Why not.

You are only competing against yourself and even if you finish last it's still higher placed than all the knuckleheads who didn't bother getting on the platform.

Absolutely correct.

PL is an individual pursuit. Get at it.

Hehe have fun with the sleeves. I remember when i bought my mediums (that i still use mind you...) at the end of 2015. Trying to put them was a nightmare being middle of summer.

They are super tight to get on again now that summer is back haha. I use soap :p. Just a little bit on my calves.

On comp days i just sit down for a while before i put em on. If i stand around spectating or warmup first, they are fucken almost impossible to pull on. The IPFs new rules suggestion of pulling them off before each attempt would have fucked everyone Hahahaha.

Mine are medium. Enjoy the smalls.

gonna use deadlift socks to help slide them on

 
Yeah showdown, pull em on over ya foots, then fold the top half down on itself the grab the lot with those iron mitts of yours and yank em up to the position required. Then unfold em to finish it off.

And yep long socks work...
But three things,

1. I couldn't use socks to get em on at comps...(used to sneak off in bathroom :p)
2. Its too fucken hot for socks in summer.
3. My shins are one continuous callous so i dont need em at home. [emoji14]

Calm down Gerry, your brain is working over time. Remember you have an extremely small brain, don't strain it too hard.
