I can only get to the forums on my work computer (or my phone, I suppose), so I can't get to most images. It's a hard life, but I work with what I've got.
But yes, that is what I meant. Thank you.

I'm in the whatsapp group for the strongmen in my gym, and they talk shit ALL THE TIME. Half of it is slagging off others in the gym:
Powerlifters: aka Flowerlifters. Weak, care too much about their wilks score at the expense of being strong, complain about straps on deadlifts, do the poor man's overhead press (bench), spend all day foam rolling and staying weak
Weightlifters: These are crossfitters, and therefore gay
Bodybuilders: No one gives a shit about these. Not even worthy of slagging off
Some of these strongmen are genuinely strong (200kg bench, high 200s deadlift, mid 200s squat, 130ish axle press at 115kg bodyweight) but then some are mediocre (deadlift 250kg, squat 200kg at a bodyweight of 170kg... uses straps for 200kg...)
Some of the powerlifters are not very impressive (way too light for their heights and not lifting any objectively impressive numbers). But then there are guys benching 180-200kg, squatting mid 200s, deadlifting high 200s raw. And these guys don't talk shit about the strongmen. So I defend the powerlifters in the whatsapp group, which gets me into arguments lol.
Thought I'd share this ridiculous drama. There's some real fucking egos in the group, with that fatass 170kg belly man and his neck/chin/torso thing giving dumb advice and having a real unwarranted ego. I think a few in this group were fat fucks before they got into the sport and this is the perfect justification to stay fat (I'm not fat, I'm a mighty [novice] strongman!1!!!!11). Lame group I have on mute half the time
If you want to bash an overhead squatter, bash the one in my gym. He was doing this today in the rack right next to me with nothing but a bar... on a bosu ball.
That's one I don't remember.
