Sorry, no bullshit, I actually do have a major problem with reading comprehension, so I am having trouble understanding what you are asking (which I believe is my fault, not yours)

I will gladly answer any question you have though, I just want to make sure I am answering the right question.

Shit. I'm sorry my post was suppose to be in this thread http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=442680

I can clearly understand why you have absolutely no idea what I'm saying now. I'll re-post in the other thread.

You don't have an issue with reading comprehension, it's me that has issues with posting the right posts in the right thread!

I've done both raw and geared and I prefer raw. Not because of the inflated numbers from geared but because the equipment takes too long to get on and get off for my liking. Now I compete in strongman AND powerlifting.

But with that said, it really bugs the shit out of me when people bash geared lifting. There is no difference in geared lifting and taking AAS to improve one's lifts. Besides with the extreme gear today, it's a totally different sport than raw lifting. Using gear takes totally different technique than going raw and a number of lifters can't ever 'learn' the gear. As a matter of fact, I squatted more raw (***) than I did geared (720), because I couldn't find the 'groove' in my squat suit. So it isn't simply putting on the gear and lifting.

Besides the raw bench record is 730lbs.
