FYI I'm the only powerlifter in this area (that I know of) who weighs >90kg. I don't blame you though, I used to assume that all natty powerlifters were fat fucks too lol.
I agree with you too Vonfram, the fake macho crap makes me cringe.
tbh Powerlifting isn't as important to me now as my other sports - til PA decides to start doing a bit more directly for its members I can't see it progressing.
I also heard that apparently to compete as a weightlifter, you NEED to have a coach?
