How do you kick the crap out of a gear whore?
Pick a fight with him, then clock him in the jaw while he’s putting on his shirt but before he gets his knees, elbows and wrists wrapped for the fight.
Dude what suit are you pulling in? hahah. Do you pull sumo or conventional?[/quote]
I pull sumo in an Ace Squatter, no briefs. When I did the gym 600, I was pulling around 550 raw, so I probably get more than 25lb carryover, but I missed the 600 in a meet badly, so who knows? The lockout is my problem on DL, so I’m not maximizing my gear.

Yep, if you know the powerlifting scene, you know Jason Pegg. Jason is a war veteran who suffered an injury in combat that nearly cost him his arm. It’s amazing he even has his arm let alone lift any weight with it. Most people who hurt their vaginas and complain about wearing gear can’t lift what Jason lifts with a complete body.
On the raw vs gear, you are going to be able to lift more weight with gear, but you have to have very good raw strength to put up great gear numbers. Try 1000 pounds on your back. When you unrack the weight, the gear is not giving you any help standing there. Unless you’ve worked with it, it’ll break your skinny raw asses just trying to unrack it. RAW = Pussys who can’t handle gear weight.

unfortunately for you there is no “standing with weight” lift. i hate to break it to you, but if you’re not a man without gear, you aren’t going to be a man with it.

Just for the record I meet Jason a few month ago at his gym in Muncie IN.hell of a good guy.He helped me clean up my shit squat form.The only reason I brought up the 565 is because he doesnt bench due to his arm.He even jokes on Elitefts about his bench.By the way dont use somthing I fucking type as a intro for a raw vs.gear debate.Ive made my feeling already clear on the subject.Raw vs gear who gives a fuck. People can lift with car jack up there ass for all I care.

This is a mix of gym and meet lifts:
Raw: 525/390/585
Gear: 826/540/600
Multi-ply gear. I generally get 300+ over my raw squat, 175 over my raw bench, and maybe 25 lb over my raw DL. haha[/quote]
Im calling BS on this one. you can only hit 135 on each lift RRAAWW! your squat is all gear! you are no better than the rest of us with your top 20 squat and total!!!
