These youngins' of today haven't a clue as to what real powerlifting is all about. Squat racks with tire rims as the base, an old singlet or single ply marathon super-suit, some red line knee wraps for 12 dollars, maybe a single ply B/P shirt at most with an ole standard york competition Bench, and a big pull with an old 7' york power bar.

No Mono-lifts, no multi ply suits or 3 ply canvas B/P shirts. No D/L bars that start moving an inch or two before the bar leaves the ground. No parallel or hip lifts passed for squats, no touch and go B/P's without a true lockout, and one federation for every man/woman.

John Cole squat of 902 without a suit weighing 282 bdwt. (Phoneix, Arizona 1972 AAU)

Don Reinhouldt squat 934 without a suit.
(1976 @ Findlay, Ohio AAU/IPF.

John Kuc squat 905 @ 322 bdwt. without a suit. 1st man to squat 900 lbs.in a meet.
(Harrisburg, Pa. 1972 AAU)

48 lifters who have gone 600-715 unequipped.

Ed Coan 901 D/L @ 220 class.
(Dallas, Texas 1991 USPF

Plus a few more great D/Lers I won't post.
