Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could steer me towards a fed where I can lift without any gear. I’m not one of the RAW nuts that post sometimes, I just don’t have desire to use equipment yet.
I don’t really know about the “politics” or ins and outs of the sport or which feds are considered the most legit.
Contests in the midwest are a definite plus as well.
Thanks,
-Conor

Thanks man, that helps alot.
Best of luck Conor.
Also remember that there are no rules against lifting raw in a geared federation.

exactly…
you can lift in any meet with just a singlet…bench shirt, squat suits, etc. are not a requirement…
I feel similarly. I have never competed, but I found this site while checking around, and plan on going to one of their meets near here.
The WDFPF has both raw and single ply equipped divisons.

Yeah, that’s a good point and something I didn’t think about. I suppose at my level of experience, I’m not going to be competitive at very many meets anyway, so if the equipped meets are more convenient I might as well go to them.
