Why the mantra "get stronger to get bigger" is bad advice and how strength training infiltrated bodybuilding

So let me get this straight, you are seriously saying that someone who has never run a marathon, you are happy to class as a marathon runner, just because their intended aim is to run a marathon?

If so I’ll bow out of this conversation, you and eye cannot possibly see eye to eye, because for someone claiming logical superiority over everyone, you are completely detached from reality and the basic tenants of logic.

Of course!

Partly it is. But increasing max strength in SBD is a part of crossfit training.

Your reality involves the approval of others stamping “powerlifter” on your forehead in a corrupt federation.

Why don’t you post some pictures of yourself, let’s see those quads.

What if the Powerlifting federation has not been suspended for being corrupt? Is that too a corrupt federation?

To what end?

USAPL got suspended and is now expelled by the IPF haha. You’re the type of guy who goes and powerlifts in the USAPL then claims he’s a powerlifter when yet the USAPL is considered illegitimate.

That’s literally the best your boomer logic got you to. Critical thinking? We don’t care about that.

You don’t know much about me to draw most all of your conclusions

You brought up the fact that I finished 4th so let’s see what you got on me then, smalls.

Stop typing with your gut and put up some photos.

I know those quads are too small for you to share.

Is that what it takes for you to say how many contestants were in the Middleweight Class in the only bodybuilding contest that competed?

Alright let me roll back the hyperbole here for a second, because the above does nothing to address my concern.

Let me just clarify you are seriously stating that someone can be called a marathon runner, by the simple act of training with the stated intention of being a marathon runner?

Not just the intention of being a marathon runner, but doing marathon training on a consistent basis.

I was a bodybuilder long before I got o stage. Why? Because of my bodybuilding training.

Thank you for clarifying, I’ll bow out of the conversation, we will never see eye to eye on this matter.

You didn’t even know before that powerlifting inherited the tradition from Olympic weight lifting when you claimed that 5/3/1 was not powerlifting because it trained the overhead press when in fact the overhead press was a competitive lift and powerlifting did not invent pressing strength.

I am glad that you know all that I know. Anything else about my knowledge that would be nice for me to know?

some of the word salad replies remind me of this:

I do agree on this. I can’t call myself a crossfitter, nor a powerlifter according to my deadlift workouts. Defining a sport practicer through the training methodology is not sustainable intellectually.

But I’ve made my points several times already.

Good luck to you.
