Meant to be "Pictures of men who lift heavy things"
Because as refreshing as it is to see women getting into strength training, their bodies are not relevant to my goals.
EDIT: While this may not be your goals, being insulting because "derp derp these guys are meatheads" isn't really helpful in any way, shape or form.

Do you have a source for this? If so, then this is sad.0 -
What do you guys think of the bench shirts? Have you tried it before? Is there a big difference in weight you lift? Just curious.0

I can feel my testicles retreating into my body0

I've never used it because I'm nowhere near a competition level, but all of the powerlifting equipment obviously aids in the lift; it can be seen in the numbers in the difference between a raw lifter and an equipped lifter.0 -

I'm pretty sure this is an old picture. He's dropped some weight in recent time I believe. Either way, he can Deadlift the weight of a small family+.0 -

I have competed in the past, and they do raise your lifts. But you will gain much better core strength without using belts and stuff like that. If you goal is stricktly to lift something heavy, then they have a place. If you are just trying to get stronger and bigger, there isn't much need for all that stuff. I got too fat for my weight belt, and as a result went raw...........and have never put one on since............0 -

Mind-boggling strength.0

Brian Schwab; holds records for Bench Press and I believe total as well in the 148 lb. weight class
He actually owns a gym near me, but besides it being kind of a drive, I'd be intimidated as hell to work out there.0 -
Observation - most of these guys have really short arms. Now, does this make them better at lifting because they have less distance to go? Or, do their arms just look short because their huge muscles push them out?0

Hmm, I don't see it. I think the opposite would be true, for Deadlifting at least.0 -

Really? Look at the Zane guy. I have really long arms (6'1" span) and was told by a trainer that heavy lifting is harder for long-armed people and easier for short armed, barrel chested people.0 -

Too bulky for my taste.
I like nice definition and tone but leaner.
Form follows function. These guys have performance based goals, and don't really care about looking like an AE model.0
