Come on, man. Everyone gets all hot and bothered about Eric Lillibridge, Stan Efferding, Chad Wesley Smith, and the dozen other guys that squat big weights raw out of a monolift. I will agree, most multi-geared up squats are horrible. I will also add that most raw squats are judged with inconsistant depth standards (which I think is worse than consistantly awarding very high squats). I think extra distance gets awarded for lifters who smile the most and have the best time.[/quote]
Ha, I was being facetious. I have a strong dislike for multi-ply powerlifting, but that’s neither here nor there. The monolift isn’t even exclusive to equipped powerlifting, so the point is moot. I don’t even have anything against the monolift, as it doesn’t really make the lfit easier; the lifter still has to lift the weight.
Of course, this discussion is a slippery slope, so we’ll just cut it off here.

I don’t think it matters, but I have been having some serious issues with EliteFTS lately. I ordered a shirt, they sent me one two sizes bigger than I asked for. Then they sent me the wrong shirt but the right size (better shirt too), but I had to send it back because it was too small. Then they sent me briefs for whatever fucking reason. It got so bad the customer service representative said she would handle the order personally and sent me a prepaid shipping label.
I’m convinced they have a fucking monkey working in their shipping warehouse or something.[/quote]

I’ve never differentiated between left and right wrist wraps. In fact, this is the first I’ve ever heard it mentioned. What does it matter when you take the loops off? I just looked at all my Titan wraps and the loops all go the same way.
I’ve learned something new today. I guess I can go to bed now.[/quote]
I used to use APT wraps before they got cut from the approved equipment list, and they had a left/right wrap. Now I use Titan THPs.

Don’t insult Jason Pegg like that!

I’ve never gotten exactly what I ordered. Of the 3 or 4 times I’ve bought stuff, they have sent something extra every single time. I got a belt, wrist wraps, some extra bands, none of which I ordered or paid for.
I’ve never had any issues. I’ve ordered “The Travel Stick”, a belt, wrist wraps, and some supplements from EFS before. Since they are only a state away, shipping takes a day. I usually only order when its free shipping though.
