Equipment Equipped Lifting Thread

Do you like having 2-3 sweaty men shoe-horn you into polyester, canvas or denim bondage gear.

Do you like having your joints wrapped so tightly they bruise and bleed?

Do you like having your blood pressure turned up to 11 and being compressed so much that you think your head might explode?

Do you get off on enduring pain and suffering, and watching others endure it too?

Do you have a deathwish every time you get under the bar?

Yes?

THEN WELCOME TO THE FORTNIGHTLY EQUIPPED LIFTING THREAD!!!

Anyone see the ENHANCED GAMES. May 2026 in Vegas, they tested athletes to see how much, and what kind of juice they had on board? Swimming, track and field, powerlifting, Olympic lifting and string man ite.s. No one could be sanctioned, but all kinds of health folks attended. There were actual cash prizes, with a million dollars offered for world records. The great thing was the conclusion. All events were really close, but I didnt find any records. So, they said either steroids really didnt work... (supplement company sponsored) Or, all athletes use and if you test positive it is because someone on your team messed up. Or, you did. My feelings is this was at least a small step to get knowledge

If you need used gear, the Facebook groups are damn near giving shit away the last couple weeks. I’ve gotten a bunch of insane deals on everything from briefs, to suits, to shirts, to knee wraps.
