If someone totals more than you in a powerlifting meet because he has better techniques, do people believe that you're still stronger? Do you go around telling people you're stronger? No, you lifted less than him, you're not as strong.
So who is stronger, Daryl because he pressed the DB or Tim because he couldnt?
Or is Tim stronger because he benches more than Daryl?
Maybe Daryl is stronger because his BP is a WR.
I havnt read all the posts...
I just wanted to add something..
Moving more weight does not = stronger.
If someone wide stance squats 200kg at a power lift meet with belt low bar just barley paralell.
And i ATG high bar raw 199kg with more speed and power.. Am i not stronger then the other lifter?
I know alot of people who are stronger then me yet i can 1rm lift more then they can. Strength is such a strange thing.
I recently altered my bench style, wide grip belly bench lots of arch dig toes in.... Can i lift more weight? Yes, am i stronger NO.
A r6 is faster then an r34 gtr but does the bike have more power then the car? NO...
Pretty stupid question really of course the 2nd lifter is stronger - if he is moving 199kg with more speed and power than someone maxing out on 200kgs ...then yes the 2nd lifter is stronger because if bar speed is faster then of course his chances of lifting more than 200kgs is greater than someone maxing out on a lift 1kg heavier.
For me what has wide stance, high bar, no belt, belt, blah blah got to do with it? - its all about bar speed -
If A moves 200kgs in 10 secs and B moves 199kgs in 5 secs - then pretty simple to see whos stronger -if a 1kg increase would slow your bar speed down that much then you have probs - this is just an example lol
What happens after we die?
If your total is more, you win the competition, which it is.
Not thinking clearly today Andy?
Tim weighs 100kg, totaled 800kg, finished 3rd in his class
Daryl weighs 67kg, totals 460kg, wins his class, sets 4 WR, is Tim really stronger because he lifted more weight?
Maybe you only skimmed my post
FFS, if you guys arent going to read the original post, stop wasting ink typing an answer
Tim is stronger. he lifted more weight.
Perhaps Adams injuries came from lifting so much weight. humans weren't meant to do this. its part of powerlifting.
