I’m tired of seeing those ‘reblog if you’re active’ posts have tons of non lifting blogs in the notes and shit so

This one’s for the actual lifting community who cares about staying lowkey

✨Interact if you’re active August 2020 and / or are a relatively small blog!✨

Also pls message me I need friends in the U.K. 🥺

(Dw I will be blocking any non lifters who interact)

[poke-lifts]

So I’ve noticed basically all of the old lifting masterposts have broken links, so I wanted to make a newer, updated one :)

PLEASE if you go to view a link and it ends up being broken, don’t be afraid to message me and let me know. All posts creds go to post creators/source. Some sections are kind of dry, but I’ll be updating this. If I don’t update please yell at me in my inbox lmao.

lots of rich people are panic buying everything that is essential and needed in households personally i live with a lot of people and have siblings that are immune compromised and can’t do their own shopping right now so i went out and had to go to about 5 different places to get non perishable food for us or else we would have had to literally ration our food and realized we can’t be the only family going through this so i went back out to a different city and got a bunch of shit for all my friends and thier families that they’d need, remember, stealing and kindness both cost $0 :^)

Tags & How to Remove them

GATOR TAGS: You can remove them by wrapping a rubber band in between the pin and the tag. Type in “How to remove gator tag with rubber band” on youtube.(: THIS IS THE ONLY TAG THAT CAN BE REMOVED WITH A RUBBER BAND.

SENSORMATIC TAG: I’ve seen them as white, tan, and black. As long as it has a little slot on it, you can remove it with a hook. Below is a picture of what a hook looks like and where you can order it in the U.S.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/218315192/replacement-hook-part-for-sensormatic

I call the first 3 tags “golf” and “clam” tags. I don’t know what #4 and #5 are called. I’ve never seen #7-#9 either. Haha. #6 is a pencil tag attached to a lanyard. Lanyards are tough to cut. You’d have to have some wire cutters or something. All of the tags above can be removed with a golf detacher, which is made of a Neodymium magnet. Below is a link to where you can buy a golf detacher and what it looks like.

SPIDER WRAP: These are normally used on boxed items. DON’T TRY TO CUT THE WIRES BECAUSE AN ALARM WILL SOUND. You can either remove it by ripping off a corner of the box and shimmying the wrap off or you can use a spider wrap detacher. I’m not sure how the detacher works because I don’t have one, but you can search it up on youtube.(: A picture of the detacher and a link to buy it is below.

info on my booster bag

hey liftblr!

if you remember this post i made a little while back, you might be aware that i recently purchased a “faraday bag” meant for protecting your mobile phone/tablet (product linked here) from radio signals used to extract/plant data. my intent was to use it as a booster bag, and i figured i would give you all a little update on how that’s worked out for me, since a few people seem interested & i think it could help other lifters!

first things first, here are the dimensions of the bag:

(the bag itself, with a regular hook tag for scale)

(here it is when it’s folded—it’s about 1.5” thick. i fold it and usually shove it down the back of my jeans so it rests against my back. paired with a loose sweater over it, it’s actually pretty hard to spot.)

you can fit a REALLY decent amount of tags inside this thing, though it does get harder to fold the more are inside. i would estimate, while folded, it can comfortably fit 10-15 tags without getting too bulky. if you stuffed the thing with disregard for bulkiness, i’d approximate you could easily fit 40-50+ tags inside, maybe more. i got the tablet size* for 70 USD, and while it is pricey, i’m really pleased!

*they also sell a cell phone size for 50 USD, which is a good deal smaller, but i’m sure you could still fit a few tags inside, and it would also be easier to conceal on-person.

i’ve tested it at the following stores, and been able to pass through the entrance* (with tags inside) incident free:

- although not a store, it worked on my iphone, lol. putting it inside makes it unable for calls or texts to get through, and when you bring the phone out, there are a few seconds before the phone “pings” with a tower that you can see it still reads “no cellular service available.”

- forever 21

- pacsun

- lululemon

- sephora**

- urban outfitters

- h&m**

- aerie

- aeropostale

- victoria’s secret/PINK***

*while i can’t concretely verify that all these stores actually had towers/working towers at that, i know for certain that the towers at urban outfitters worked, as well as the ones at VS/PINK. i did my testing at a relatively upscale mall, so i would assume all stores would be adequately prepared with LP measures like working towers.

**i did not conceal tags directly from these stores, but the tags i had on my person from other stores did not create an incident at these places.

