Im thinking about making the transition. When prepping for a meet am I required to grow as big a beard as possible? It seems like a lot if the meets are a combo powerlifting/awesome beard contest. Just trying to get some insight.

Hmm, well I know that PL's don't man groom. Don't ask how I know it's not pretty. I'm not sure about the beard.

No beard needed, I don't think if any or many of the best have facial hair or much of it.

Everyone has a beard Spongy. Some just wear theirs on the inside.

You've been "considering" this too long. Get me your 1RM's and lets do your program.

I think after your first real heavy squat or dead, a beard just forms. You have no choice.
