lol, Tim. Some have done both. My pal Joe Ladnier has had a distinguished lifting career, and is competing in Masters Nats over 40. Was 9th last year, and looks like he will do better this year.
Never say never, Frank!

Well, I do like THIER diet better ;D
Wouldn't YOU like to show up at registration for your next contest, with a large pizza box in your hand?
Anyways....... I have met a lot of people that started one way, then went to the "other side".
I think they can be complimentary.....with cautions!
anybody else?

One of my big power lifting friends tell me that one day I'll do a meet with him. I promised him that one day in the offseason I would do a RAW meet with him. We'll see.

Let me think about it:
(Powerlifter)
Eating whatever you want...
Lifting impressive heavy weights…
Buying only one size of clothes, XXL…
Waiting 5 mins between sets...
No tanning, shaving or dehydration…
Not being depressed because of low carbs…
(Bodybuilder)
Versus Looking good at the beach!
Bodybuilding rocks!!! ;D
