Deadlifting

[willemx3]

what is the difference between a normal deadlift and a raw deadlift?

[CellTechAbuse]

well the way you asked the question sounds like your having trouble here let me help you

raw deadlift = no straps, gloves, chalk or belt

normal deadlift = a normal deadlift, all the above can be used


edit: there are several types of deadlifts such as sumo and etc, raw basically means your not using any accessories to aid you during the lift

This pretty much, although I'm fairly certain that using gloves/chalk doesn't make your lift non-raw. I think it only applies to equipment that will actually increase the amount you can lift or change the lift in some other way.

straps, gloves, chalk or belt can be used on a raw deadlift. Raw means that a deadlift suit can not be used, that's the difference.

What is “unequipped” in the IPF:
Belt, wrist wraps, single-ply neoprene knee sleeves without attaching and/or
tightening mechanisms like Velcro, clips or straps will be IPF’s definition of
“unequipped” or RAW.

Yup. different fed have different ways to consider what is and is not raw. Typically anything that does not assist you in actually doing the lift, like a suit, is considered raw.

I'm looking at competing in the RPS this fall and they have two types of raw. Raw modern, which allows for knee wraps. Their raw classic is just belt and wrist wraps.

Though I would consider knee wraps to be 'gear' as they alone can add 60+ lbs onto your squat

First I have to say that the definitions change depending on which fed you are looking at.

But as a general rule;

Naked raw = no equipment of any kind including straps, belt and so on.

Raw = non suited, ie. belt, straps is allowed

Equipped = everything is allowed including suits.

straps are never OK.
