When other people at the gym suspect that you’re taking steroids, while saying,
“There are a lot of powerlifters who are on steroids, but they are.” (Insinuating that I might be on steroids, because I do not look super super steroided out, yet I have godly strength).
People are not sure what category to put me in. Why? They think I am a “powerlifter” because I do not do any silly repetitions, and only go for a really really heavy one rep max‘s. Yet, I don’t do any of the standard lifts like the deadlift, squat, benchpress, etc. I might have already been the first weightlifter to ever rack pull 815 pounds (eight 45-pound plates, two 10-pounders, plus the 55 pound Texas squat power bar) at the gym, and the first I’ve witnessed doing an atlas lift of 935 pounds!
