So apparently some power lifters try to get obese so that they do not have to lift the bar as far from their body to the required location for competition when doing bench press and this obesity can make it easier to count a bench press without getting stronger
Competition tends to ruin the actual original goal that existed before the competition system was created

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
When you focus on one thing people will find shortcuts to reach desired goal.
