Best gear to use for powerlifting and strength.

if you havent sent back your entry form, im sorry it will be too late to enter the Olympia meet... the deadline was the 5th... but there is always next year!...
in rancho i set a state record open raw squat with 424 and someone just bested it by 1/2kg i think... lol... by the time the Modesto meet comes around i should be able to beat it... i made a 4th attempt in rancho for the american record 450ish but it was too much for me that day... hopefully i can give it a better run...
i still have the state record dead and total... and having improved my bench and dead i should be able to kick it up a few notches...
i sure wish i had a coach... im pretty much self-taught besides the info on this site... i would love to find a team to lift with but its hard with my work schedule because i work nights... and most teams that i know of train in the evenings...
if you can get steve to let you into the Olympia roster it would be sweet... there will be some cash prizes i believe... i will be in the running with my deadlift, hoping for a 550+ pull @148...
i would like to get into single ply lifting next year if possible, to do the full meet i would have to...
the deadlift benefits the least from the gear so i was able to qualify raw... i will be at a slight disadvantage going against guys in gear but that is OK... i had a DL suit in the past but i never really got anything out of it... its since been STOLEN from my gym bag, but i would like to try it out again as i feel my technique has improved enough to benefit from it...

Just found out my next meet is going to be December 4th in Vegas at the IPL world put on by Steve. i think it runs the 28th of November through the 4th of december. I will be competing in bench and dead and also push/pull total. So I have a good 4 solid months of training to get my stats up.

i will have to look into that one for myself... i will have a ton of vacation time in november coming my way...
i have never been to vegas; ever... so if the wife and i have fun, im sure she will want to go back... do you know if they will have a 'raw' division? i would love to do a full meet, but i dont have the funds at the time to buy all the geer... hoping to go single ply next year, i do have a shirt that ive used once like a year ago, pretty sure its too small for me though...

winny could be a good oral to run for a few weeks before the comp as well. especially if you have a low dose of deca in their to thelp keeps the joints feeling nice.

good luck.. get that record back!

Yes they will have a raw devision. It would be nice to meet you if you do go. Host hotel is the golden nugget. My Wife just got our room reserved
