Funny post from Brandon Lilly on Facebook this morning:
I need to apologize to everyone that has followed my powerlifting advice. Here's some things the internet corrected for me.
1: Getting stronger isn't most important. It's more important to maintain your strength, and drop 2 weight classes for your first real competition.
2. Total? What is that? It's all about the Wilks.
3. Ray Williams, Vlad Alhazov, and Eddie Hall's lifts are irrelevant because there lifts aren't 3x bodyweight or more. Of course Ray gets some bonus points because he walks out his squats, and is in sleeves.
4. If you use AAS you basically have zero strength without them. They are so potent that they will instantly put you on the Mr Olympia stage if you do them.
5. Geared powerlifting is actually worse than AAS. Squat suits are like fork lifts, and bench shirts do 100% of the work. Actually scientifically tested at 103% of the work.
6. Federations don't matter. Unless it's your federation. Then it's the best.
7. More important than total, weight classes, or Wilks is your Likes and Followings. It's totally acceptable to burn your gym down, and embarrass your family name to get more Followers.
*Edit- for 2018 I'm starting a fed that has a squat that sees who can walk it out the farthest then squat. Distance x Weight / Weight Class= Winner
At the end of the day being strong is so 1995.
