I like my nut sack too much to even attempt to sqeeze my boys into groove briefs.

If you are asking about, and worried about failing a drug test, then you're not clean. Sorry, but face the truth.

Juvenile.

Get your opener at a respectible weight, maybe close to your PR but still safe, and then go for it on the second and third attempts. If you want to play it safe then get out of powerlifting and start playing checkers.

Inzer's QC sucks. It will take a couple of trys to get the right shirt. But when you get one that fits, you have the best equipment in the business in my opinion.

Agreed. I love mine. And you can pull your shirt down yourself and just snap the lever in place. I don't even need an assistant for that. The only thing I miss is that I liked the look of the old leather belts. Kind of reminds me of those guys playing football with leather helments. I kept...

Some legal supplements will contained banned items, that's true. E.g. stay away of DHEA, which you can buy off the shelf at a chain drug store. Check the banned substance list to be sure. You can get that off any of the drug tested feds websites. AAU, USAPL, etc. Most of the lists contained...

I have never seen PLers trash talking other lifters. Everybody who gets on that plateform has the group behind them 100% as far as I can tell. I've seen crowds come to their feet as a 70 year old man fights up a lift. In that regard it is a very positive experience.

Always tell your wife the truth. It will save a lot of heart ache in the long run.

I don't dream about meets, but I do dream about training. Luckily I haven't droped any weights on myself in my dreams. If I did I probably would just die right there of a big MI and never wake up.

I thought about doing Olympic style lifting, but concluded that sport is for young men. Powerlifting is much more suited to the master lifter. Got for it if you wish. I've done some searching around and you don't find as many meets as the PLing world.

Do the meet if you really want to. Go with your gut. But with that said, I have done meets where I was recovering from surgery, and to tell you the truth, I'm sorry I did it. Now I have those sub par numbers as part of my legacy. Patience is a viture.

I always train in a cage when I bench. I can still touch my chest, but can flatten out and have it hit the side bars if needed. Plus my head is untouchable. I think if you are a serious powerlifter and don't bench inside the safety of a cage, then you're justing asking to take one in the...

The first meet is great. Hard to duplicate that feeling of getting on the platform for that very first time.

Take all the trib your little heart desires, and it will not make you fail a drug test. No way No how. Recommended does is a gram a day.
