Dave :- The new competitive raw powerlifting. Briefs under singlets and single ply shirts under t-shirts. Just saw in a contest video. I just think it should be made aware so judges will check. they don't allow it! I doubt the judges knew about it. Sneaky lifters I'm sure it's never crossed a judges mind.I'd rather not expose any lifters. The videos are not hard to find.


I'm beginning to like Dave. Grin

Rumor has it that the lifter in question is a well known elite powerlifter who has a new training method called either "the cave" or "the cube". However Brandon Lilly has denied that he is the lifter in question.

Any Sugden detectives who can find the vid that Dave is talking about.

Yeah saw that on FB, he pulled it off rather quickly after a few posts.

Possibly because it's not true? Is there any other evidence apart from a pulled FB/Twitter update?

The tweets are all there to read, none are deleted.

I didn't even think anything of it until now, he should link the video if its obvious...like the infamous bench press vid

After seeing that vid and how the bar moves on the bench e looks like he's wearing some type of shirt poss a blast shirt or really loose single ply you can even see somthing under his sleeves


I like Brandon and he's a strong dude but I bet there were more guys than him doing this at this coni why type of comp doesn't even have a kit check or ref to check for briefs as the lifter leaves the platform like they had at ipf classic

Well he has definitely got another shirt of some description under his t-shirt - he approaches the bench with his arms up and forward (like he was wearing a shirt) - the difficult part of the lift for him appears to be the lockout. All of which might hint towards a loose bench shirt.

The squats seem to take an age to get to the bottom position too - I wouldn't rule out briefs here either.

I hope I'm way off - people have been adding equipment to powerlifting meets since .... since it began !

That could well be an under armor

Wasn't he doing those sort of weights raw before the backyard meet?

maybe saving energy for the deadlift?

either way, if he's cheating, that's not on.

on the squat some raw guys do have slow descents, efferdings is really slow, theirs obviously something under his shirt on the bench could it be a baselayer type thing? its suspicious but i'd like to think he wouldnt cheat although people have done it before Unhappy

does 'bench only' comps ...LOL

Im gonna say its under armour or some base layer...ive had really loose single ply shirts on and it would show uo a million under a tshirt so im more leaning towards the tight compression side of the story

Full mask or nasal and chin strap?

As he walks away from the 260kg bench you can see how his arms are turned inwards and to me at least there is anvil idly a shirt involved

I can't understand how it wasn't obvious to those that were there

I've not saw him lift before but his deadlifting was okay
