This question makes me want to bite someone’s head off. But then I remember it’s one of those questions that also requires me to take a step back and reflect on how I got to where I am today. That’s an extremely valid question and one I haven’t answered in many years.

When I entered these very senior divisions, there was no bar, no standard, no records. Now there is.

This doesn’t only apply to multi-ply lifters. How you add equipment in training should have a sequence to it, even if you compete raw.

If you aren’t wising up to the value of gear for raw lifting, Joe will choke you out with a pair of Krait Knee Wraps.

If you are new to gear, respect not only the gear but the inordinately heavier weights that you will attempt.

Over the past twenty years in powerlifting, the squat suit has changed in many ways.

So, you’ve just spent a day’s pay on a great piece of powerlifting apparel, whether it’s a squat/deadlift suit or a bench shirt.
