225lb military at 185lb is sick, good for you

A lot of ignorance in this thread about powerlifting gear. Before some of you "little guys" start bashing geared lifting, try it. Better yet, this forum has a powerlifting section. Ask the question to the real powerlifters here (like myself). I've lifted geared in the past, I absolutely hate it. I prefer RAW, but I respect geared lifters because it's very different than RAW lifting, that is why its considered a totally different sport than RAW lifting.

And for all those using long arms as an excuse to benching heavy, that's B@LLSHIT!! I have an 84" wingspan and have benched in the mid 500's. You Tube has a lot of great instructional vids about geared lifting you can look up to educate yourselves before making some of the idiotic posts I've seen on this thread.
