Now... I have seen a resurgence in PLing (at least in my city) and I'm Fuking elated to see it. I've also seen the younger generation is full of pussies who don't want to work or they put in half ass work.
God I hate that term.
I swear whenever I hear "Powerbuilder", it's like someone is running their fingernails down a chalkboard.
If you lift (either for bodybuilding or powerlifting) and do not compete then you are a "Recreational Weightlifter".
(i.e. Gym Rat)
Different context. Because those can be hobbies, and not indicative of competing. Being a "powerlifter" automatically entails competing. The platform is what makes one a powerlifter. You can "train as a powerlifter" but you can't be one until you compete. You wouldn't call yourself a marathon runner if you never ran a marathon. You can eat a lot but you aren't a competitive eater until you compete..lolI have to disagree and call BS
Just because a person doesn't compete in tennis or golf and squash and running or motorcycle riding or any event or pastime , they may do and put many hours a week into .. does not mean that they can not be classified as being a participant in that event and pastime or sport.
If ya wanna get technical. Weightlifting is Olympic Lifting. Calling it Olympic Lifting is more of a new thing/misnomer. It is just known as weightlifting. lolBut for now, she just says she's a weightlifter.
