Wrist wraps are easy to get, as are those bodybuilder style belts.

But I want some real powerlifter style equipment, the thick belts with equal support around the back and front. Also those bench straps that go over your chest



I got pretty damn strong in some movements, but I want to see if I can actually try my hand at proper powerlifting this time around.

I've never used any of these other than wrist wraps.

These would be accessory movements and gear to increase said RAW power.

Hey Dru, alot of these things the guys import themselves. buying on ebay or other international sites.

The other alternative could be to try and attend a powerlifting competition and speak to the guys there? Trust me there will always be an old man with a big boep thats been powerlifting for years and he'll be able to hook you up lol.

Which area you in? (not address just town), maybe i can try and find a place that can help close by

Anywhere in CPT is good.

Wouldn't mind joining a powerlifting gym either, that'd be dope as hell.

I've been learning a lot about strength training lately, 'strange' trainings as well, been looking at some Alan Thrall and Jason Blaha (lol) videos. And I feel like I can incorporate a lot of that into my own routines.

Yeah I'll probably have to import, which is also fine.

Yo Dru, try beast genetics. www.beastgenetics.com
Their SA agents are based in JHB... unfortunately

Contact Chantelle orAntonio 0763334582 (admin/mods i'm hoping this isn't breaking a rule since this is their store contact details for equipment)
email: info@cf1610.co.za
website: www.cf1610.co.za

They are Crossfit 1610 which is the SA agent
Good luck buddy and hope you find what you need.

You're probably best off just ordering online off Amazon and waiting a while or use a dropshipping service like aramex global shopper and you'll have your stuff within about a week. Amazon has the top quality brands. Flexz and Inzer etc, and the original slingshot.
