Debate between raw lifters and geared lifters.

Raw lifting shows pure strength, no equipment excuses needed.

Geared lifters still grind hard, just different discipline.

Raw all day nothing beats unassisted power output.

Gear’s a skill too, respect both strength expressions.

Raw lifters chase purity, geared ones chase records.

Bench shirts don’t lift themselves, still takes grind.

Different tools, same passion strength is strength.

Geared lifting’s technical mastery, not cheating like many think.

Raw feels primal, every rep tests true limits.

Geared lifting keeps joints alive longer for veterans.

Both chase power, just through different mechanical advantages.

Respect the bar, raw or geared, effort’s real.
