Forgive me for not even acknowledging the thread starter. I was speaking of max numbers. Bragging rights.
P, my knee wrap comparion is in the pudding. If you use knee wraps for safety, "extending the knee," or for looks, I dont care what the reason is, should I NOT allow myself to accept what your 1 rep max is, if you used wraps if you did it? Or should I say "ok so you squat 200lbs (
) for 1 rep max with knee wraps. what can you do without the wraps?"
I am not powerlifting nor was I counting it. I dont even remember how it came about. Something about not counting a 1 rep max of a particuliar deadlift cuz they dont allow them in powerlifting. I dont know nor care. If I did, then I guess my squat numbers dont count either, cuz Im not squatting Olympic style.
Bottom line, if someone can max at 500lbs on a deadlift with straps, I say thats their damn max!
If the same fucker has develops perfect grip and doesnt need straps, but gets the same max deadlift of 500lbs, again, its his max!
