Precisely bro. Fatter doesn’t equate to strength necessarily. So I’m glad to see powerlifters become more conscientious of that.
And like Fancy said, we were saying how you and other guys on the forum who powerlift are strong but also have good physiques. So kudos to you and the other bro’s who are doing work. Much respect

I agree. He's a lot stronger suited as a powerlifter, but his bodybuilding physique is nothing short of incredible.

I saw him in a fight earlier this year, he lost a lot of weight. Still looks good but nothing like his prime. Seems like he was over 300 pounds and shredded at one point. He's 40 something now too.

Juji is a gymnast right? He's super strong though
Every gymnast I know is super shredded too. They're all quite strong as well, not exactly powerlifter strong, but still.
