So the backspotter had only a single, porous layer of polyester between him and a mound of of hot, sweaty donk? Ay mama!- I need to help out at meets more often.
The IPF has some amazing rules. I remember having to go buy the ugliest meet shirt ever made because I couldn’t wear my Hanes plain black t-shirt to squat in (these and Old Navy ringer T’s make up most of my gym shirts). The reason? The t-shirt had a breast pocket. Apparantly, this is considered an illegal performance enhancement in the IPF- as are V-necks T’s and anything with a collar.
I trying to imagine a group of senior powerlifting officials in the IPF in Germany or somewhere mulling over in a serious and somber manner the unfair advantage afforded to a lifter by t-shirt pockets and legs on Fruit-of-the-Loom boxer briefs.

Makes you think of “raw” lifting a little differently, eh?
I also hate the T-shirt sleeves can’t end at the delt rule. That basically means to be safe, I have to wear a baggy regular t-shirt instead of a girl-fit t-shirt, because you never know how anal the equipment ref will be. I also think women should be allowed to deadlift shirtless. It could be great for the sport.

That’s one rule that I do agree with.
There’s a good reason in that there may be the chance of your back being scabbed up and blood being transfered to the bar as a result. Same reasoning behind the knee high sock rule like.

Well yeah, the shirt should cover your back and shoulders - I’m just wanting to wear a shirt with a cut like the one pictured. I carry the bar low, but have never bruised or scratched my delts, even in tank tops. I have seen some women in girlie-fit shirts, but I’ve also seen similar shirts be disapproved. I err on the side of caution and bagginess.

It’s because the USAPL secretly wants you to look like a lesbian- and not like a cutesy Lindsay Lohan lesbian or even Xena Warrior Princess type- but more like a county sherriff’s department kind of lesbian.

Im pretty sure thats getting written into the rules in USAPL next year anyways so you should be good to go.
Dont forget to shave at least 91.4% of your pubic hair also. Wouldnt want anyone to get any illegal carryover from all of that supportive bush down there.

Way ahead of you there. We are at fully turkey-neck status. No “Whoopi Goldberg in a leglock” look for me.

OUCH! If that’s the last option for me to get into a lower weight class, I guess I won’t be making it.