***this one is a bit of a special case. i walked into the VS side of the store with tags concealed in my booster bag and the towers did NOT go off—i know for a fact they were working, however, because a woman beeped on her way out (and subsequently, an SA searched her bag). however, upon leaving the PINK side of the store with tags from PINK/VS inside my bag, i did beep. more on this down below.

here are the types of tags i’ve found success with concealing in my bag & walking out with:

top left: clam tag from UO

top right: ink tag from F21/pacsun

bottom left: hook tag from lululemon

bottom right: hook tag from A&F

now, here are the tags that may have given me a problem:

i believe all of these are from VS/PINK, though i’m not entirely certain on the tag with the wire. these tags were the ones i added to my bag while inside of the VS/PINK, and subsequentially the ones that must have made me beep. upon entering a kate spade store with the same assortment of tags in my bag, i also beeped on both entry and exit.

my lifter friend (who was there at the time) and i tried to brainstorm reasons why these tags might have made me beep. note that we made sure i hadn’t left any tags/hidden RFIDs in my purse or on the merchandise i had concealed on my person. here’s what we were able to come up with (keep in mind that neither of us know jack shit about the science behind radio signals and whatnot):

- it’s possible that one or more of the tags in the picture above uses a frequency that was not blocked by the bag? i believe this would be possible if one of the tags used a radio frequency <600MHz or >5 GHZ. just gonna put it out there that i have no ideas what those numbers mean, but on the website, that‘s the range of frequencies the bag claims to block. the same case could be made with other kinds of signals the website lists that have some kind of range associated with them.

- again, just putting it out there that i have NO IDEA how radio signals or otherwise work, but maybe the amount of tags in my bag created a combined signal strength that overwhelmed the bag? i don’t even know if signals can do that, but if they can that might be an explanation. after i started beeping, we went back to my lifter friend’s car and ditched all of the tags inside the bag before continuing (cautiously) lifting. for the rest of the day, we were careful to ditch tags as frequently as possible to limit the number inside the bag, just in case this theory had any connection to why i beeped.

that’s all the information i can give you about my bag. overall, i’m SUPER pleased with how it’s working out for me—i’ve been able to steal upwards of $1300 worth of merchandise with it so far, so the cost of the bag was money well-spent. even with the rouge beep at VS, i would say i have confidence in the bag for use while lifting. although i do still have to stay vigilant whenever i pass through towers, you should ALWAYS be alert, booster bag or not, when you leave a store, and never assume that you won’t beep.

i hope this post could help some people out—and if anyone has some kind of knowledge that could concretely explain the beeping incident at VS/PINK, it would be much appreciated (for me, and anyone else who uses any kind of booster bag).

happy lifting :)

How To Guide

My friend, who is now on lïftblr, and I have been working together for some time. Instead of telling them all of this in person, I’d rather make this post public for all newbies or maybe people who need a reminder.

-

General Apperance:

I’d say about half the job is acting the part. You need to LOOK and FEEL innocent. To trick yourself into thinking you’re doing nothing wrong.

-

You can’t look like you’re doing something wrong. Don’t dress sketchy, don’t look sketchy, and sound sketchy. Don’t walk in with your hood on. Dress how men or women usually dress. Blend in. If you’re black, sadly you will be a target more often. Lean away from “ghetto” fashion and if you get caught, I’ve heard of people getting away with claiming the race card. It’s up to you if you think it will work in your situation.

-

Anyways, here are a few pointers you can see as a general guideline.

Don’t wear all black

Dress nice, but not too nice

Don’t wear too many bright colors. Neutral is best most of the time

LP look for those big black structured bags. Try using a wallet to hide things under or a more neutral bag

LP also look at teens (especially groups) so if possible, go alone. Make yourself look older.

Dress like you belong there. If you’re going into hot topic, pop in your piercings and wear all black with that MCR shirt. If you’re going into old navy that blue jean skirt and button up will be great

-

Behavior:

For behavior, the “Don’t look/feel sketchy” is really important. Here are a few tips.

Don’t immediately walk to something and grab it. Shop around

Shop your way over to what you want

Don’t look for/at cameras. Find out the blind spots before you go. Look up but only with your eyes and use mirrors/your phone camera to check

Don’t conceal and immediately run out. If it’s an emergency, fake a phone call and pretend it’s urgent. “Wait..is she okay? When?”

Don’t avoid staff. If they are SAing you then drop your shit and leave. If they ask you if you need help don’t say “oh I’m just looking.” Say, “no I know what I’m looking for. I just got distracted.”

Don’t walk around quickly or too slowly

Look NORMAL. You’re not doing anything wrong, remember?

I tend to make a different personality for myself when I plan to “obtain” something unless I’m with friends. More outgoing and assertive. A law abiding citizen with some time to waste or a birthday to catch. It helps

-

Friends:

Going out with friends? Don’t. But if they too are participanting, here are some guidelines.

Don’t be loud and obnoxious

Still follow the dress and behavior points the best you can

Look out for each other. Set of codes like “what time is it” means there is an SA and “how’s your cat” is there is a camera

Set up your own guidelines. For instance, me and my friend know that if one gets caught, the other pretends they knew nothing and they don’t admit to anything unless someone shows them proof

Your partner should know the laws in your area and shouldn’t be cocky. Neither should you

-

Things To Avoid:

Talking about lïftîng in store/parking lot

Taking your stuff out in the parking lot

Whispering

Concealing on camera

Letting people see you conceal (they may decide to tell on you)

Leaving hangers

Leaving visible tags

-

And thats it! I hope this helped. If you have any questions, feel free to leave an ask! My ask box and DMs are always open 💗💕 bye!!
