No, he called you out on your bs “doesn’t look like he lifts but has a 2,000lbs total” comment.

‘just as much as the skinny ‘doesnt even look like he lifts’ guys putting up raw 2000lb totals are entertaining and surprising’ was a figure of speech meant to illustrate that I find small but strong lifters entartaining. Not surprised that the subtleties of speech would be lost upon a middle aged man with aspergers.
Regardless, here are some pics of a guy with a 2000+lb total who not only looks very unimpressive in comparison with some much larger and weaker guys, but could actually pass off for a non lifter;

Look bubba, you’re not smart or articulate enough to play this pickapart game.

Actually, if you read the actual stats on Brian, his best total is just under 2,000 (1906 to be exact) and (here’s the important part), that’s his best total IN FULL POWERLIFTING GEAR. That’s very different from someone who lifts raw, and it’s pretty safe to assume that people were talking about raw lifters in this thread. Impressive raw lifters are pretty much always going to look the part, whereas equipped lifters will sometimes not.
And seeing as Brian is one of the top power lifters in his weight class, I’d say it’s pretty unlikely that there are raw lifters out there in that weight class who can best his total. [/quote]
Guys, I need some help.
I am having the darndest time trying to understand the logic behind posting a pic of a powerlifter who uses gear to help move the weight…in relation to a bodybuilder who would see no benefit at all from wearing powerlifting gear to train muscles.
Did I miss something?
Any Cliff Notes?[/quote]
‘There are no powerlifters with big totals who don’t look like they lift’
(picture of guy with a world record total who could easily pass off for a non lifter)
‘What does this have to do with bodybuilding?’
So insecure, so pathetic.

“Easily pass for a non-lifter” Are you kidding me?[/quote]
yeah exactly. Brian Schwab is muscular and pretty lean for a powerlifter. To say this is a non-lifters physique is beyond retarded. I think we can safely assume this guy is trolling hard.
