I competed to prove to myself. That guy wanted to know.
I don’t want to talk you into anything you don’t want to do.
I loved the creative tension of competition

Alright, you didn’t. Can you guarantee no one or most are not on gear?

Why are you looking for answers like this? This is a weird thing you’ve done in the whole thread

Nope.
Which makes it even more awesome when I beat them

You think for a strong as he is Candito looks impressive? Where is the muscle? He is a manlet with a big ass.

Because strength is earned with heavy weights, or at least volume. I want to be healthy and strong. I just think that competitions are for setting records, and that’s proving something.
Because many athletes have been caught of drugs. Olympic athletes are known to be full of drugs, and also the IPF. USA powerlifting probably also. It sounds like he tries to contradict that.
I think he’s onto something

Strength doesn’t only come from muscles of course.
Alright, didn’t know it’s not allowed to discuss these kind of stuff here.
Idk man for someone who’s not interested in powerlifting, you seem concerned about who’s on steroids, when they are, and if they got caught
I don’t know from where you brought that. I only said that i have no chance in powerlifting competitions because the top lifters there are on gear. Maybe i do but i’m not gonna waste my time trying to. There are kids at my age whom already deadlift 300kg+. I have no chance to get there at the same time period they got there.
Are you of the thought process that the only reason to engage in a hobby is so you can do it at the most elite levels possible? Like, do you ever play video games, or do you refuse to that because professional gamers out there will whip circles around you in league Starcraft?
I actually stopped playing Call of duty because of everyone using OP snipers. I moved to another game where it won’t be so boring.
Anyway, no.

Anyway, no.
So there you go: there are LOTS of competitions at the local level that are an absolute blast. I actually find them more fun than the higher level things, because of the “wild west” element to them.
At my second strongman competition, the guy before me dropped the circus dumbbell from lockout. It felt and bent into a U-shape, basically a cambered dumbbell.
There was no replacement dumbbell.
The judge looked at the dumbbell, looked at me, said “Welcome to strongman: you’re up”
I still got the rep.
BtW: What did you think about that list of books I provided you?
Let’s say that is true. None of those elite lifters will be lifting in tested meets while on AAS. In tested meets there might be some there taking AAS, but they aren’t any good. That is why they are competing against natural lifters. And beating them isn’t a great accomplishment.

Why does that matter?
Steriods:
Not competing:
Competitions also require being ready for them. If I’m going to prove something to myself, I rather do it right. Sure is a nice activity doing competitions, not gonna lie. Maybe later.
I’ll check them out. I don’t know any of them. The purposeful primitive one looks interesting. Also powerlifting basic looks good. As you said, i don’t want to complicate things too much. You gave some books here but i wonder if they will just confuse me.
I’m not into competing in powerlifting myself. Powerlifting is entertaining, as strongman, and as the olympics. I stated a fact.
