So I think I might be the lone powerlifter here... So I'm curious to hear some responses from the BB guys. I have just ordered a Titan F6 split back bench shirt, super centurion briefs, inzer power pants and Metal King Pro Deadlift Suit and will begin training for equipped powerlifting competition...

I know I'm excited but what do you guys think about equipped lifting?

POB i work out in one of the most well respected powerlifting gyms out there. From what i learned all the powerlifters do both raw and equiped. I see guys put on suits everyday to bench,DD,and squat. I have nothing against it what so ever. I first hand have seen people put pretty crazy numbers up equiped. I mean recently i know a guy that went out and bought a tighter suit and he pulled a state DD record that has not been touched for 12 yrs. And record was recorded. It is just another key tool in the eyes of powerlifter imo.

POB Gfunky is a powerlifter and I think he has a meet this weekend. G I'm sure you'll chime in. I have never tried PLing but I do love to lift heavy (especially squats and deads)...as far as the equipped thing goes I don't see a problem with it, because even with the suits, etc the strongest guy still wins :)
