Louie Simmons prophesised that raw lifting would go the same way as multiply with equipment gradually helping more and more, and it seems that stiffer sleeves and now the kabuki dl bar gives some credit to his prediction.

This is 100% true, the numbers of old are going to get blown away as time goes by and the equipment advancements continue.

The comments on the deadlifts in Russian championships are spot on, It is a shame that it goes into the record books without asterisks too - the average person isn't going to know that Vlad used a 5 inch wide 15mmm thick belt for his 1157 squat or that whilst Yury was repeatedly pulling 970 and 980 lbs on the Russian set ups his max in American comps was 925lbs. With the addition of the new knee sleeves and the kabuki bar it really does seem that untested raw is slowly moving towards the same mindset which turned geared powerlifting into a meme.

It makes a huge difference with those plates. All of these changes are going to drastically alter the numbers. It's just like Cailer said that squat depth is another way that the numbers get skewed.

Very interesting conversation about the discrepancies in equipment and although these can’t be discerned by most spectators the thing that CAN be is the range of motion that passes nowadays. It’s out of hand. Would love to hear from you and other powerlifters about it Pete

I love that Cailer just "felt like it" and getting that far just came naturally because it felt good, that's exactly how I train. I feel like nowadays lots of people think they NEED external stimulus, to go to a "dark place," or otherwise in order to succeed.

It’s sad that when you go deep down the PED route and red line yourself you’re beat up in 5-10 years. If you take care of your body 30 is just getting started. Plenty of drug free lifters lifting at very high levels into their 40’s and beyond. Just odd hearing two guys talk about the good old days of their prime that are barely 30 years old

Yes, PEDs make you age very very fast. Not in terms of appearance (that also) but your body accrues much more injuries. Partially because you get so much stronger on them, so higher risk of injury, then you can rehab them much faster and you tend to jump back into heavy training too soon. It's basically a combination of multiple bad choices of training that makes enhanced lifters not last that long. Some of them are working around that route (Example, John Haack)

But we don't watch football or basketball only to see records be broken that just a plus, we watch to see wins the championship. It's competitiveness and competition that makes sports. Records is just the cherry on top to see how great people can be. And stand as a record not the standard.

Quarter life crisis... It's really a thing. I think everyone goes through it to some degree. I was experiencing it around age 25 to 28 before I even heard the term. I'm 33 now and a lot more relax and content with life but still experience crisis from time to time due to career direction or lack thereof. Then another crisis comes around middle age. The infamous midlife crisis.

I totally get that sentiment of the fire just being gone. I hit my peak at 22 (pretty sad, init?) and then just kept having 1-2 injuries every year for 4 years (first one even took me out for a half year). Even though I eventually learned how to prevent that same area from breaking over and over again, the passion just wasn't the same anymore (when I was 22, PL was my life). Also bc my dream was always to break records and while I was 2-3 good years away from the natty all-time when I was 22 (I actually know a lot of people who have hit that total now, it was only just over 700 kg, after all ^^), we all know what happened to totals in RAW PL in the past decade. There is no way I'm ever going to make up for those lost years. I'm glad that I found lightweight strongman now. For one, I think it is easier to excel there bc it's a smaller sport (the best tested lifters in my weight class are certainly stronger than the best untested strongmen (although some of the elite are actually natty, which is insane to me), if not by much), haha, but it also gives me a new road to walk where I can keep improving from the get go. With powerlifting, eventually, I just always felt like I was lesser than my former self. But in strongman, I even surpassed my overhead numbers from the olden days, so that's great to have.

No clue, but I'd be curious as well.

So the consequence of Raw division are finally coming to a head. It took PL from a niche underground sport to a household name. And with that will come much more controversy good and bad. But there needed to be a better rule agreement from the beginning of Raw. In a sport with such narrow scope of competition, small changes in equipment make a massive difference to competitive performance and results. In football you can give a WR shoes that make him run faster but it wont mean anything if he doesn't run the route right or the QB cant throw or O line cant block. Theres so many variables. In PL 2 lifters in the same class lifting the same weight in training you give 1 better gear and they will win. As far as equipment is concerned i think RPS has the best division set up. Raw Classic (bare knee), Raw Modern (sleeves/wraps), Single, Multi, Unlimited. They had good foresight to break raw up into 2 categories. I consider myself an enthusiast and I've competed raw, equipped, stiff bars, specialty, calibrated kilos, hundred lbs plates, and after a while thats just become part of the fun. Showing up to a good local meet and being competitive with the lifters that show up that day using the same equipment ssame weights in that very moment is the most fun I've ever had in PL.

Cailer is really cool

This why I think tested powerlifting is better for the sport. The usapl and ipf is far consistent compared to untested from here in the states to international. If you compete in the ipf or usapl you know that you're using a PowerBar which isn't going to differ from a brand new to regularly used one besides knurling.

@@PeteRubish that's also true. Like I enjoy untested powerlifting but as a whole it's been so uneventful ever since 2015-2016. Almost every single big named Lifter like Eric lilliebridge, Steve Johnson, yourself, Cailer, Dan Green, Jeremy Hamilton, Rob hall, Steve gentili and so many others. Aren't actively competing and are either very hurt or moving on to other things. Back when Dan, Kevin and yury battled out in boss of bosses 3 was great. I feel we almost won't get see that again in untested. Plus vast majority of people that like untested only value untested based of their records rather than lifters themselves. Rather in tested we enjoy based on current competition rather than just records. Winning nationals or world's is valued almost to records but to achieve those things you don't have to be completely health or break records.

Btw the ipf they use the same bar for all 3 lifts and the rules are very clear its really not that hard..

Stiff bar sucks if you are taller like myself imo but kabuki is also crap

Just have the bar be the same at every meet. If that's the kabuki bar now I guess you're gonna have to nag your gym owner to get a kabuki bar. I actually dislike sleeved squatting because of this shit with the Inzer sleeves and the fact that people will get sleeves that are 3 sizes too small and call their squats raw. When it's done with wraps you can clearly see that it's with wraps, you don't have to check the size to see if it's actually the correct size for their knee measurement, and it's more weight so it's automatically cooler.

Why can’t the competing powerlifters, and organizations come together and just agree on bar specs. So regardless of brands they have to meet these set requirements.
