Elephant in the room/emperors new clothes

You GPC who can compete several times a year can easily settle this debate.

Squat one contest with wraps.

Squat the next without.

No deliberate tanking to make your point.

Have you even read the last few pages?
Whether or not wraps help is not in contention.

a little OT, but why do all the federations make people wear those soft suits?

So you can judge the lift properly. No other seams or loose clothing to confuse the judges. Also you can't hide extra supportive equipment under them easily.

And cos they're dead sexy.

Call ASADA and report anyone you believe is doping.

Start with me. I have little man boobies and am getting up towards a twice bw bench.

Why would i do that? I thought i made my stance on drugs pretty clear
I know of two guys who lift in PA who are my friends, they dont use hormones but there is use of plenty of other drugs on the banned list both taken recreationally and to help with training. Lots of people use glycerine as a cell volumiser also which is on the banned list but untestable. If you truely believe PA is drug free then you are very naive... Im not going to criminalise these people though because i believe that they are not cheating

Id like you to answer my question above as well. Given my recreational and self prescribed medicinal drug use, would lifting in PA make me a "cheat"?
 
Man, when Stickman gets in here he's gonna be awfully pissed.

Off topic, personal attacks, comedy, me acting as moderator - oops. Me outta here!!! :)

I have never used gear and don't intend to. One day I want to compete in powerlifting. I would like to have a crack at PA one day but there is a lot of bullshit looking from outside that would stop me.

No 1. You can't compete anywhere else if you want to lift at PA. What the fuck is up with that. Can you catch roids of people.

I hate the attitude that people at PA seem to have that everyone lifting elsewhere is drugged out and they are all perfect little angels.

As for testing in other Feds. Isn't PA testing subsidised by the government.

The high and mighty attitude from PA gets very irritating.

Ive got a lifter competing at PA oceanias this weekend.
As a coach u also get drug tested and have to be a member of PA.
So i will be coaching in the spectators area. :rolleyes:

Not sure what the reasoning behind this is.

All members can be tested. You have to be a member to be an official coach. All reasonable to me.

Who's your lifter?

The topic died a long, long time ago but legit discussion has been appearing occasionally between the bullshit.

Lol. I'm sure they believe that you can catch roids from someone else.

Fair enough point there mate.
Still drug testing a non-lifter seems a waste of resources?
Im not getting into a debate more reasoning i guess.

Raymond Siaka representing newei. 119kg div
Would love to get in the warm-up area to coach but rules are rules.
