[LOL] Powerlifting workouts should only be 60-90mins long says a retard...

rofl I am "Weak as a kitten" from 4 hours per week of training. That's a bit rich young fella. My 12 year old son can put almost as much weight overhead as you and he trains for less than 90 minutes. I guess the rest of nattys are just kittens.

Don't you bench +160?
 
Don't you bench +160?

+170 and I don't train more than 90 minutes a session -probably never have - and only a couple of times a week atm. I'm also doing "high bar" squats. I don't think it's retarded to suggest that strength or "powerlifting" sessions could be or should be 60-90 minutes long.

Some WL I know train 2, sometimes 3 times per day and I guarantee they are not doing more than 60-90 minutes per session on that frequency of training.

I'm seeing a lot of sanctimonious twaddle from the PL brigade when it comes to healthy debate about training. PL, WL and Strongman are cousins of Bodybuilding. They all "build the body" to be bigger, more powerful or stronger. You are all bodybuilders at the end of the day.
 

Could and should are 2 different things. Those like you who get their sessions done in that time-frame are a minority to my knowledge, but as you also said, you're not even competitive at the moment.

Some WL I know train 2, sometimes 3 times per day and I guarantee they are not doing more than 60-90 minutes per session on that frequency of training.

And then they get in 2-4hrs a day of training I bet...

The dude in the video was almost certainly only discussing single sessions in a day.


We're all weight-lifters in the end, we all lift weights. And I'd hardly call it sanctimonious. A healthy debate about training is one thing but if an average gym rat is telling a competitive powerlifter that the way he trains is wrong then he deserves to be called an idiot because he clearly has no fucking idea what he's talking about.
 
May as well go get my nuts cut off now.

I thought it was the other way round, bodybuilders are guys who, deep down, just want to be powerful but can't hack the long training sessions.





No. Bodybuilders are just not "equipped" for the long training sessions of a modern powerlifter:

 
Yeah, I've gotta admit I always thought that [MENTION=5361]El Freako[/MENTION]; and [MENTION=4221]Sticky[/MENTION]; were closet Bodybuilders. I've seen numerous selfies of them in here at times. Time to come out of the closet lads!
 
I didn't know what powerlifting was til 2008, I always wanted to pursue bb'ing but though I excelled at bulking the whole cutting part didn't interest me...
 

Dude why don't you fucking read shit before you post? Did you miss the several posts I made where I said that looking at a single aspect is as pointless as asking if a single drop of water was 1% or 10% of an entire hurricane.
Again you missed the point because it IS retarded to say that a strength or powerlifting session should be 60-90 minutes long. Why? Because ff it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it. People get great results with training for a very long time.

Should powerlifting sessions be 90 minutes or 360 minutes in length? Yes.
 
No

Again a lack of understanding of the scientific method. Winner right here.

Yeah I bet you feel really stupid after your massive wall of text on "looking at the moon" when you failed to notice the point entirely yourself
