I saw her squat in person. Her squats were about 2 inches below!

now that i see someone actually do a full sqaut while using the monolift i think i like them

Great lifting but I have a quick question. What federations allow knee wraps for their RAW division? USAPL, AAU, 100% RAW, etc only allow Rehbands/knee sleeves. I'd like to add a few pounds to my RAW total and compete in these federations. Also is this a tested federation? I'm new to Raw lifting so I'd like to know which federations allow knee wraps in their RAW class.

In the left corner under Navigation, click on compare federations and you can get your answer there and no SPF is a non-tested fed.

HOly crap thats awesome! Very impressivel lifting indeed.

GOOD JOB ROBYN!!!!

Blah!

I think you should ask this question a little bit differently. Just my two cents.
Yeah if you are some feds like 100 percent then no wraps allowed and yeah they test but dude.
Wraps and drugs still need skill and that doesn't mean she's on them... yeah. Way to belittle ones accomplishments.

But if that's not the point of the quesion I mean, try the AAPF. I am pretty sure you can use wraps and no they don't test but yeah.

The SPF is a federation that is here to have fun and lift weights and we don't care what some anonymous has to say about it. I bet he needs more than knee wraps to put any pounds on his total.

awesome lifting robyn!

small is a state of mind - Derek Wilcox
