Gentle reminder that if you use anything of the following
>Belt
>Wrist wraps
>Knee sleeves
Your lifts are invalid
That is all

knee sleves doesnt effect strenght, mayb like 0.5%, coming from being more confident. Knee wraps do, though.
My muscles don't know I'm using straps on my DL. The autists on Jow Forums like OP may think it doesn't count, but I still make gains ya goofer
Wrist straps for shrugs lets me do more reps before my grip fails so I think you're full of shit OP
Original post did not include straps
But now you've mentioned it yeah they should be included as well
This and farmers walk, but mostly because these are usually done at the end of the workout.
Then you need to train your grip more you retarded faggot.
its GEAR, so it doesnt count. True world records should ideally be set by only the man and the bar and nothing else.
Lifting isn't about things "counting" or not... Like who u trying to impress
>straps for a grip exercise
Not using wrist wraps the majority of the time as an oly lifter is a good way of fucking your hands up and having to take time of training.
Using with near maximum loads is common sense.
Knee sleeves barely do anything except warm your joint. Are elbow sleeves cheating too?
Now post a pic and post stats.
so not wrist straps? nice
>Using with near maximum loads is common sense.
Using a belt*
only gay people on hentai imageboards care about what you can lift.
all women care about are abs and veiny arms
Don't forget gloves.

Post body and lifts
like broscience said, “wrist wraps are for when you’ve reached a point where you can deadlift literally more weight than you can hold”
haven’t reached this point yet
when i do i will use them and feel no shame
itt:
sub 3x bodyweight lifts
Exactly my thoughts
Post body, lifts
Sup manlet
Are knee sleeves a good idea if you have shit knees that hurt all the time?
Showed this picture to my gf, who is a solid 8/10.
She said women do care about legs, they want strong looking legs. Preferably with a muscular ass also.
Also if your bodyfat percentage is above 15% it doesn't count.
>>Belt
Best safety precaution you can have when lifting heavy weights. If you make one mistake and fuck your form or don't brace properly, your belt can be a lifeline from snap city.
>>Wrist wraps
They have some uses.
>>Straps
Essential if you're pulling 3 - 4 times a week, especially when doing olympic lifts and their vaeriations.
>>Knee sleeves
No brainer safety check.
>Shin pads
Agree here they're for pussies, but you're still a fag.
t. 150lb manlet.
You should always wear knee sleeves.
As for your pain, start foam rolling your quads, hamstring, around the knees, calves, and shins. And stretch those areas.
You forgot gloves faggot
>True world records should ideally be set by only the man and the bar and nothing else.
Only powerlifters care about world records, and they have their own containment thread.
you are not brightest star out there m8
only thing i agree on is belt... and using it only on heavy sets... not like some retards doing warmup sets with belts
Ever done oly lifting? If you did, you'd know you need straps.
Still waiting for OP to post his physique. Won't bother asking for stats cos he'd probably lie anyway
