Any updates on a spring time USPA or USAPL meet not counting that crossfit raw only garbage

I know that both are going to run spring meets but no definite dates on either. BUT you know that over 95% of the lifters at BOTH are going to be raw ***s. I looked at the roster for this weekend's USPA meet and only 4 of 25 lifters are single ply (and two of those are high schoolers I know that are in champion suits.) It is what it is. You gotta go to the big meets for big time competition on the equipped side....I hate it as much as you do.

I shall seriously consider it after Raw Nats. No guarantees though.

Do it for real ****er. Also no need to buy loose and tight like I said earlier. Just buy loose, get used to it, then alter the fukk out of it.

People really need to stop supporting that company

ESPN2 ran the full version Saturday night I believe.

Hey, quick questions. What belt is stan using while squatting in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=PuCcqi-krhk#!

Looks like a generic double prong 13mm belt that is super broken in.

I have no problem with raw lifting, or even raw only federations. What I have a problem with is these ****ing crossfit gyms doing raw only USAPL meets. If you are going to do a raw only meet, have it sanctioned by ****ing 100% raw.

I promised Taps I'd do the USPA one but if USAPL is anywhere on the eastern half of the state and they are close to the same date I'll do that one

What about if you take gear while in gear? Is that like practically being raw? I learned things cancel out in math

I'm going to a gun show saturday for an ar15 and a smith and wesson 629. But if they aren't sold out of all the good stuff, then I'll be so surprised.

Well, back to my search for new shorts then.

Don't waste your time. The gun culture is in full panic buying mode right now. Just wait a few months until the panic dies down a bit.

yea but it's right down the road, so I wanna check it out. If they got what I want for the right price then good I'll buy it; if they don't, no harm, atleast I learned that they don't.

What sort of flexibility/mobility drills should I be doing to improve my squat?

That depends on what needs to be improved upon.

I think the hate was more directed towards Crossfit rather than raw lifting. Except for Judge, he hates on raw all the time.

raw lifting is for ****gs...raw RAW is where its at...

[whitessp]

I have issues getting deeper into the hole and maintaining a flat back at the bottom. I'm assuming this is a hip issue, mainly because I know my hips are always tight as ****.

judge loves raw he told me

100%, i think the gear holds him together.

These days with his hip injury or whatever it is, it definitely does. He can't even squat without briefs on. Too much pounding to his hips over the years noimsayin.

This will help you push your knees out so you can hit depth:

1) The belief that all we do is just throw gear on and magically lift more, when that couldn't be further from the truth.
2) The superior, holier-than-thou attitude of many raw lifters. Which is often hypocritical since those same people wear wraps and a belt.


Almost makes me want to be an USAPL judge. "Nope, sorry. That squat broke parallel, but it wasn't deep enough, fast enough, and it looked like you struggled to get the lift. Red."

I think geared lifting is cool, it adds another dimension to the sport. Lift raw for a few years, then throw gear on and suddenly not only are the lifts different but so is the training. I'm almost certain there's a big thrill aspect as well handling loads far greater then your capacity. I think its stupid to shun gear away from powerlifting, and find it funny that "100% RAW" feds even exist. I do think its dumb tho for people new to lifting to jump into gear just because a lift/thier total is stuck for a month.

Thanks for that one coach.

Oh lawd. If there were more geared lifters in the fam, this would cause a sh!t storm.

I think I'm too much of a pu$$y for gear.
Bench shirt 1 - Arian 0.
Knee wraps 1 - Arian 0.

[getout87]

gear is just fun. i like the technical aspect, i like the pressure, hell sometimes I like the pain. A good gangster knee wrap is awesome.
