They are changing alot of rules about what gear you can wear from the start of 2015.
Instead of just being under ''approved by the committee'' they now instead have to be on this list.

Looks like not much has changed

ALOT of singlets/belts/wrist wraps will not be allowed next year.
One of the most popular belts and singlets in Europe (sweden mainly for belt) won't probably be OK next year.

Heh

Looks like some companies are done paying ridiculous prices to have their equipment allotted

It's probably because classic lifting has become larger than geared the last years.
The companies who make squat/bench/deadliftgear are all among the approved classic gear...

Some real bullshit imo.
I won't probably compete in powerlifting at all next year but still BS.

powerlifting will b joke until dey stop letting contortionists bench ty

You talk as if it happens all the time.
