Random question here.

Are all lifts that appear in this contest supposed to be raw only?

The reason that I ask is that I am now competing in a geared federation.

Can I post meet lifts and totals or do all lifts have to be raw?

Does using a belt count as raw?

Has anyone posted any lifts with any gear at all?

Belt? Wraps? Bench Shirts? Squat Suits? Deadlift Suits?

I will not be testing my raw lifts very often anymore. I haven't worked upto anything less than a triple in weeks and the outlook doesn't call for anything less than raw triples in the near future.

Personally I don't mind anyone including their suited lifts, this is a PLing comp. afterall. MAybe just make sure you mention which are suited and I'll put a * by your total or something.

Someone is going to give Smashius a gun? The world is becoming a more frightening place. Careful you don't bend the trigger on those things, big guy. Or the barrel either, for that matter.

Belts and wraps of any sort should not be considered gear. Only shirts and suits.

I can't agree with that. Knee wraps add a fair bit of pop off the bottom. They don't do shit to help you lock out the weight but they help out of the hole.

I wonder if I can get a 20m wrap and wrap my entire core with it then add a belt.

w00t stable.

I just meant in terms of legality. Don't raw feds allow belts and wraps?

I think RAW is belt only.

chalk for the DL

For this competition i think that belts, wrist wraps and chalk should be allowed. The belt and wraps are just an added level of stability and safety which don't directly give you greater numbers, chalk helps though, but ohwell your still lifting it yourself.

A seperate column for geared lifts would be cool to have, just an open class as i don't see alot of people using full gear.
