Anybody Into physical culture?

Its fine and dandy, you still gotta move the fucking weight. People who use gear appropriately are still fucking strong, and the gear probably helped them to get that strong with added safety. Its not like gear is forced upon people, you want to lift raw you can.

I just dont like the fact that some raw feds will allow a belt but not knee sleeves.

also, gear helps the deadlift very little, especially conventional stance.

I feel pretty much the same, some multiply stuff is a little dodgy though. At the end of the day I don't compete so it doesn't really matter what I think.

The women pressing is awesome, after training with my sister she was always a lot lot weaker with the pushing movements compared to her pulling/squatting. I was under the impression this was just a females body makeup but that shoots it in the foot a little...
