knee wraps and knee sleeves like Rehband are completely different.
My best squat with wraps is 22.5kg more than with knee sleeves. I can wear ( and have ) worn my knee sleeves from before first warmup to after last bench, only taking them off for deadlifts as they can catch the bar.
If you restrict knee sleeves to neoprene I don't think it's possible to get any assistance from them, even if you buy them too small.
I think Raw Unity can got the right compromise on raw. This meet has the potential to be the biggest world meet for raw powerlifting

While I'd like to see it drug tested I can understand their reasoning for not testing, as if out of competition testing isn't included, then testing on the day doesn't act as much deterrent.
Thats what we need in PL, another division.
we currently have equipped, single ply, raw, and raw with sleeves.
Those with sore knees can wrap and lift in equipped, those without can lift raw. You already have a division where you can lift with knee coverings, why do you want another one Paul?
If I had my way, there would be 2 divisions.
Run what you brung - anything goes.
Raw - nothing, not even a belt.
Simple with no confusion.
Never going to happen lol
your right, it will never happen as people like yourselves can't make compromises for the betterment of the sport.
drug testing was the first thing to fracture the sport, equipment is the next.
I think there's room for two feds in powerlifting
1: IPF - drug tested Raw and single equipped.
2: WPC - non tested raw and multiply equipped
but each side has fractured,
IPF splits into World Drug free, WPF who want untested, then people who want single ply but a monolift, 100% raw but with a belt, Christian raw but drugs ok etc
WPC has split into SPF, GPC and others as people argue about how strict the rules should be enforced, issues with who is in charge etc
I'm surprised we don't have a no sumo deadlifting division as that's the real cheating ( joke )
You think I'm not for the betterment of the sport lol
Luckily a few CAPO guys dont think like you.
Simple is always better Paul, thats why lifters are joining CAPO in droves.
There are currently 145 paid up members.
There are another 25-30 linked with PTC that will sign up before the Nats.
A few months ago Victoria had 12 members, it will be around 50 by Nats, not for the betterment of the sport lol
Have to be a member, so Brendon will need to join. Even if you've competed before.
