"Their bench is not 450. Their full range bench is 450." Um... Ah... Em... Isn't that... Erm...

All raw powerlifters should arrange to borrow some ply and at least try it. Its FUN.. unracking 60/70kg plus over your squat max in some predators and taking it for a ride is a total buzz. Equipped is the " genuine" powerlifting, its what came in the middle, the renaissance period.. At one time it was all there was

Yeh so easy to find somebody to lend you a $500 bench shirt that is basically disposable

@HkFinn83 I've loaned people gear and lent gear, they're only disposable if you're pushing a grand plus... I've got a multi ply poly Squat suit that was second hand and its still good. Never paid over 100 for a second hand bench shirt either

I always saw geared lifting in the same way that people see funny car and top fuel drag racing. The engines themselves are incredibly powerful (like the lifters themselves with their raw numbers) but it’s the aero, the tires, the nitro methane (the gear) that make them run 4-5 second times as opposed to 7-9 second times. 7-9 second drag times are incredible but geared lifters are chasing the 4-5 seconds.

The mental barrier is 100% a thing with the band shirts. I've got an F8 2ply, now a Mendy 3ply on the way, and my biggest 'jumps' in numbers have been from being confident and comfortable more than physical improvement. PB in 2ply currently 660lb but gunning for 800lb in the mendy next year.

You could always try it before bashing it? If you were handed the keys to a formula 1 car....would you take it for a spin?

I respect it, and don’t question for one moment how strong equipped lifters are, but I will never understand it. You can squat 1200lbs with the aid of a suit, I can squat 5000lbs with the aid of a forklift truck. I just don’t see the point.

hmmm vlad alhazov squatted 1157 pounds with nothing more than wraps and a belt wouldn't be surprised if he eventually hits 1200 so you don't always need a suit to hit huge numbers

For me, seeing Powerlifting in the olympics is a dream. Strength is by far the most important tenet of sport and is only represented by Weightlifting, which is looking ominously close to getting thrown out. It is inconceivable that no strength sports are represented. I see equipped lifting as one of the major hurdles to getting powerlifting in and it has been a fundamental factor, along with drugs, in splintering the sport into so many federations.

@@danredmond5589 weightlifting isn’t even as strength dominant as powerlifting. It’s not even close…there is way more technique and skill required to weight lift at the Olympic level. Powerlifting on an Olympic level would just be a worse drug problem for Olympics than weightlifting

@@danredmond5589 If you think weightlifting is corrupt, wait until powerlifting gets involved. It will ruin the accessibility of the sport.

Think of it like pole vaulting vs high jumping

Jimmy was really good in poly before the banded shirt. He's the best bencher of all time even without the banded shirt. I think the banded shirts haven't caught on in popularity just yet and some of that is due to federation participation. I think its more that than mentality. Federations get rid of the "unlimited" title and allow them in normal competition I think we'll see some changes. AJ is spot on using the shirt tho. The differences are substantial and learning curve far less for the banded shirt but you still have to have really good technique to get the most out of it. IMO, its how shirts should have been all along. Poly suits much easier to learn than poly shirts. Who wants to spend a long time learning a shirt? Most just wanna lift.

For me, you can train any way you enjoy. However,in competitions, no belt, knee wraps, or wrist wraps to wrap around the bar, only chalk for grip. That would seem to be a level playing field. As well as representing true strength.
