Better! How's that?

The whole point of being an orange is to be sweet and my orange is sweet.

Yeah but my apple is sweet.

Aye but my orange is sweeter than your apple.

No it isn't. Anyway your orange is wrapped in a tight thick layer of protection so any sweetness can't leak out.... and that's cheating.

Look apples are too acidic so can't be better than oranges.

Rubbish, mine is a pink lady and it's lovely and sweet, you are thinking of granny smiths. They are s**t.

Hang on I like granny smiths.

Hey look that blokes got a pear!

Oi! pears are s**t. They are not even that sweet.

Yes they are, anyway not only are pears sweet but they are soft and juicy.

Blah blah blah blah.................

I think a few people need to get a grip! Preferably strapless but if you want to use straps then that's ok.

We should all have respect for anybody who is willing to risk having their egos battered in a competition of any of the styles of lifting weights. You can try and compare apples to oranges but it is pointless. At the end of the day they are both fruit and they are both nice, better than vegetables!
If you want to feel better about yourself and test yourself against others then get on the platform and measure yourself against people who are doing the same kind of stuff as you are and be satisfied with that.


Summed up perfectly...

Shame some good discussion got derailed by some pretty inane bulls**t chat.

I'm with the 'call it a different sport' argument.

Traps, for once, made a pretty good point too.

As you were.

another big fan of this vid


rather than squat suits I think you should get extra points for how it looks. Like diving or gymnastics

No

At least unequipped lifting tells you who is the strongest

But equipped lifting tells you who is the strongest whilst lifting in the equipment deemed acceptable by that fed. Same difference really.

So it's pointless, you don't need equipment to find the strongest and there's more variables when adding equipment to the mix.
