I know the participation rates have skyrocketed since Crossfit became popular, but wondering how people got into it before.
Have you seen Olympic lifting offered in many gyms? Even now, I see it infrequently in gyms that aren't associated with Crossfit somehow. Definitely didn't see it at all 10 years ago.Based on what I've seen in gyms over the years, generally start in powerlifting, but give up when you're not that great at getting stronger and still want to do something with a barbell.

Are you implying that WL’ers are PL washouts?
Lifting the same weights ad infinitum under the veil of "technique work" is easier than grinding your way to new SQ/BP/DL PRs, yes.

I'm sure he would of killed it at Crossfit!..
Many weightlifters could go into powerlifting meets and dominate the squat records, even high bar.
Oh yeah and Low bar is for fat overweight immobile fucks who can't break parallel and squat 1000lbs at an SPF meet.

Well I guess those PL’ing washouts will have to settle competing for Olympic medals, lol.
Ok, so high-level WL’ers don’t start out as PL’ers. I completely agree.Those guys don't medal lol.
