could someone please tell me wtf is the purpose of special clothing being worn by competitive lifters in a competition to see who can lift the most weight....? i just find it kind of stupid is all. dont you?
i understand people wearing a nano-suit like in that crysis game which would be used in a war time situation for augmenting strength or in the future construction workers wearing funny robotic servo assisted suits so they can lift really heavy stuff but people wearing these funny shirts in a weightlifting competition that improves how much weight you can lift i dont really understand is it so the sport is funner to watch by people? seeing some guy lift huge weights? or is there some kind of extra skill to it?

This is how the search function works:
Searched for 'suit, cheating', just because I, like everyone else, am sick of people who not only are too lazy to use the search function, but because of their lamenes start the same-old, same-old over and over again.

I rarely post here unless I have something constructive or helpful to add, but WTF. You my nerd friend have to drag your ass away from the XBox and WoW and start getting out there.Originally Posted by F1eld
If you really want to know what lifting in a geared federation is about how about you attend a meet as a spectator or even better a competitor.
Lifting using straps, wraps, suits and shirts may seem like its stupid, cheating ect ect but when every individual competing has the same opportunity to use the equipment readily available it is just common dogfu,ck not to use it.
If you dont like it lift in a raw federation.
Oh and benefits to lifting with the equipment : everything weak**** said.
End rant.

Very true! I will only light my farts with a spark I started from striking a rock together with flint! Lighters are so not RAW!!Originally Posted by BLARZEE
But seriously OP........ Search function."Clit stimulation if your fingers are dry is not a good idea. The clit is more sensitive than the underside of a guy's penis, apparently.
Good rule of thumb: make sure you're fingers aren't dry before they go anywhere NEAR her clit/pussy.
Also, besides myself, maybe 2-3 of you have actually done anything like this before..."

i dont even technically lift the weight. i stare at the weight for a few minutes, and i consider it a failed attempt if i cant complete the lift telepathically. so far i have yet to complete a lift. but thats fine because the way i do it is the only true way to lift, lifting with your legs or your hands is just cheating and i dont respect anyone who does it.

You should do more standing abs!

i still dont get it. is there any actual reason for using funny suits when in a lifting competition? do you have to learn how to use the suit properly? is there something i am missing? you say alot of people come on here bashing gear but then your all defensive about it like why do you care?
