exactly
I don't get how people can be so polarized on this topic.... it's all about moving heavy weight. Most people who would call equipped lifting cheating have never seen, let alone tried to use a squat suit or bench shirt. Everyone wants to believe that their way is the right way, but in the end it's all about moving heavy-ass weight.
I don't think that either way is better. I just think that raw lifting will attract more participants and spectators. I got nothing against equipped lifting, but it's not something you can just dive into like you can with raw lifting. You need more help with gear. You need someone to help you put on a shirt, take it off, learn to train with it, teach you what you should be looking for in a shirt, etc. For a guy just starting out all that extra can be a bit intimidating.
