SCOTT KUZMA 510 POUND BENCH PRESS 08/05/06 |
|
"Powerlifting should be nice and simple. Lift big weights on three of the most basic lifts you can find-the squat, bench press and deadlift-and get strong, really strong in the process. You don't have to have the speed of a sprinter or the flexibility of a gymnast or the coordination of a thrower to do these lifts, and you can do them with the most primitive of equipment, so why have things gotten so complicated? A quagmire of multiple federations, conflicting rules, and burgeoning support gear have contributed to the confusion, and the result is that some place along the way, the simplicity got lost."
