Thats right, any lift can be impressive in its own right. Like a beginer hitting some good weight the first year, or a older lifter still hitting some good weight, or a teen, or woman lifting a lot of weight. What I was saying that no matter how much weight that some of these guys lift, there always has to be some clown knocking it because it wasnt done in their federation. A real lifter knows what is competitive from one fed to another, and gives credit when they see a impressive lift, no matter if they belong to that fed or not. Yes you are right, this raw verses gear thing is turning out to be a big joke. When there are guys out there claiming that Mendelsons 715 wasnt a raw bench because he was wearing wrist wraps, or Don Rienhoubts 2420 wasnt a raw total because he was wearing ace bandages for wrist and knee wraps, then you can say that this whole raw thing is all about exuses. Not all raw lifters hide behind exuses, but a hell of a lot do, especialy the ones that dont have impressive lifts.
