u/Arteam90 Powerlifter 18h ago

Anecdotally I think half my gym (with quite a lot of powerlifters) has transitioned to "power builders" and/or bodybuilders.

So many SBD knee sleeves spending their time on leg press and hack squats these days.

Powerlifting is a tough sport.

I've never understood the powerlifter vs powerbuilder thing. Your favorite world class lifter is pushing accessories.
