Powerlifting Rant

[DeKlabBeers]

Powerlifting is by far the dumbest sport of all time (even dumber than basketball).

Here is powerlifting in nutshell:

Step 1: buy expensive wraps and bench shirts

Step 2: practice putting on those wraps and bench shirts

Step 3: practice lifting weights

Step 4: burn expensive diesel to drive to another school

Step 5: have your school give another school a check so your kids can lift someone else's weights

Step 6: have your coach turn his hat backwards and try yell "UP!" louder than any other coach (bonus points if it startles small children)

Step 7: hire judges that know super obscure rules that are different for boys and girls

Step 8: feed the kids that have starved themselves in order to "make weight"

Step 9: get on the bus and drive back to the locker room that is located right next to a perfectly good weight room

Here is my powerlifting rant:

The kids would be better served as athletes by these schools having a wrestling program than a powerlifting program.

Good lord yes. I will never understand how or why wrestling isn't huge in East Texas.
