I don't believe that anyone is "meant" to be one way or the other. It's a choice the lifter has to make.

I've been told that people are sometimes much better at one than the other. I'm hoping to be one of those that blossoms in gear, lol. As for knowing before you actually get some gear on, I have no idea how you would do that.

Get as strong as you possibly can, then add gear.

I'm with Swede. I want to see how far I can I can get raw. Even if there was some matrix that said I'd be better geared, I'd still want to max myself out raw before ever trying gear.
