*sigh*
whenever i tell someone i'm into powerlifting, they look at me skeptically until i tell them "its not bodybuilding". then they almost always say "OHHHHHhhh... you mean like the stuff in the olympics".
NO.. thats OLYMPIC lifting.
i don't even know what a snatch IS.

I hear you there, everytime i tell someone i am a powerlifter, they say oh yeah and throw there are up in the air like the are doing a snatch, I hate having to explain to them, since they ill never under stand the difference. because they alway keep asking, so when are you going to be in the olymics!!
the snatch, is the movement were the bar goes directly over the head at arms length and their legs are usually split instead to going into a squat.

I hate it when people think I'm talking about bodybuilding when I say I'm a powerlifter. They give me a look like "you're too skinny to do that"
