Lifting has no bullshit. If 100kg is on the ground and you pick it up, you have picked up 100kg. No bullshit.I'm getting really bitter about lifting of late. Its something I love to do, but the amount of bullshit in it is amazing.

Remember Oliver, the Iron never lies
What has this got to do with lifting?
Yeah it might be photoshopped but who cares? He's not that big to begin with, and I can totally see his left arm looking like that in reality. The other one is smaller because it's further away, angled, in shadow, and covered in tats which destroy depth perception- but if it's been shopped, who gives a shit? That's the game. Anything to create the perception of perfection. If you care that much, then you're still too caught up in it.
Move on, accept that it only happens in magazines, and focus on being a real man.
Powerlifting also has its bullshit:

comparatively less so however.
I care. Like most dumb 18 year olds I got into this because I wanted to look 'jacked', it was by sheer luck that I fell in amongst a few powerlifting circles.
Nick admittedly is still impressive but thats a very different physique to the shoped bs earlier. Its just pathetic that a lifestyle that has so much to offer is dominated by an industry that specializes in bs and playing off people's insecurities.
I"m sure that things like rubber &/or foam plates are introduced for photo shoots for bodybuilders in some situations, to make their 3 plate bench, while 4% body fat look even more impressive!

Thats the entirety of the marketing industry. Get used to it and move past it.
