You Know You're a Powerlifter When...

when you take a dump you sit back and push through your heels like a big squat

You look down at your hand after a workout and arent sure if its chalk or Surge/protein powder on your hand.

You give it a lick anyway.

according to my calculations (1 lb = 0.453 592 37 kg).

You know you’re a PLer when you use the conversion factor that gives you the biggest lb conversion for your total.

  • When ppl ask you what you are going to to do this weekend and your reply is: restitution.

  • You get kicked out of “All you can eat” restaurants.

  • You get fucking pissed when you see people doing curls in the squat rack.

  • You ask “Whats the biggest steak you have” at any restraunt you go to.

  • The only place you go to more often than the gym and the store is the bathroom.

  • You get excited when you’ve gained 10lbs.

  • When your girlfriend has to do all the heavy lifting around the house because you’re going to train heavy deads tomorrow.

  • you clog the toilet EVERY time you take a shit

  • You think that it’s kinda gay to have hair on your head.

That is so true for me.

You get fuckn pissed when some one ask you if you are a body builder.

You have ever mowed the yard with briefs on because your hips are so beat up.

You have ever quite a job because if interfered with your training time.

People bring a parka when they come over to your house because the thermastat is set on 60 all year.

You consider pop tarts pre work out nutritiion and beer is your post work out drink.

If half of you training partners have a dip in during a work out.

If you spend more on gear than you do on all other clothing combined a year.

If you have ever set in your recliner and wondered if it is really worth gettting up to go piss or if you should just try and hold it!

…when you carry, or have considered carrying, baby wipes in your gym bag for your pre-workout constitutional…

When your ideal weekend consists of a 12 hour sleep, a BBQ, multiple naps and heavy deadlifts.

…When your shins are an unbroken constellation of scars and scabs where hair will never grow again.

Give it a courtesy flush. Even a smaller toilet can get MOST shits down in 2 flushes, you just have to time the first one properly.

When you rack pull a solid 35# PR from your nemesis pin, feel a slight tweak in your back over your right hip, but feel good otherwise and decide what the hell let’s do some heavy 3x3’s on stiff legs and end up hobbling around for 3 days wondering why you haven’t learned better yet.[/quote]

HA! My favorite one by far. We actually have something in common, who’d a thunk it…

Monopoly

when it take you 315 to get to depth…raw.

When small children and large animals are drawn to you.

You wash your gear only when forced to.

You are very comfortable discussing any lift’s groove or gear tweaking naked.

You consider “hardgainer” a latin word for “undereater”. You don’t know any.

You live for stepping on the platform, and you might die for a PR.

You help someone you don’t know, or your chief rival, at a meet.

Before the trophy is in your hand, you are planning your next meet.

You would rather go to the Arnold than the super bowl.

Your toilet is called “The super bowl”.

Your life partner complains about how loud you groan walking to the super bowl every morning.

Lots of folks have quietly told you to give up that sport before it is too late.

When you have moved beyond criticizing another lifter’s lift, gear, supplements, or fed on the internet, but you save your critical side just for your training partners lifts, clothes, expressions, life partners, or antics.

Great stuff, Jack.

You’ve been hit in the head by your partner so often for snoring that you’ve learned to sleep through it.

You didn’t mind having to adjust to a CPAP because it finally meant you fit in with the big boys.

For me, that’s one of the things I truly love about powerlifting.

Definitely!

… a discussion of briefs can have nothing to do with boxers, and another about suits include nothing about ties.

… you come to love your callouses and mourn them when lost while pulling. Likewise, you look upon the gym rats wearing gloves with nothing less than disdain.

I sure do go to the superbowl alot, so its going to be one stinky arnold for me. BTW in my opinion some of your quotes here I would actually motion to be put into the strong words app on the site border.

You guage your manhood by how long you can push the Prowler after a DE Sq/Dl workout and not pass out

BTW, If you don’t have a prowler…GET ONE.
