Do powerlifters shave body hair?

[cheesePuss]

Some shave their legs with clippers to make it a little less painful putting on a tight squat suit.

From what i have seen......
to be a powerlifter you have to shave your head.....or crop it real short (no regular boys haircuts).
and have a goatee (i dont know what you call them in america).
that is the only hair requirement.

maybe it has something to do with strength.

actually once you grow a goatee you can increase your squat....................SIKE

You must have read Jason's goatee theory. I shaved my head because I am to busy to comb my hair and I am growing a goatee because my squats need all the help they can get.

What is the goatee length to strength increase ratio? If you shave your head and grow a goatee to make your squat increase, will shaving your goatee and growing hair on your head increase your squat??? LOL

I would shave my butt and grow a mohawk if it would increase my lifts. LOL If it works I will come out with a "How to" video.

I did compete and I shave my head and have a goatee, I actually shave all the hair on my body now but for powerlifting my legs were the first due to the hair being pulled out when doing deads. And yes having the first two does make your squat increase. this is a beforen pic.
