Nice video title hijack, Nicolas
First, NWB – Bodybuilding
Now, NWP – Power lifting
Next, NWC – Crossfit, yeeeeaaaahhhh
What’s funnier is that the criticism you get about your physique comes from
other guys, not girls. Bodybuilding (esp when you compete) is a beauty
pageant for other MEN.
I’d rather focus on increasing my 1RM than focus on having another inch on
my arms. ‘Cuz what benefit do you have of “looking good?” A lot of girls
aren’t even into that body type of being shredded to the fuckin’ bone.
You’re mainly pleasing other guys that are trying to achieve that physique
as well. Idk, just my 2 cents on bodybuilding vs powerlifting. It’s
just…more fun. It’s not like you’re gunna look bad if you focus on PL,
anyway.
Could not agree more. I actually did a video on this. As a Cyclist I got
ZERO respect because I am not BIG! 108% of the sissy’s talking that shit
would crack and have their heart explode in their chest and or quit within
10 min of riding with me. The hardest sport on earth, but no respect? Now I
am going to get MASSIVE and watch these people change as I block and ban
them as they do!
good to see ur followin the footsteps of Jason Genova, inb4 nick wright
wrestler…
Dude this was epic! I agree completely
“My girlfriend looks good when she puts makeup on” – oh shit lmao!
Aesthetics is life brah…get ripped or die mirin
Nick, your lifts are shit! ;)
Great video nick, i myself switched from Bodybuilding to Powerlifting after
discovering the dark side of bodybuilding such as the politics and large
amount of drugs, i found their was so little comradery in bodybuilding just
people looking down on you, powerlifting its like a club everyone helps
each other out to help one another achieve their goals which is much
greater than being criticised by small little body parts or form..
IM sorry nick but ive been a HUGE fan of yours since day one ima inspiring
bodybuilder and you say bodybuilders aren’t strong cant fight cant lift
heavy etc but what about power lifter ok so maybe u can POWER lift 1 rep of
800 pounds but what else? you cant fight you cant have a great physique
there’s 2 sides of the coin and honestly i rather squat 300 pounds for 12
reps of 3 sets than to squat 600 pounds for 1 rep 2 max….ima keep
watching you’re videos because i always been a fan but just remember
there’s 2 sides of every coin
Dude that’s a really good point Nick. It’s almost like alot of physique/BB
competitors use their physique as a shield to hide whats on the inside.
That’s honestly true, I may have been guilty of that in the past.
Strongman is the strongest breed then powerlifters then bodybuilders
But aren’t all of these top level power lifters on steroids? Someone please
answer because I feel Nick is playing a losing battle from the get go.
You talk about trends in fitness. To me, Athletics is the real deal. And
probably the next big one. Im talking about Olympic lifting, sprinting,
jumping. EXPLOSIVENESS. No point in being strong but slow imo,
explosiveness is the shit. No better feeling than jumping 40 inches in the
air, or running like a cheetah. You talk about fighting as a measure of
athleticism too. GUARANTEE an explosive person will destroy a strong
powerlifter any time in a fight. Red muscle fibers (fast-twitch) > white
(slow twitch, powerflifting).
Yeah, it bothers me when people call BB a sport. It’s a competition, not a
sport. A competition relies on a judges opinion as to whom the winner is.
That doesn’t mean it’s not athletic. Figure skating is a competition too
and skaters train ridiculously hard.
A sport is different. A sport has referees, but they don’t decide the
winner. They just make sure everyone follows the rules. The winner of a
sport is determined by who had the better score at the end.
The thing that’s turning me off BB, is the lack of athleticism. I know we
all joke about Crossfit, but at least at Crossfit games, they actually
perform and use their muscles. The same goes for football. The players lift
weights, but it’s for performance and functional strength. BB is just about
getting bigger and looking better. I want to see someone train so their
muscles can perform and do something.
Keep this in mind – when a power lifter, or foot ball player, or
crossfitter is doing their sport, they are at their height of physical
ability. They are the strongest and fastest they can be and they perform.
When a bodybuilder is at his competition, he’s weak, He’s dehydrated, he
doesn’t have any carbs, and he’s exhausted. Tell him to walk off stage and
lift something or run some distance and he’ll pass out. For me, the purpose
of lifting weights and going to the gym is not only to look good, but to be
athletic and perform better. I want my muscles to do something better than
someone else. I want to be stronger and run faster and longer. I don’t want
to just be able to flex better than the guy next to me.
This is why I like strongman competitions. The guys are huge and have
ridiculous muscle, but their muscles are actually working to perform some
task.
I am 16 151lbs and a striving powerlifter. My Maxes are 135lb Bench 265lb
Deadlift and 185 Squat. I know this is not good but I have only been
training for 6 months and was messing with bullshit bodybuilding pump
workouts for the first 5 months now I am following Johnny Canditos Linear
program and loving it. Glad to see you are getting into it too Nick you are
a big motivation for me man. Thanks
Power lifting is so much more of a real sport than body building as it’s
actually about human performance…Numbers > Appearance
definitely losing respect from this video bashing bodybuilding. I just
think you can’t put in the work and the diet to achieve an acceptable
physique.
Hi Nick, My name is Steve and I’m a married 34 year old Dad of 3 beautiful
girls that lives in the UK. First off let me say that I really like your
videos. I’m an ex-rugby player and over the last 6 months have gotten into
bodybuilding. I like the way you don’t chat shit and get to the point. On
alcohol, steroids, and in this video insecurity issues for instance. I’m
bodybuilding for me, but there is a little insecurity in there. I think
there is in everyone. I understand that you’re fed up with the haters in
the bodybuilding system let’s say but it’s not everyone that’s a dick. The
people that put you down on facebook and YouTube was always gonna be dicks
regardless of if they stepped into a gym or not. Which a lot of these
pricks won’t have :). Anyway I’ve learnt a lot from your vids. Well done
with them and thanks. Good luck with the powerlifting.
No shit your a bodybuilder why would you talk about your lifts
IMO both powerlifters and bodybuilders both have the same psychological
problems however from being both at one point i’d say a bodybuilder places
all of his self worth in his physique and if he was to explain who he is he
would start with his muscles therefore can feel very threatened when
someone else has a superior physique as that person can seem as a ‘better
human’ whereas id say powerlifter uses heavy weight training more as a
hobby, escape whatever you want to call it and therefore has no reason to
feel threatened by someone else…just my 2 cents, what y’all think? :)
Lol your just talking about bodybuilding like that cause your not into it
anymore and just like u say bodybuilding Is just all about looks and have
nothing to brag about maybe they don’t give a fuck to lift heavy and fuck
their joints up or hurt themselves like u did dead lifting a while back lol
yeah powerlifters can lift heavy but most look like shit lol
your accidental comments about yoru girlfriends were fucking hilarious,
“so what you look good, my girlfriend looks good with make up on”
hahahahahAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
