@tomlennon1000 I totally agree with you on your arguments, all valid points, and I to loathe powerlifting in its current form, equipment, fat slobs, having the shortest possible range of motion etc.. Olympic lifters are much more impressive imo.

@JobforaQuinnBoy1 .....coming from a guy who likes selena gomez videos. lol just shut the fuck up already you're taking my original comment way out of context. i'm more of a powerlifting fan than bodybuilding, but i think its more impressive when powerlifters are massive and still have low bodyfat numbers. thats all im trying to say. this guy is an absolute monster and i have tons of respect for...and actually i could give a fuck less about my forearms and biceps at a kegger, i dont even drink

God some of you guys are fucking daft. Just because it provides stopping power and support in the hole , does not mean it just takes 2-400 lbs out of the equation. Regardless of the equipment, 13000 lbs is still 1300 lbs compressing the absolute FUCK out of your back. You still have to support it balance it, take it to depth, hopefully make it back upthen rack it. I love when raw fans bash gear. Nobody using gear bashes raw fans. Try 300 lbs over your 1rm, tell me how u feel.

@nardo363636 You're trying to complicate a simple question: How much can a given athlete lift? The only way to answer the question is to have the athlete lift a given weight without any external assistance. Why should it matter if the external assistance is provided by a spotter or if it is provided by a piece of equipment? If you need help, then you can't lift the weight. It's that simple.

@healthhavencom Those are rarities, doesn't make them more real. Yeah their extremely impressive raw lifting is also with a belt and in some cases wraps. I agree one and two play suits are getting ridiculous but powerlifting is performed with a weight belt. Your going to tell me Ed Coan, Larry Pacifico,Ted Arcidi and Stan Efferding, legendary raw powerlifters, didnt perform "real" lifts because they had belts on? A belt is a part of the sport.... its not olympic lifting...
