Considering a USPF meet in July

[Mike_Rojas]

I'm considering a USPF meet in July. I've never competed before. What equipment would you recommend? I don't have anything right now (not even a belt!).

Hey man. I asked the same question of some people since I'm going to compete at an APF meet in February. I was told Karin's DD for bench, and Frantz canvas suit and double poly Frantz briefs.

But I don't know what all will be allowed in USPF.

Here's some links:

I pull conventional, so I may just go with a plain old singlet. Also thinking of getting some deadlift slippers, since they're cheap.

Thanks slobberknocker

Oh and for knee wraps I think I'm gonna get Inzer too.

Do you need to wear a singlet over your shirt when you bench?

Yes. All respectable feds require a one-piece lifting suit for all lifts. Check out www.houseofpain.com----They have decent prices on singlets, and all kinds of sizes.

Mike, July's a long way away. You could also try to find something maybe 3-4 months from now to also compete at.

Yeah, I would like that. I just didn't find much online in California.
