Not impressed with these facilities at all but these guys are great athletes.

@RPenta are you actually serious?

[prettyboyswagnyc]

Fuck powerlifters u skinny bastards have nothing on BB.

[Sarge343]

@prettyboyswagnyc it's called olympic lifting, powerlifting is squat, bench press and deadlift. And I would like to see a BBer attempt to snatch 300 pounds

[thericky1]

just a question, when they pause for a second before doing the press in the beginning where do they rest the weight? shoulders or that bone right below the neck?

[Sarge343]

@thericky1 they rest the bar just behind the clavicle, on the shoulders. That position demand a bit of flexibility, so try practicing with just the bar, having only 1 or 2 fingers under it and keeping your elbows high, over time it becomes natural (and quite confortable!)

@aguaditoo i am american and i agree once america started bodybuilding olympic weightlifting was all but forgotten even though the first ever bodybuilders (tommy kono john grimek etc) were champion olympic weightlifters, i wish america would get a good system and get rid of crossfit for trainig our olympic team

@MrPowerlifter13 in regards to lifting, we have zero recently.

"The 62k class is packed so his chances of making the olympics are slim" -> wins gold

[MrPowerlifter13]

Well we are relevant in the most important thing. The medal count ass hole.

@Sarge343 I am dead serious on the lack of equipment, dude; thumbs up yours.

[aguaditoo]

@RPenta well you Americans can keep your fancy facilities and continue failing at the Games. you're not even relevant in olympic lifting. let the chinese and eastern europeans compete while you guys watch on in awe.

@prettyboyswagnyc are you serious this guy called prettyboy calling someone a skinny bastard its easy to talk shit on the internet bodybuilders have no fighting skill and its mostly just beach fluff they could care less about building real strength

[jorn0607]

who cares about curls anyway? Weightlifters are strong and athletic, they can jump high, run fast etc. What can BBs do? Go around looking huge, and not even be that strong? That's the definition of fake!

[prettyboyswagnyc]

-I would like to see one of you scrawny powerlifters curl 135 for reps..

bodybuilder: "what does that work? biceps?"
