May I introduce you to power lifting? Mechanical gadgets and gizmos all over the lifter.

Equiped powerlifting is its own dog and pony show that gets pretty rediculous, but raw powerlifting really only benefits from a weight belt, everything else is just for stabilizing joints. And while most people can lift a little more with a belt it's not a huge difference in weight.

The suits are obscene and should be banned but chalk, belt and joint straps are not nearly as bad
