Code for: "mentally retarded"
Some people think that being a meathead is cool. I think meat is something that comes from something slower and dumber than I.
Why does it seem that the majority of powerlifters are the most intensely stupid, ignorant and emotionally unstable rejects imaginable? A very simple reason is "daddy issues". Another is the "I'm dumb and I know it so I have to excel at something that just requires lots of effort" complex. Perhaps one leads to the other but one thing is for sure: when you have people who abuse drugs , their bodies, their emotional selves, their families and anything else they can get away with for the sake of proving something, there is a problem.
The way in which we use the word exercise literally comes from the dark ages when people were into exercising their demons. Nothing has really changed, in a recent elitefts.com article, the author mentions that because his emotional life is so fucked, doing anything in the gym seems easy and normalizing. His case is not unique. This seems to be the norm for powerlifting. Hate and fear permeate the bizarre subculture that has formed around it.
In the causal chain, fear precedes hate. Why do you think many powerlifters have to get bigger and lift bigger in a constant drive to prove themselves? To become stronger and more intimidating than that which they fear. This is fundamentally the same as the sexually abused girl who grows up to be a whale because she is trying to insulate herself from the fear she feels from male sexual aggression. It's great that people can find an outlet for this and I have no real problem with that but, as I said earlier, I do have a problem when the outlet becomes an excuse to further the abuse.
Psychology has no real answers to this, you can tell because psychologists frequently are as fucked up as the people they treat. Another indication is the ineffective drug and therapy protocols employed by the psychological establishment that just keep having to get more and more intense. I have yet to meet anyone who has actually been cured by these quacks. It has been proven in declassified documents by people who you pay to "keep you safe" that the human mind is laughably pliable and there exist a plethora of modalities to entrain the individual to any desired response.
Despite the macabre tone of these spooks total derision of the human individual, these techniques are no more deleterious than the commonly accepted ones. The only reason you aren't able to access them in the mainstream is because curing people isn't very profitable as evidenced by the amount of totally unnecessary and detrimental surgeries being performed everyday in every hospital in the world.
I'm not bashing powerlifting as a sport or powerlifters for that matter. I am bashing peoples total and wanton mishandling of their situation to the point where they look in the mirror and and hate what they see looking back at them. See elitefts.com article.
Your demons are your choice. You feed them and take care of them and keep them around.
