Isn't a lot of powerlifting very different from other lifting? I don't know as much as some of you guys, but I thought that the way powerlifters did some of the exercises was quite a bit different from people who are just weight training.
I work out at home and have a power rack and free weights. I have no doubt that if I lifted at the gym I would feel like an idiot though! One of the most annoying things about the sport/hobby/whole thing is what seems like a constant need to judge and critique other peoples exercises and techniques. I really like this thread because it seems like people here are giving genuine advice without that.
