I will challenge you to any bodybuilder workout and you can do my powerlifting routine and you'll see the difference. And I won't even get started with strongman compared to bodybuilding. Many bodybuilders have tried powerlifting and strongman and failed!!

Powerlifters don't care about public perception the way bodybuilders do. It's a niche sport and we are good with that. To a powerlifter or any other serious strength athlete (ask Ronnie Coleman what he thinks about powerlifters, or Stan Efferding, etc.), they will tell you that 800lbs is 800lbs no matter who lifts it because they know what 800lbs feels like. The problem with the general public is they have no idea what big weights feel like. They can't conceive the idea of 800lbs. The general public thinks a fridge is heavy, but a 400lb fridge is warmup bench press weight to a serious weightlifter. So the public perception of 800lbs is unfathomable. The only thing ruining powerlifting is gear, but over the last couple years, that has moved away from the extreme gear and RAW powerlifting is beginning to take center stage.

But the idea of a powerlifting or strongman workout is a lazy mans workout is the dumbest thing I've ever had and I challenge anyone to do one with a real powerlifter or strongman and then spout off that stupidity!!!

You can always come visit me in Vegas and we'll see who does the lazy man workout!
hahah okay dude ill come to vegas an lift as much as i can one time.... other then for ego what does that do? It doesnt make you more funtional in anything you would do in real life (except work for a moving company). it doesnt make you look good, it doesnt make you faster, reaction time is actually slower, flexibilty is lost.... ya seems soooo intense. Ive been there and done that and now that i dont i feel much more athletic and faster and flexible and stronger(at doing more then 3 reps at a time). So unless your training these other areas of fitness as well i would def be impressed but if your not... yes it is lazy mans workout to not exert yourself for more then 10 seconds straight
