i got one for ya .... new rule suggestion

 how about rule number 10 stop hating on powerlifters ! 


almst every other day i come on here and theres somthing on here bashing us , um we do have a good bit of knowledge just like the next lifter were not different from other people that lift we just focus on heavier weight and less reps and all

im just getting tired of coming across subjects about how powerlifters are fat and dont care on how we look and pretty much calling us fat losers

it all ranges from
- i wanna gain strengh but i dont wanna be fat like a powerlifter
- heres the most recent - powerlifters belly , i got a big belly from eating whatever i want trying to get stronger but i got a gut like a powerlifter

pretty much all on here that mentions powerlifting is negative seriously just search for it ..... dont try to pull nothing out of the powerlifting section , very few go there anyway


i hope the moderaters can take a look at this , no disrespect to any of you guy's and gal's but ive kept my mouth shut about it for to long

 Stallone, suck it up!... the owners of this site are the guys that make the rules... unless it's something that offends them, or is directly aimed at you,  you're  out of luck and going to have to deal with it, ignore it or go away...   

Personally, I could care less what some 135lbs creatine sippin, BCAA poppin, no-explode guzling, wanna be bber thinks... It's actually very funny, especially when they post stuff like, I'm stuck at 135lbs and my pecs aren't growing.. someone pleeeez look at my Ronnie Coleman Bench routine I copied from Muscle and Fitness...

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

 

If this rule passes, I will eat my hat.

AKA fat chance (no pun intended)

rofl. ^ pun completely intended, don't deny it.

Is this a serious request?

Every Saint has a Past. Every Sinner has a Future.

It seems so odd to me how honesty is honestly the rarest thing upon us. Honestly, it's astonishing.

as i figured this would be passed off , honestly i dont care no more ,

whatever

its not that its bothering me that bad its just the fact that people post this crap and its messed up to say somthing like that

its like me or someone saying to an overweight person that there at slobs and you'll never acomplish anything


i figured you guy's would take this as a joke ive been here since 06 and have never been taken seriously , especially when im trying to get something important like this across

I actually agree with you Stallone... I think not many people take powerlifting seriously. However, there's not really a rule I could create for this issue.

"Don't make fat comments about powerlifter's or you will be banned?"

"Don't say powerlifting is for slobs or you'll be banned?"

The thing is, a lot of people are ignorant when it comes to something like powerlifting. Powerlifting is a small niche in bodybuilding so people don't fully understand it.

The only reason we disallow topics like sexual orientation and politics is because those have almost always lead to major arguments in the past and caused a lot of good members to leave over things un-related to bodybuilding. The only thing similar I could do with powerlifting is to ban the discussion of it... but that's kind of pointless.

As long as people don't personally attack you there's nothing I can do. While I don't agree with their thinking, you just have to remember that they're ignorant when it comes to powerlifting.

Here's an idea though. Maybe you can find an article on why powerlifting is looked down upon and why it shouldn't be this way. I can sticky the article for you and whenever a member makes a dumb comment about powerlifting is for lazy slobs you can point them in the direction of the article. It would be nice if the article listed commom mis-beleifs about powerlifting (that way if the poster listed one of them, your article takes care of proving their post incorrect).

smoundzou said it right above... the people that put it down are usually little kids that don't know anything about bodybuilding (thinking NO-Xplode will get them results 4X faster and the squat rack is for looking good doing standing BB curls.)

Edit: I just wanted to add, I do take you seriously Stallone. And I know of a couple other members that also respect what you say when it comes to lifting. I'm sure a lot of us here on DB respect you, but I'm just telling you I've personally read things where people have stated you are a very knowledgeable person.

kris ,
thanks man im just wanting people to see it from my point of view , it just sucks that alot of people just look down on powerlifting something that i and alot of others do enjoy
in truth somthings people say can be harmful 

i'll get an artical together im sure i can find something  do you want me to post it up or do you want me to send it to you ?

I understand. Even though they're not putting you down personally they're putting down something your passionate about.

Once you find a good article post it in the powerlifting section and PM me once you do that. I'll look it over and then sticky it to the top.
