[nithishsorock]

suck it body builders who calls power lifters fatty!

[skirts365]

I saw Dallas Cowboys Randy White up close once. This man has him so outclassed in brute force.

[catchfree84]

this guy is a monster

[steroidsR4losers]

roids

[TheTlong85]

fat allows them to store more strength and have the body mass to help in the movement of tremendous weight

[jalidav1]

Daaaaamn Freddie Mercury got buff!!!

[JPMartin5]

why are most powerlifters fat though?? I mean isn't fat dead weight that doesn't contribute to movements?

[playa3674]

@JPMartin5 they arent. most guys in the 275lb classes and up are fatter. its mainly because of body types, the type of training they do (lack of cardio), and the retarded amount of calories they eat to put up the weights they do. most guys in the 242 classes and under are fuckin cut and lift big ass fuckin weights. search konstantin konstantinov

[beerecan1227]

@playa3674 he's a 275 308'er but your point gets across he's a freak... vogelpohl is a slab of granite in the 242's... prob the example youre lookin for

[Omegalactic]

who said you have to be fat to be a powerlifter! no disrespect the fat boys; I'm one of them!

[tobiasrooth]

damn traps till his ears!

[Viktir666]

Some people get toys in the bottom of their cereal box, this guy must get roids at the bottom of his.

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

@Viktir666 Roids help you recover, this guy still works harder than all besides a select few of the population.

[Viktir666]

@xNewAgeWarriorx LOL I have nothing against steroids or the people who use them. Only morons who abuse them and end up hurting themselves like children.

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

@Viktir666 Oh ok, I misunderstood. Lol yeah YOU NEED THOSE STERIODS ELSE YOU CANT CURL MOAR!!!11!!!

[Qwark45]

jack city

[roidsR4losers]

haha omfg look at dudes traps n neck! and yeah he is a fat powerlifter

[zrx7769]

@roidsR4losers awwww, you are jealous!

[joemcbobinite]

that cant be him during his power training season..this has to be off season when he cuts cuz hes thicker than that..

[stephengerondakis]

Wow, hes not muscular at all.

[Viktir666]

@stephengerondakis Wow, you're not funny at all.

[stephengerondakis]

@Viktir666 Wow, your not a fag at all.

[strikername]

I dont think he has cheated with that body because if he hasnt, That's the Biggest natural body with abs and awsome muscles i've ever seen...OMG!

[Meni69]

Konstantinovs is lean as hell and strong as hell

look at his channel. Konstantinovs

[skirts365]

He doesn't worry about being beaten up.

[Jedlessness]

god fucking damn

[berner]

"Yeah go ahead and laugh!"

[carcinogen20]

traps are gross

other than that, awesome

[chiconspiracy]

@carcinogen20

Look at old time strongmen, they would say today's pec craze is "gross".

[hotdude23]

i like this guy he is super strong and in a good shape,

[dufus321]

what a fatty!! haha

[mohammad112388]

Wow, can you say beast.

[MysticGentlemanPRD]

Captain Kirk is played by Freddie Mercury as you can see.

[illouie]

Geez, look at his freakin' neck. Wish I was fat like that@!

[rantanen1]

@illouie

...fat?

[illouie]

@rantanen1

????

Look at the uploader's comment of the video, then watch the video, then read my comment, then make the correlation. Obviously the guy is not fat..

[rantanen1]

@illouie

oh pardon i somehow managed to understand u meant his neck was fat.

dont ask how, my reading comprehension wasnt at its best

[tastefulphrasing]

How tall was he? He only looks like 5' 8 or 5'9. Am mistaken? I found this guy yesterday, and I already am a huge fan. Looks great, has some of the biggest quads Ive ever seen.

[foottothroat21]

hes not... a common misconception with people outside powerlifting is that powerlifters are "fat". its true they have higher fat percentages then bodybuilders or oly lifters (usually) but pretty well every guy in the 275lb classes and under are very lean and if shed a bit of excess fat would be ripped beyond belief.

[fuertesyrobustos]

You wished you could be fat like that!

[dresendezz]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! priceless, haha.

[Atacamamusic]

He must be powerlifting's equivalent of Pudzianowski, or visa versa! ;)

[ptarleton]

All of the best powerlifters in the 242 class or below are very lean. A lot of the best 275ers are lean too. It's only the 308s and the Super-Heavies that are competitive in their weight classes and fat at the same time.

