Quoted from Nexyss:We only have a couple of guys still doing geared powerlifting. It seems to be dying off for the most part.
Why do you think that is? The cost to compete/travel? I have a friend that was a competitive lifter and I know that as he started to age a bit, training was taking a toll on him. I mean it makes sense, even with a shirt on, he was still benching 600+ on a competitive level. That is a ton of weight to be throwing up on a regular basis.
