Every one who responded favored a belt, knee wraps, and wrist wraps.

The rules of performance for the raw division will be the same as the equiped division. Equipment will be a belt, knee wraps, and wrist wraps, the same as the equiped division. The shirt, if worn, will be a tee shirt made of cotton or a cotton blend. The singlet will be the same as a wrestling singlet and made of cotton or a cotton blend. Shorts under the singlet will be made of cotton or a cotton blend or a jockey strap. No spandex will be allowed.

Women lifters may wear a regular bra, sports bra, or halter under the tee shirt.

There probably are some technical definitions of clothing which we will address in the final version of the rules.

Do they make cotton singlets anymore?
Maybe they do, but about all I've seen is the double-knit or spandex.

The APC board will be addressing issues like this shortly and a complete set of rules for the raw division will be posted when they are finished.

Until the rules are finished, I suggest that all lifters who are training "raw" exercise some common sense about their equipment. Wraps should not be a questions. One piece lifting suits for the raw division are singlets. Wrestling suits.....you get the idea.

If you think it is pushing the limits, it is probably going to be illegal.
