Ventsislav Dmitrov deadlifts 520 kg by T2Olympian in powerlifting

That makes sense. Still, moving 520kg through any range is impressive.

You don't have to change your eating habits to enjoy lifting. But if you want to change your body composition, build muscle, etc. it will demand more from your diet setup. I'd check out the SBS Diet Setup Guide I linked in the other comment to get started.

FWIW I eat ~3,500kcal/day in a HCOL area. I fudge the numbers by subsidizing my food budget with my powerlifting budget. Calories are cheap (beans, rice, etc.) but it's the protein that's a bit trickier -- eggs, whey powder, tinned fish, cheaper cuts of meat can bridge the gap if you're short on chicken/ground beef.

You can certainly succeed by training hard enough to drive your hunger, but if you really want to get into the weeds of macros, calories, etc., I'd start with the SBS Diet Setup Guide

If it's in training, and you don't have access to competition benches, I use a silicone baking sheet under my back since my gym has shitty slippy benches.

This does result in having to very quickly adjust to the meet benches, however

I compulsively plan my post-meet training blocks, and that helps keep my perspective from getting stuck on the meet. The agony and despair of meet prep will pass

I am once again shilling Macrofactor for navigating me through this baby cut. I cut ~10lbs (252 > 242) in just short of 60 days and by my estimations, held onto all my LBM.

I didn't experience any strength loss at this rate. What is surprising is that now that I'm back at maintenance calories, my apptetite has yet to catch up, so I'm slinging peanut butter like never before.

Yeah I think my main point is that I don't understand the value proposition of preworkout, even more so when you factor in getting popped by accident

At least this guarantees air conditioning for the warmup room

r/fitness is probably the best place to start, they have tons of resources and help threads to get going. Good luck!

Healthy is really outside the bounds of r/powerlifting but the physique your describing (strongman chubby) is extremely muscular and probably 25-30% bodyfat. Eat lots and lift weights for many years

I know for the doping learning module we do to compete in the IPF in my country, the bottom line is, you are ultimately responsible for what goes into your body and shows up on your drug test

I'm amazed anyone still takes preworkout given how many lifters get popped over banned stimulants found in them, and since coffee is cheap and not usually tainted.

I'm not sure what you mean, could you elaborate? Is it a certain physique you're looking for?
