also, if you had actually ever been to a meet, you’d know that they’re fucking boring. Even when the meet director puts on a good show, and you know more than half of the people competing, they still suck. Once again, you’re talking out of your ass about things that you know nothing about.
