Summary

This Friday’s question from our Discord. Lucas F. asks: Do advancements in tech/equipment diminish records broken after them, or even erode the standards of powerlifting? (I.e. Dan G breaking the dl record on a Kabuki dl bar that's longer and whippier than historical dl bars.) I'm sure similar conversations happened as gear (suits & shirts) advanced in the old days Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos joined us in this discussion.
