    Equipment request

    Okay this is a pretty big request, I only ask because I don't know anything about equipment. If no one wants to do this its cool.

    Would someone look at this video, and recomend IPF legal gear for someone with my technique (sumo squat, sumo dead, medium tuck bench). My goal is to buy a bench shirt/squat suit that makes me change my form the least

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCZghjHc8oA


    Or if you don't want to watch the vid and just shout out your favorite ipf legal gear that would be helpful too. Just from what I've heard i think i'd like inzer and metal the most

    From what ive heard, the Metal single ply bench shirts arent the hottest thing. I have a titan centurion and that thing is amazing for single ply, id recommend it for sure. With sumo deads, id go with a wide stance squat suit, might need one with looser straps for pulling, but very possibly could use the same one that you squat in.

    The bench shirt specialist will be able to better help you, but the Inzer/titan single ply shirts are amazing. You dont seem to touch too low, so id think a Fury or Rage would be best, but i could be wrong

    Thanks for your reply. As of right now I was thinking a rage x shirt and a metal king squatter v type ipf. I don't know if these are the best or very good at all. Why did you suggest the rage instead of the rage x?

    i would go with a inzer trx for both your squat and sumo pull i was getting 150+lbs for squat and 100+ for dl
    as for bench i would go with the f6 over the rage x its easy to learn and when you master that shirt i would up grade to a katana a/s.
    for wraps for ipf i would go with atps strangulators for knee and wrist

    I was going to suggest an f6 as well. I know very little about gear but from the little I have read it seems to me like it would suit your benching style and would be easier to learn.

    Learning easy would be a big deal to me, but if it means not ever havting to upgrade I would rather spend a long time getting used to something than shell out another 100$

    low yes but not that low I don't think. Like I said I've read very little and it seemed like the f6 was the shirt that would work best for me and OP benches similar to me. But thats why I tried to add a disclaimer to mine, cuz I don't really know what I'm talking about

    It has a very big groove. I have just about no arch and use the F6. I touch just below my nipples. I used to use the fury but the biggest flaw in the fury is that it tends to shoot the weight back over your face on the way up. The F6 does not do this.

    Well, I've used a Rage X, a Metal IPF shirt, and a Katana. I can say that by far my favorite shirt that I get the most out of is the Katana, hand downs. Thing has crazy pop. I hit a 425 at a 198, a 40 lb PR over my Rage X.

    If you have to go for a IPF shirt, I'd say get a Katana. If you aren't competing IPF, go with a double Katana or double Rage X. I've heard great things about both, although no first hand experience.

    For a squat suit, I'd go with a Centurion with the NXG+ super. Titan owns the single poly gear imho. Metal is good for multi feds, but titan definately for IPF.

    If you need a suit for pulling, I just use the Centurion backwards. All good things to say about Titan.

    As for sizing, you're 220 now, I'd recommend a 44 Katana. And it'll be a bitch to fit into, but you should be able to use it all the way up to 242. I bought a 46 at 220 and although it was tight at first, they definately lose their pop quickly so I'd go with a size smaller.

    Hope this is helpful?

    yeah I hear great things about titan. Everytime I listen to the purepowerlifting podcast they always talk about how 55 out of 59 medals were won by people using titan gear at the IPF worlds. Obviously thats just an ad but I thought it was a cool fact lol

    My friends. My family. I ask of you one final time to gather before me.
    Tonight we shall leave this earth as legends. Our only way to never die.
    This will be our requiem.
    In the company of death we walk side by side.
    Cast your differences aside for the lives sacraficed.
    I ask one final time to unite.
    Earn the right to stand with pride.
    We are in the company of death.

    If you have to go for a IPF shirt, I'd say get a Katana. If you aren't competing IPF, go with a double Katana or double Rage X. I've heard great things about both, although no first hand experience.

    For a squat suit, I'd go with a Centurion with the NXG+ super. Titan owns the single poly gear imho. Metal is good for multi feds, but titan definately for IPF.

    If you need a suit for pulling, I just use the Centurion backwards. All good things to say about Titan.

    As for sizing, you're 220 now, I'd recommend a 44 Katana. And it'll be a bitch to fit into, but you should be able to use it all the way up to 242. I bought a 46 at 220 and although it was tight at first, they definately lose their pop quickly so I'd go with a size smaller.

    Hope this is helpful?
    Helps a lot man, all things are considered. Thanks

    Wow that is an impressive little statistic. Maybe I need to give them some big thought

    Maybe why I don't hear as much about titan is becuase mostly multiply stuff makes the news the most

    in my last meet i used a titan centurion nxg super + to squat (by far the best) and a katana a/s in bench (by far the best but not for a beginer)and a in trx to pull sumo in .
    the reason i recommended the trx is i only got about 20lbs lees in squat out of it but the centurion was to low cut in the chest for dling (dosent help for lock out)and the centurion digs into the thighs which could lead to the bar catching.

    also the reason there are more titan ipf champs is because they have better shipping for over sea orders.if you look at the usa lifts ie. brain siders and wade hoope they where inzer trx's
    pr's drug free
    squat 865 geared / 650 raw
    bench 625 geared/455 raw
    deadlift sumo geared 650, conventional geared 625 / 645 raw

    I have a katana and not really a big fan of it. I get more out of my F6 than I did my katana. In saying that, there is no one best shirt out there. You have to find what shirt you can get to work best for you.

    So you like the trx because its good for both deadlifting in and squatting, as opposed to other squat suits which you found poor deadlifters?

    I actually liked my Titan Centurion 44 wide stance for sumo pulling better than squatting. The Katana is a great shirt too. Right now I'm selling the Centurion to get another suit. Maybe an Inzer single ply for the misses (TRX or Hardcore) or Metal pro gear for me. I don't think you can go wrong with the Titan Centurion 1st, Inzer TRX 2nd, and Inzer Hardcore 3rd.

    For reps I can usually hit my 5rm for paused maybe 6 times touch and go. For 1rm I honestly thing my paused is better than my touch and go from leg drive. If not better than equal

    its becuase I never practice touch and go....I'm right now 22 weeks out from my next comp and have already re-introduced the pause. I'll do sets like 225x10 with touch and go but as soon as i move down to the 5's or so it'll be pause every time. Just curious how does touch n' go v pause reflect into a shirt?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCZghjHc8oA


    Or if you don't want to watch the vid and just shout out your favorite ipf legal gear that would be helpful too. Just from what I've heard i think i'd like inzer and metal the most
    Definitely, go with the Inzer Rage X
