    Question Question about Raw SPF meet

    I have my first powerlifting competition and I am confused about the rules in the spf. It says you cannot wear lifting Briefs in the raw division and from there the rules talk about briefs.

    I bought a pair of polyester briefs for this meet specifically, they don't offer any performance (i bought them at Walmart). Will I be DQed for wearing these? I know other feds don't allow regular briefs but the spf rules don't seem clear to me. Thanks

    The SPF rules are less than clear. I believe the references in the rules are to lifting briefs.

    From the few SPF meets I've gone to I have not seen them overly concerned about clothing, not that I have seen any rules violations.

    As for underwear, I wear cotton briefs. Just to be clear, that is underwear with no leg portion. If you are wearing something similar I do not think you need to fear being DQ'd. If you are concerned, ask Jesse (or the meet promoter). He is a straight-shooter and will tell you if you are OK.

    Which meet are you competing at? I am prepping for the Ironman Classic in March.

    Agreed. I don't really know the SPF rules very well but surely they're talking about power briefs, not normal underwear.

    These are lifting briefs. (an example) (swap the underscore with a dot)

    Your poly briefs are not a problem. What they do not want is raw lifters to hide lifting briefs under their singlet. thats how u get DQ'ed.

    I'm competing in the proving ground classic. The briefs do have leggings, I only wear boxer briefs. They definitely aren't liftingBriefs, I just find them to be the most comfortable

    Don't wear underwear with legs. The problem with boxer briefs is that they can look like lifting briefs. Depending upon how tight your singlet is the outline of your briefs will be visible. Do you really want to have to prove to a judge that the boxer briefs you are wearing are not lifting briefs?

    Just wear some tighty-whities or go commando.
