ITT: meme gym equipment/gear

>belts just help you lift more weight
>i-its not cheating

so it's helping you with form?

that's cheating

Weak as shit DYELs that do nothing but cope

Another piece of equipment which is, for some reason, mysteriously considered "raw" is pic related.
The way it alters the biomechanics of squatting is huge, and it's the main reason why there are people out there who supposedly can squat twice their bodyweight, yet can't perform a single barefoot ATG bodyweight squat.
Just like belts, I don't think they are memes in themselves, but using them when you're not competing is certainly a meme.
>b-but they allow you to lift more weight!
There is absolutely no rational reason to worry about your exact numbers unless you're competing in a sport where exact numbers literally determine who wins. Besides, just because a certain exercise doesn't allow you to lift as much weight doesn't mean it isn't as beneficial.
I find amazing that this board is full of Rippetoe fans, yet they ignore what he himself says in SS:
>lifting more weight does not automatically mean getting stronger

Wearing clothes in the gym

Post 700lb beltless front squat faggot

thing is I see no reason for ankle mobility to hold me back from squatting. I wasnt born with flexibility of some chinese weightlifting god so why cant I just use a shoe that makes the movement possible for me ?

most people use a belt because they're already injured

At least make your shit believable user

Scientific literature and practical observation from top powerlifters/weightlifters disagree.

Then again this is a bait post.

Because according to fat losers who don’t even bench 1pl8 that’s cheating and not raw. This is how they cope with their shit lifts. “Hey dat guy wearing dem shoes dat be flat and hard and a belt dat help him keep core tight!!!!!!” “Dat be cheating and dat only reason he can squat 4pl8”
Seriously this board is so infested with retards it’s amazing.

>fat losers
Cope. Post video of you doing a barefoot bodyweight squat.

Stretch.
The amount of people born with malformations/defects preventing them from squatting ATG with flat soles is incredibly small.
But instead of correcting and improving your mobility, you just choose to hide it instead.

I can't even believe the amount of people I see using chalk. If you can't lift it without chalk, then you can't lift it.

I can't even believe the amount of people I see using barbells. If you can't lift the plates with your bare hands, then you can't lift it.

I can't even believe the amount of people I see wearing gym trunks. If you can't lift the plates buck naked, then you can't lift it.

If chalk is cheating, then just grease up your hands before you go to deadlift then.

High IQ post

>only have to post myself squatting 163 pounds barefoot
Hahahaha do you actually think that’s impressive? You’re absolutely retarded, consider suicide.

Are you the same girl from yesterday with a shit squat?

Proceeds to post nothing... Beltcels on suicide watch.

There's no proof it builds your abs significantly better than beltless. It protects against injury and gives you the extra pressure to lift a bit more. You should honestly just use a belt for every set of every exercise but people are too shy to use it for warmups.

>inb4 cope
You follow your own broscience, I don't care just don't make shit up to justify it.

Barbells. You are only supposed to lift dead animals off the ground, you gym fags are hilarious thinking that moving a perfectly balanced object over or through your center of the mass with a perfectly comfortable grip counts as lifting. Deadlift a natural randomly shaped stone and squat with a deer on your back, you can shove your iron sticks up your ass

Hey you stupid piece of shit, have you considered not deadlifting and going for other back exercises? Your fucked up body is already telling you no more deadlifts, yet you won't listen

>meme
darwins prize winner

It could be 1 pound for all I care.
But can you actually *perform* that movement?
Judging by your obsession with mere numbers, I'd say no.