Captain Kirk need not be compared to Pudzianowski. He's a legend in his own right. Arguably the greatest Squatter to ever live.

[dutchstrongman]

pudz hasnt got shit on this guy, kirk is king

[glueissticky00]

well is pudg powerlifted maybe......

[SJRogers]

I think this is Kirk's way of saying "You don't have to be fat to be strong.".

[skirts365]

OK if that's correct I stand corrected and what a body, pro footballers, stand aside or you may be injured.

[luthmhor]

Notice the smile on his face at the end.... He's joking with the cameraman.

[SJRogers]

This goes to show you that not all powerlifters are fat.

[madmonk6969]

@SJRogers Or "using" what Captain Kirk was.

[skata123456789456123]

@SJRogers actually, only kirk was cut... :P

[klondike460]

I know Kirk personally and i dont know how you can call this man weak....1003 pound squat...598 bench...900 deadlift...I'd like to see anyone do this.

[plcj58]

Actually Kirk never even pulled 800. Not that he didn't have the power, he had a really poor grip because he had very short stubby fingers. But Kirk is one of the greatest powerlifters EVER.

[klondike460]

I jsut got the numbers mixed up. All I know for sure is his squat and bench. He told me last week that I would end up outbenching him. Talk about a compliment!

[sniperboy102]

yes they are

[Marlboro1337]

I am done here. moukalou i am sick of your idiocy and i suggest you actually lift some fucking iron and train with some bodybuilders before accusing them of being roid heads who lift light weight and get huge from that. take a look at male strippers those guys take tons of roids and get some initial growth but plateu forever because they don't chase huge numbers, nor eat to gain weight. All i'm asking is for someone to show me a bber who is WEAK. and i dont consider 350lb bench for 10 reps weak.

[TheAmazingOti]

For how big body builders are, they're weak. If they trained for strength instead of size, they'd be doing three times as much.

[drakenw15]

ur an idiot....

[TheAmazingOti]

Look up strength training and muscle fiber recruitment, you dumb fuck.

[mrbtardation]

It's true but does it really matter?

They can always start strength training too...

[muaythai193]

Everybody has got their own goals in mind and so they should do whatever the fuck they want!

From my point of view it's better to have functional strength/anaerobic endurance/explosive strength/agility/etc...than to just look good and having huge muscles!

Good new year 09!

[Marlboro1337]

I ask again, please show me any of the top bbers in the scene (as Kirk is one of the top PLers) and tell me he is weak.

I am sick of hearing how PLers treat bbers like they are some jokes. People like Yates, El Sombaty, Kovacs, Prince etc did not have ridiculous genetic caliber of Wheeler, Levrone, Dillet; yet they bulldozed their way through heavy weights in order to get the mass they have. You will not find a bber who has very impressive size that got that way through 'light weight'.

[moukalou]

Stop kidding yourself...

Even the great Serge Nubret said that huge mass of today's bodyb have more to do with pumping a lot of drugs in their body than traning.He said that today people get huge on even 20 mins workouts using drugs while bodybuilders of the past sometimes spent 2 hours/day in the gym & had a much pleasnt physique.Nutrition & drugs have more to do with mass than heavy weights because there are tiny oly. lifters that life huge weights but stay small because of a low calor. diet

[Marlboro1337]

Steroids huh? hundreds of thousands of gym rats use steroids. Please show me all the enormous physiques that these are producing if just roids and tons of food is what build large muscles. Honestly where the hell do you get these ideas that everyone lifts light weight for hundreds of reps and then suddenly gets huge? How much size have you gained? Your oly comment is irrelevant because i said before heavy weight AND food makes large muscle. Those oly lifters also don't do much high rep work.

[YouNoop]

ONLY HUGE weight make HUGE muscles....food is just for repairing the fibers^^

[prowrestlerwwe]

most power lifters are not fat. come to any meet, youll see we look more like linesman then fat asses. only some in the super heavys get fat but most are lean machines

[LazySniper]

man those unlimited class guys are fucking huge.

