I lifted raw, equipped, classic &#8211; everything. I enjoy raw lifting better. I have a lot of interest in equipment, I collect equipment, use it and study it. There is very little hard evidence for claims that go beyond the general consensus that knee wraps provide carry-over &#8211; an unknown percentage of a lifter&#8217;s raw lift, but it does.<\/p>\n<p>4. I will not engage in bullshitology arguments. They are boring.<\/p>\n<p>5. The monolift makes total sense for equipped multi-ply lifting. Otherwise, I support my organization&#8217;s approach (the IPL\/USPA), well described in our rulebook: you need to walk back with the weight. As with many rules, it is an arbitrary one, characterizing what is called a &#8220;game&#8221; (sport is an institutionalized game).<\/p>\n<p>6. My experience with RUM was of an amazing meet with an atmosphere of true brotherhood and mutual support.<\/p>\n<p>7. What everyone thinks about raw X equipped is unimportant: the good side (others are not that great) of a non-olympic multi-federation sport is that the athletes enjoy the freedom to choose where it is best for them to lift. If one doesn&#8217;t like raw lifting, there are plenty of alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>My views on the subjects related to this topic can be found on the links bellow:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariliacoutinho.com\/raw-versus-equipped-the-bloody-war-of-the-millennium\/\">Raw versus equipped: the bloody war of the millennium<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariliacoutinho.com\/knee-sleves-dont\/\">Knee sleves: what we know and what we don\u2019t<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariliacoutinho.com\/making-powerlifting-popular-it\/\">Making powerlifting more popular: do we want or need it?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
