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.
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.
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?
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 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.
