Is it a terrible idea to take a laxative and drink mostly water and protein for a day to kind of "cleanse" (read: push all the shit out so to speak)?

this is useless, just add fiber to your diet for intestinal health. I use this. abd anything would work tho.

RAW is: everything except suits + knee wraps.

RAW+ : everything except suits

as /u/lottrbist_ said there are some specifications for the equipment to be considered raw. sbd and rehband sleeves both satisfy those specifications.
