Or maybe even the cartilage that sticks your knee cap to the patella. Ever since I screwed up my miniscus diving into a tire (long story), my right knee pops waaaaaaay more frequently than my left.

It’s a terrible thing to say, but I’m hanging for Monday to get back into it. The light pre-meet week and the no-barbell post-meet week have obviously done me good but FUCK!
Knowing I’m heading into a low TM rep fest only makes me more impatient.

Shaved my top half. Holy hell, that makes a difference. A good half - or more - of the negative changes I was seeing this last month disappeared. So yeah, body hair.

This is Patrick Morrison. To me, he’s one of the most impressive PLers around. He competes at 181 usually

Does he live where you live too?
No, he’s based in South Australia I think.

I’m beginning to see the flaws in my perception of Power Lifters.
I go to a commercial gym that has a lot of great people from all walks of life who train for a variety of reasons. It’s a friendly place, but not stupid like Planet Fitness. The small handful of people who train for power lifting are small. I’ve stumbled across a couple guys who are probably 5’ 8" to 5’ 10" and 180 lbs with about 15-20% body fat. There’s one little Asian dude who busts his ass, but there aren’t any big guys training.
The only power lifters I see are the ones who make headlines breaking records. They’re usually very large individuals, barrel chested and all.
I’ve only seen a small portion of the population until recently. Sorry if I offended any of you power lifters with my ignorance!

what happened to you? You used to be a powerlifter, now you’re all sick abs and calf raises.
For shame.

It’s more fun being not fat. Simple.
Got the idea from one of the strong guys at my gym. Then it hit me all the PLers under 308 lbs are kind of jacked and lean.
