Plainly put, most powerlifters look fat, even though they may be insanely strong.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The idea is to become a hybrid of both powerliflifter and bodybuilder; insanely strong one rep max lifts, and demigod physique.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"max-width:273px;margin:auto\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/sRqYK187?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F07%2Feric-kim-flex-gym-demigod_mov_avc_240p.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Also, it seems that both powerlifters and bodybuilders are more driven by fear of maximizing their gains, instead of being driven by personal motivation. Also, both parties are far too obsessed with strange stimulants, protein powders, and supplements.<\/p>\n<p>I also believe that all famous and competitive powerlifters and bodybuilders are all high on growth hormones and steroids, whether \u00e2\u20ac\u0153natural\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 or not<\/p>\n<p>, or whether \u00e2\u20ac\u0153legal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or not.<\/p>\n<p>Or another words, do not trust any bodybuilder, or powerlifter, who is on social media, YouTube, is sponsored, mix, living from it, or makes a partial living from it.<\/p>\n<p>The same reason why you should never trust the physique of any Hollywood actor or superhero; it is in their personal self interest to maximize their size and muscularity, which means the most intelligent motive is to use steroids, or other \u00e2\u20ac\u0153natural\u00e2\u20ac\u009d steroids, testosterone, or human health hormones to maximize their gains.<\/p>\n<p> Apparenlty this is also rampart in the CrossFit community, the calisthenics natural bodyweight exercise community, and even the yoga community.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most bodybuilders are not that strong; they have great endurance, when it comes to pulling levers, and churning out hateful repetitions, yet typically their one rep max strength for deadlift or squat is poor. \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-420621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420621"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":420636,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420621\/revisions\/420636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
