Exactly. You should subscribe to west side barbell. Louie is the king of power lifting

yeah...I gotta look into it. I was looking for westside barbell a bit back and it was like 4-5 smaller dudes that all looked like they were in their 20's and no Louie or any big weights.Probably just training westside style so they labeled it as such. I don't follow ALL his methods exactly but been training with some good powerlifters and have upped my big 3 more in the last 5 months or so more than the last two years. A lot of band work and 1-3 rm with variation of lift...I'd really like a gym with a GHR...

Raw...I never used gear in my life. I just started using knee wraps. Still breaking em in and learning to wrap properly.I don't look down on equipped but its to much of a science in itself...I've gotten my dead and bench up super quick with band work. Speed work w/ bands and some reverse band and heavy band work cycled in and out. I have not used anything for squats yet but will soon as Im probably doing a meet in early summer...

I agree totally. I used equipment for 5 yrs and I'm done with it... loose a pound and it doesn't work right.. I'm training raw now for over a yr and love it

Yeah so much work breaking them in fitting exactly right and then you could lose to someone who just had a better shirt or knew how to use one more efficiently. Then squat dead suits briefs ect.. I found the sling shot to be fun for occasional use though...Usually after heavy regular bench ass more weight and overload top end..
Raw seems to be making a comeback. In RPS they have all equpiied raw ect and most of all the lifters went raw. Funny as its Gene's organization and If I guees right he only benched geared and never did other lifts in comp...Bench "specialist"

you are correct on Gene.. ya raw is making a comeback.. I also use my sling shot after heavy bench days. I have thousands in equipment im thinking its time to sell before it isn't worth anything
