While you are correct that the gear advancements arent nescassary, and only pad totals and numbers,then by that logic,why even wear a belt when squatting.They really arent nescassary if one is really relying on strength arent these really used as crutches as well.If one developed his lower back and abs enough would a belt be nescassary?This is the problem with the arguments over gear.Some say the numbers today arent compareable to the numbers Eddy put up in his prime,but are Eddys numbers comparable to the numbers Reinholdt put up, and were his numbers comparable to the guys before him that didnt even use the skinny belt big Don used.Every single era has had gear advancements and untill everyone takes off every single piece of equipement,comparrisons from era to era are pointless.All gear is developed for ONE reason,to lift more weight!!!
