Who?
And I doubt it. Even if it were to reach olympic sports status it would still be insignificant in the public eye in comparison to bodybuilding. It'd just be a different version of weightlifting really.

No, just lycra leotards... and some are drugged to the eyeballs with bleeding noses and burst blood vessels in their eyes.

Atleast the increase of popularity in powerlifing is based on raw lifting.
The increase of popularity with bodybuilding is an increase of figure and physique sports model competitors which is verging away from its traditional ways.
Being "fit" is trendy on the internet, and its fucking boring as shit. Everybody is an expert, or providing inspiration to others. "fitspo", "gainz" and IIFYM. Fuck off.

They were virtually synonymous up until the 70s IMO, maybe even the 80s.

tbh commercial gyms and their staff are the worst thing out for powerlifting - using any kind of barbells or heavy weight is actively discouraged in favor of 5 day splits doing a heap of unnecessary crap!
A trend I have noticed is a few people here and there doing some Olympic lifting due to not being able to do Crossfit.

I dunno man every anytime fitness I've been in the PTs or manager has often striked up conversation with me to talk about powerlifting and shit. The main anytime I go to has a strength leaderboard and before then I went some some other private gym and they were always really cool about me lifting
Very true.
The number of bullshit divisions at natty comps is exploding. You don't even have to train for half of them and it will discourage real competitors eventually. I understand that they all sell tickets but it's boring to watch unless you are related to them. Leave the bikini girls on the beach, if they want to be famous they can go in Picture Mag.