[liampowerlifter]

powerlifting all the way

[liampowerlifter]

weird how andy bolton does cardio 3 days a weak yh twat

[rdabbs124]

the only power lifters who tend to be fat are the ones in the unlimited weight class. Any powerlifter in a weight class of 198 and under is usually pretty ripped

[boobytooby69onurface]

i think ppl tend to confuse powerlifters as "fat" because they have thicker bones from all the heavy weights they lift. Powerlifters are strong while bodybuilders have muscle but r frail...I would rather have a powerlifter's body anyday

[luthmhor]

The bone size difference is negligable, millimetres at best.... Many bodybuilders do compete in powerlifting, maybe not world championships but they do compete and do quite well. Powerlifters are fat thers not much to say about it, its common knowledge that many powerlifters "eat" there way past a PR, gain weight and hit a new PR. in the 225-250 class its very rare to have a guy below 10% BF. loook up ripped powerlifter on google and tell me what you find..... Kirk is as good as they come imo.

[luthmhor]

Ive lifted for a long time and have great respect for powerlifters, moresoe than bodybuilders. But its very rare to see a powerlifter with a well defined 6pack. Unless weight is a big factor on if they win or not they tend to be fat looking. 20%bf+++ most powerlifters consider cardio to be for pussies and after a huge set of squats can be left panting for 3m straight. All this shit im writing is from a brand new book by powerlifting icon and coach Marty Gallagher "the purposeful primitive"

[MassMan67]

Bodybuilders are definitely not frail......couch potatoes are though. Don't make such stupid statements without watch some bodybuilder train.

[Marlboro1337]

Yes bodybuilders are frail. Like bodybuilder Ronnie coleman who has benchd two 200lb dumbbells for 12 reps and leg pressed 2000lbs for 8. OR bodybuilder Johnnie Jackson who has deadlifted close to 800lb.

Very frail.

[moukalou]

Ronny Coleman was a powerlifter before oiling his ass on a scene...and he is one of the strongest bodyshapers because of that.

[Marlboro1337]

How about you show me one bodybuilder who is huge, and still happens to be 'weak'?

They don't train for 1 rep max strength so in that respect their strength isn't quite as comparable to a powerlifters... but bodybuilders like Dorian Yates, Lee Priest, Kevin Levron... hell any top bodybuilder train and eat their way up to huge weights in order to build the kind of mass that they are known for. One does not build a large amount of muscle by being or staying 'frail'.

[moukalou]

Those are exceptions...

You can become big lifting pussy weights regarding your body size but you can never be weak when lifting like 2 or 3 times your bodyweight...or even 4 times like Kirk on his 1000 lbs squat

[Marlboro1337]

And why are the bbers I listed 'exceptions'? They all had one thing in common - huge muscle from huge weights for moderate reps. That right there disproves this 'theory' of bbers being weak yet somehow slapping on tons of mass. The only 'weak' bbers are those that have no mass.

[moukalou]

The fact that your establishing a classification between bodybuilders saying that a few of them lift hard only proves that most of those left lift pussy weights regarding a powerlifter of same size & weight.

Simply put:Powerlifting is a sport and bodybuilding is an art.You don't need big weights to shape your muscles but to compete in a sport you need performance (In powerlifting that means to lift 3 or even 4 times your weight).

[zztoproadster]

Jackson has done over 800 in meets.

[angrygunsmith]

ronnies doubled on 800lbs, not many bodybuilders aorund these days do that

[Marlboro1337]

come on.. are you really buying this 'bodybuilders are weak' mentality? Sure they are not as strong as PLers in the absolute strength sense... but how many of the BIGGEST pro's don't bench press 400+lb?

Unless you have absolutely top of the line genetics (Wheeler, Dillet), and these kinds of bbers I am not taking into consideration, you NEED big weights to have big muscle. It's a fact.

[angrygunsmith]

im not buying in on that, i just stated that ronnie dealdifts 800lbs, so i am not condradicting the fact that bodybuilders are strong,

[Schwarzalbenheimen]

Wow he is damn solid. All those bodybuilders look puffy as hell compared to this. Just solid muscle.

[chechecheko]

freddy mercury on steroids lol great body, pure power

[CataPower]

he's a fuckin animal...pure power!Respect the sport and you will be a champion one day!!good vid

[dbol90]

Incredible!!! Thats the body I want.

[drewfasa]

He's fat? I'm sorry, is that sarcastic/facetious, or is this a board for anorexic women/body builders.

[bench3000]

i think it is a joke. Now most people say:

"Yer so what he can lift 600lbs, he is just a fat fuck."

Though this video proves them wrong.

[Warsheeper]

and he can squat 1000lbs 2 times^^

[museguest]

that's true!

[ironsamson]

да..Кирк очень сухой
