Powerlifting any more interesting now Chris, or is it still more boring than fat loss? :-)

Cool article.

But powerlifting is a hobby, and supportive equipment doesn't hurt much. But it sure does leave more marks on you than you'd think lol

Sorry, but powerlifting to me is more than a hobby, it's a passion, it's helped my career, it's a lifestyle, a mindset. Don't want to trash talk or bash anyone, b/c I'm definitely not the world's best, but I'm competitive. And if you've ever worn really tight gear it hurts, rubs you raw, digs into your skin. Some worse then others, but still, not always the most comfortable thing.

Good article.

As the Great Terry Todd once said, "Walking in a place with no footsteps."

Malinda is the wo-MAN!
