Title: Which lift is the most honest?
Post by: OneManGang on January 19, 2007, 12:25:02 AM
Which of the 3 lifts in powerlifting is the most honest? By honest I mean, least aided by man made artefacts worn by the lifters

The deadlift by far is the most honest lift, even with gear.

Yeah, without a doubt the Deadlift


Even with the available gear guys are not getting near the same amount of assistance you get with the squat suits and bench shirts

deadlift is the only lift left in p/lifting that hasn't been overly corrupted.

the rest have become a bit of a joke unfortunately

DeadLift MM. thats your best one, right? Deads use more muscles than the other 2 lifts.

it depends. equipped i'd say the deadlift because you get the least out of it and it all falls apart unless you've got amazing grip strength. raw it's either dead or the squat.

DEADS!  You use your legs to deadL , a lot more than you use your back to squat.
Legs and hips should be the primary movers on your deads.
Sumo style anyone?  Mostly legs and hips and grip.
