I want to start a new powerlifting organization!

[Lumberg]

I am tired of hearing about bench shirts, belts, squat suits, wraps, etc.

I think they dull the distinction between athletes and you can find new types of PR like with or without a shirt or whatever.

I also like the old photos of guys like arnold squatting barefoot and such.

So to see who is truly strongest, without any differences between competitors, I propose the following:

A deadlifting meet where all of the lifts are done with no clothing on whatsoever, that's right, in the nude.

Seeing a guy bench 500, DL 700, and squat 900 in the nude would be awesome. That way you know beyond any doubt that that is the person's true strength coming through, not the bench shirt or squat suit helping them out.

I am not gay and I also know PLs are not the most beautiful peopel on the planet, but I don't care. It's about how strong you are, not how you look or what you wear.

What do you guys think (besides the logistical nightmare)?

I am guessing you would not have a ton of white competitors. And most of the guys that have done this for a while might not like people seeing their atrophied testicles. Myself personally, I might get some better sponsorship deals if I joined your organization, but where would I keep my wallet?

Singlets would be a must...a MUST.

If you don't have shirts, suits, wraps, belts...that also means that you don't have sponsors...something to really think about.

Yeah Brian, that would be like a penis mohawk. I don't think I could concentrate.

 

[Deciever]

the worlds first pornographic powerlifting contest... dont know how good that would be.....

 

[powerlifterjay]

Hell ya i would love for the world to see my shit! No for real that would be soem nasty shit. I would not watch, just lift!

 

[Screwball]

Getting a little "chubby" could be part of the pre-lift psyche. On the other hand, it could also demoralize some lifters...

Is this guy for real??


Jimmy Dean- I have heard that referred to as the Roman War Helmet. You just lay it over there nose....ahh you get the picture.

I told my gf I was gonna show her that, but she figured it out before I could and wasn't going for it, lol.
