I would imagine so. Equipped lifting was never hugely popular but since classic came into it's own, that is hugely so. Of course they will see it as someone who doesn't need a suit or a shirt. So now it is named belts, next it will be t-shirts - only acceptable names allowed and no plain ones will be accepted. Then socks - again no plain. Welcome to corporate greed. But the beast feeds on money and if it starves we all suffer.

Yeah, I guess equipped lifting presents a diminishing opportunity for sales. With the increase in popularity of unequipped lifting there is no real increase in the market for sponsored apparel unless they include belts and singlets on the approved list.

Unfortunately the pursuit of IOC recognition always meant that this was going to happen if we were to create corporate partners and the like, that's just part of the evolution process. The only way to avoid it would be to develop "ultra-raw" lifting and lift butt naked! Chances are we'd still end up having to pay for Titan to be tattooed on one arse cheek and SBD on the other.

I personally quite like the fact that powerlifting is a little bit underground, not mainstream and as regards IOC recognition I can take it or leave, couldn't give a s**t.
