why is powerlifting not more popular?

my rankings, based on personal experience, of most physical of sporting pursuits (mental, fitness, pain, strength and so).

1) AFL, although I stopped playing in late teens.
2) running races.
3) weightlifting
4) throwing and jumping
Last) powerlifting without a doubt.

nevertheless, I still like powerlifting as a sport to compete in and watch. i like most sports. I just don't think it is that hard.

FFS you knob jockey! Every Sport is hard. It's not the Sport that makes it hard, it's the competition. Human Beings, like Animals (eg @Grunta ) are competitive. It's the competition, the competitive nature, the spirit to out do the other which makes it "hard"!.

Not harsh at all, a sport requires a level of skill and athleticism while powerlifting requires none of these.

OK. My final statement on all this.

If anyone thinks that swimming, running and other such low impact sports compare in any way to weight bearing sports (weightlifting, strongman, powerlifting) then I feel sorry for you. Life has slipped you by. You have opted for the easy, the shortcut, the most travelled road. You have failed. But not to worry. I won't hurt your "feelings" by suggesting that you are wrong and that the path that Eddie Hall took is far superior. After all, when the 300 Spartans (and their attendants) stood firm in the Gates Of Fire, someone had to stay home and look after the chickens.

So, you guys sit back, check your abs in the mirror (not that you have any to see), hit the like button on your Facebook page and prepare for a torrid session at the local swimming pool. Gerry and I gotta go lift some heavy shit cos we are actually going to put it all on the line and get on the platform.

Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. And then there are those who wonder, 'What the hell just happened?

strength sorts they are good to watch. but in the scheme of things, there are many sports that are far more appealing, including swimming.

woody, you should have been born and lived in eastern Europe where many salivate over sports that most westerners have very little interest in.
 
CrossFit = workout
Powerlifting = restout

Both tough?
Yes.
But as I’ve said many times; if you’re going to be stupid you’d better be tough.
because both activities are as risky as each other.

Does swimming have its risks?
well...
