Powerlifting Gear

Violent Hero's Reviews and Pointers

Powerlifting Gear is strange to Most newcomers to powerlifting who usually take a while to adapt to the technique requirements of the three lifts. Learning how to squat or bench correctly can be a challenge for most, but at some point the lure of moving more weight creeps in when those raw numbers just aren’t moving that much. That and the fact that about 80% of all Feds use powerlifting gear, but whatever the reason powerlifting gear has become a part of the sport and the smart money is on learning how to use it if you want to compete.

If you are a beginner then you will undoubtedly pick which ever federation is hosting a meet near your hometown, or just lift in the fed that everybody else at your gym does…and that’s just fine. Most guys start training and competing in single or multi ply because of that. So whatever ply you choose for your powerlifting gear to lift in here are some pointers.

Powerlifting Gear - A Beginners Set of Instructions

#1 - Powerlifting Gear helps you lift more weight- … we can throw all of that “support system” nonsense out the window and leave that in the ads where it belongs. The point of gear is to help take advantage of your body’s strengths and minimize its structural weaknesses, and result is that you move more weight. This is what powerlifting is now so just get used to it…or continue to lift raw if you like.

#2 - The Numbers Game- Single ply gear will add about 50 to 150lbs to your squat, 30 to 150lbs to your bench, and 50lbs or so to your deadlift. These are generalizations, as some people are better in gear than others. Most single ply feds require a “walked out” squat so usually the rule is that whatever you can walk out you should be able to squat in a suit. Bench numbers will vary depending on mastery of the shirt and the rules for set up of the fed but expect to get AT LEAST 50 lbs over your raw. Powerlfiting Gear Suites don’t really help that much for deadlifting, you may get about a 50lb boost off the floor but you’ll still have to lock it out…as is true for all the lifts. Suits and shirts really just help you out of the bottom of the lift. In Multi ply gear you can basically just add another 100lbs to each lift. An added advantage to lifting multi ply is that most feds use a monolift to squat out of, so the walk out is eliminated. If you have 2 ply briefs and a 2 ply canvas suit on (4 plys of material), then 200 to 300lbs over your raw is not out of the question. Same on the bench. When I first started training in gear I bought a 2 ply Phenom and hit 500 at 185lbs bodyweight after 4 months of training with a 360 raw bench…so there you go.

#3 - Powerlifting Gear Sucks - So I’m sure the beginners are salivating now and are pulling out there credit cards to order one of everything…BUT…the rest of the story is that gear only works because it is tight. Not tight like some underarmor shit you wear under your football pads, tight like your limbs go numb. Gear is extremely uncomfortable…it hurts to wear. It’s really hard to get into and out of, often requiring help from your training partners yanking and pulling on you, ripping your arm hair out. Your legs and arms get huge cuts in them which turn to scars. Your balls get smashed. If you’re reading this and calling bullshit then your powerlifting gear is loose and you’re a poser. If you’re reading this and laughing because you are covered in scars and know it’s true then you are a powerlifter. If you’re reading this and are scared then you are a newb, and have lots of fun to look forward to.
