You'll be in the novice class bro :nod: (if they have one, you may just be in a novice "flight") But yeah, you're a few years out of the juniors!

As for socks, not sure what you mean? Rugby socks are usually what people wear for deads, knee-length type of get-up. You can wear these throughout the comp if you like, but standard socks are all good for squat/bench.

Shoes can be nearly anything, but chucks are a safe bet :nod: Best to check the rulebook or with people on here if you're unsure about a certain type of shoe. Basically I think it has to be a "sports" shoe? So no work boots or dress shoes (for the heel of course, not because you want to look flash ), but that's just off the top of my head... could be wrong.

[mike27]

ta thanks

yeah just those knee length sox that seem to be needed for deads in comp

Pages 11-16 of the rule book tells you which equipment is OK, 5 finger shoes have been outlawed too recently.

[mike27]

might have to pick up some chucks and also try a belt out down at ESBB.

ive already got some titan wrist wraps, yet to try them out tho

[mike27]

ive got some knee length compression socks... they ok for using in the deadlift?

[drizzt]

I don't think compression socks are ok (or compression anything for that matter - skins type stuff?). Pay to check the rulebook...

OldBull and the Powerhouse have a lot of really good information here

The other piece of advice would be to sit down with a couple of experienced PLs (at Eastside, maybe) - and work out what you need to have versus what you can have. I learned heaps from talking with the Powerhouse guys - just wish I'd done it sooner.
