1970`s powerlifting was the real deal....................
..belt,chalk,knee wraps,wrist wraps at times......that`s it !
Below paralell squats,2 second pause benches with no excessive arching,and deadlifts.
No suits
No spotters touching the bar
No shallow squats
No excessive arching
No Monolifts
Legit pausing on benches
No excessive uneven extension on benches
And all powerlifters are not fat......they have weight classes where a guy weighing 114 can lift tons of weight in good form.......back in the day anyway.
Any questions,I can refer you to some great lifters in all weight classes that lifted raw.
They fucked up a great strength sport.
