Is there any rule about using straps that turn the lift into an 18 or 22" deadlift? | ||

Is there any rule about using straps that turn the lift into an 18 or 22" deadlift? Several promoters that work with giants have been using the rule that the thumb must stay around the bar. It seems likely Giants put that rule out, so i expect it to be used if they pull on a standard bar again. | ||

In my opinion though, people can't moan about the strap cheat when they agree with straps in the first place. It's more a case of who can lift the most weight these days as apposed to who's the strongest. | ||

Who used the deadlift suit the best? I always feel with strength, that it means nothing if isn't as raw as it can be. But I know these days I am in the minority. Straps. Even belts. Strength is power, muscle, joints, tendons, bones. | ||

See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | If you need straps or a suit or any other form of equipment to lift a weight, then you can't lift the weight. If you can't do it naked, you can't do it. Novas most recent WSM training video on YouTube was good. | ||

Do you think there would be much less interest if it was a pure contest with no lifting aids? | ||

When Puds shouldered the fingals fingers up, before they banned this, that was a good cheat. Same when the Iranian used the tire to hold the shield at Strength Island in Bahrain this year. Genius. Novistraps is like when Thor knee bumps strict viking press. Down with this sort of thing. | ||

Tbh Novi now looks so strong he doesn’t need to cheat. But I’ll find another reason not to like him! | ||
