Has anyone seen the powerlifting in the OLMYPICS?

[jimm]

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"

It works the same way for us thicker guys. they give me a look like "DAMN! you are too sexy to be a BB'er" WHAHAHAHAHA
no really, they always wonder when and how you are going to diet down for the upcoming contests. that's when i can say that i am under weight and am trying to gain 5-10 lbs for my contest!!
you just have to sometimes sit back and laugh at the things the simpletons (wanna-be-bb'ers) say and do in the gym.

There is a big midget trade in these parts!

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.

The snatch is where the bar goes from the floor to directly over head with the feet together (in the old days the split snatch was performed by some).

The clean and jerk is where the legs are split.
