As you can see a great strength sport have been fucked up. Powerlifting was the shit in 1970-1980 when NO stupid suits, shirts, and mile-long wraps were allowed and not even invented yet. Weights were real and world records were real world records!!!
Imagine what it would be by 2050?!? A fuckin’ Robocop suit maybe!!
At least, RAW powerlifting still exist…
