Belt talk 🗣 Powerlifters vs. Weightlifters — what’s the difference?
🎒 Plus, we’re placing an SBD order soon for that sweet 20% off 🔥
#SBD #Powerlifting #Weightlifting #ClubOrder #icbarbell #imperialcollege
Shoe chat 👟 Powerlifters love that solid heel for squat stability. Weightlifters? They’re chasing that explosive drive off the floor. Same shoes, different magic.
🗓️ SBD order closes next week - so if you’ve been eyeing WHATS IN OUR BAGS (the series 👀) and want to purchase something, now’s the time.

Knee sleeves 101 🦵
Both powerlifters and weightlifters use them for that pop out of the hole, but the feel is different:
• Powerlifters: usually go stiffer — max compression and stability when the bar feels like a small planet. • Weightlifters: prefer more flexible sleeves — warmth, support, and freedom to stay quick in cleans and snatches.
Same purpose, different flavor of knee confidence.
