Weightlifting Vs Powerlifting

[atrumluminarium]

I love how he just doesn't upload for months then casually just starts a war

[CCSABCD]

This is Clarence's way of telling us he's gonna pursue PL now.

[weightedsumwl]

This feels like it was made 10 years ago, and I'm all for it

[MrOrthodox]

So this is Clarence's final answer to whether or not he will be a powerlifter in the years to come.

[bigtom]

As a powerlifter, accurate. The sport has been bastardized.

[BaldOmniMan]

Weightlifters have chaddier lifting sound effects than powerlifters

[Wayfrer]

Powerlifting would be 10x better with some rule changes, imo. Weightlifting is still and will always be much cooler though.

WL has some weird rules, but PL has more. Like why is the bench paused but squat isn't? Squat has a range of motion requirement, but bench doesn't.

The virgin powerlifter vs the chad weightlifter

[mel-jukp]

I split powerlifting into two groups: guys like Haack, Orhii, and Atwood who have pull huge numbers with impeccable form and Westside Barbell boomers who play who can unrack the most weight

[Black_Fang]

weightlifting is just so much aesthetically pleasing

[ilyailindu]

Straight back during the pull is so much more classy and demanding than a round back, sometimes it becomes nonsense in powerlifting competitions.

Weightlifting remains an art of strength sports and by far the most difficult because it requires more technique and coordination

[BakOonLy]

The powerlifting rules makes it look like a circus show.
Thankfully there are athletes like John Haack and Russel Orhii who lift massive weight with great form for their bodyweight, also Taylor Atwood who has a slightly less beautiful form, but powerlifting is about weight not aesthetic lifts

[mattmilstead]

Yea you are absolutely right especially with as John hack said “ the Ipf is the weenie hut jr of powerlifting.” The sport has a big problem with the bullshit lifts. There definitely needs to be a range of motion standards and or pause in the squat. Also don’t get me started on the multi ply lifting what a joke .🤓

[RexfromIslaNublar]

It’s funny because weightlifting should really be called powerlifting, and powerlifting should be call weightlifting, because Oly lifting focuses more on technique, speed and power as oppose to powerlifting which prioritises strength

[Truth_Çkr]

As someone who discovered weightlifting after powerlifting, I can tell you that once you are enlightened and see the beauty of WL compared to the disgustingness of PL, you never want to go back

[albertcamus]

Johnnie Candito had a great video about grip width regulation. I think the 0 ROM bench is doing the sport a disservice. Bench could be replaced with Overhead Press as well.

[ROHITBIRJERANE]

Can't wait for the 2 hour long response videos to this.

[Yupppi]

This is the meme content I needed. But damn those weightlifting clips were beautiful. I had a tear in the eye watching.

im a weightlifter and i signed up to a powerlifting comp for fun. i went into the „raw“ catergory and next thing i see is people all over the place wearing belt and knee straps. wtf i thought it was „raw“
