Well, tried my squat suit out today, pretty impressed.

[tatortotajigalo]

Well i got it on, this was what i was originally going to do, and it took about an hour. lol.

So anyways, i havent worked out in about 2 weeks becuase of football practice. so im guessing my max is around 315 right now.

back the topic.

I tried 275, got about 1/4 of the way down. lol.

Did 315 and got about 1/2 the way down. by now my eyes are bloodshot.

Put 335 on and got to a little higher than parallel.

Put 365 on and did 3 reps to parallel, they were very easy and explosive.

Got 385 for 2 reps to parallel, very easy and explosive reps, i think i could get around 430-440 with knee wraps. I really like this thing, cant wait until i hit my next phase of hard ass workouts which will last about 8-12 weeks and then max out with it again.


BTW, i bought the Titan centurion plus, not super plus.

personally i dont think you should use suits yet


you should milk everything youve got RAW first

all i can see it doing for you is creating false confidence

I kind of agree, I mean I am bout your weight and I can squat 350 for 4 reps, and I am now where near as strong as I could be.

I would wait a while longer to use the suit.
(Just my opinion, do whatever makes you happy).

[biggestdudeever]

i would wait till you get 400 raw then start using the suit, right now a belt and some knee wraps are all you need if you wanna get a little boost imo.

yea, i bought the suit to start getting used to it, when i compete, i will buy the nxg super plus. but i will put it on and hope to be at a 405 raw max when i compete, and then with the suit and wraps, i hope to be around 500.


theres a pic of it BTW.

[jesse kellum]

The more that you wear it,the better that you will get at using it.Wear it every other week.One week raw,then one week with equipment.Goodluck JK

thanks for your input, i beleive ive heard your name before sir.

[JTwood]

honestly, i would never use a squat suit, or a bench shirt or anything like that. the only thing i use is a belt and some chalk (im talking for deadlifts too). all that suits and shirts do is up your PR's. its not YOU lifting that weight its that suit/shirt of yours. i rather take my time and build my way up. thats just me though. looks kool though.

what part of competition don't you get?

are you saying you wouldn't use a suit when you are going for a record?

I don't like gear either, but i would be a dumbass for not using it if i had a record i wanted to beat in a gear fed.

Congratulations, you're 16 and making dumb posts. Feel proud.

Wow, do you get nosebleeds on that high horse of yours? Yeah, that suit and shirt are lifting the weights...Do you even know how gear works?

I commend you for your choice to go without gear, but please spare those of us who do the holier than thou tone. kthnx.


**Back on Topic** The suit looks like it's a good fit. I would take Jesse's advice, I hear he knows what he's talking about when it comes to gear.

[Danimal]

lol you guys are funny!

Tator, good luck with the suit. Believe it or not, you can and will get stronger with your raw lifts by using the suit.

[ArchDukeOfTops]

Don't worry about folks flaming ya for wearing gear. Get good in it and put up good numbers. When you put up a good total in a meet, no one can take that away from you. . . .(unless you squat as high as Mike Miller)

[ArchDukeOfTops]

For those of you who don't know who this is, he just benched 750 in a meet not to long ago (at 220?) and I've seen a video of him blowing up 800 on a 1 board in the gym. Listen up to what he says.

[Big_fuzzy]

tator in a suit, looks good man!!!

In my gym gear and powerlifting are curse words... god damn oit i feel so nostalgic, i just wanna go back to my good ol' sumo deads, wide ass par squats, chains and bands, oh how i miss it. and benching, been so long since i benched

Good luck Iron Brother, powerlifting or olympic, were all the same. Were all trying to make heavy chunks of iron defy gravity.

[AngeloBangelo]

Wow, I never knew squat suits added so much. Maybe I could take my state squat record for the junior 181's. I just made that thread about me doing 315 for 10 being my new PR with only a belt, let's say my squat max is around 390... Squat record for IL is like 430. Your suit added more than 40 pounds, right? That'd be pretty sweet. Plus I'm only 21, so 2 more years in the juniors... Maybe it's time to compete! w00t.

oh yea, i didnt even get in a warm up set.

so my squat at that moment was around 315, i havent squatted at all in 2 weeks, and have been running. I know i could have got 405. So i know it added more than 40. I cant wait until i get used to it and add knee wraps, i plan to hit around 455 soon in it, by November.

And yes, you could get 430 with a suit.

[AngeloBangelo]

Wow, I thought squat was my weakest lift. Fair enough then. It looks a bit... Um.. Tight. How uncomfortable is it? How long were you in it for?

[UHCougar05]

New suits can be uncomfortable, but they can be ordered a size bigger for support without the excessive tightness.

[tatortotajigalo]

lol. very uncomfortable and hurts like a bitch around the legs, head feels like itll blow off, but i think its kind of fun going through all that.

[Danimal]

And if you get one that fits right, you'll get all kinds of blood blisters on your hips and thighs lol.

[tatortotajigalo]

well i guess mine fits right then. lol.

[lifterg]

Good luck with the suit. Like JK said practice in it.

It will get more comfortable. They seem to stretch up about a size once broken in.

Ignore the people flaming. They don't compete, so they don't know.

Also, try it for deads. Some people have a harder time getting the form. It won't make a huge difference, but it can give you a little pop off the floor.

[UHCougar05]

And if you get one that fits right, you'll get all kinds of blood blisters on your hips and thighs lol.

But if you get a PR, that's all that matters. I still have a scar on my upper thigh from where my suit bit at my meet in March.

[dalywm]

seriously why would you use that you dont even lift that much. Those are meant for guys who are pushing more than 800 and are at the point where they only make gains that are like 5-10 lbs a year. Anything under that is just a way of cheating to see yourself lift more.

[strongman07]

I can do a 580 with a suit and a 505 raw.

[JTwood]

Wow, do you get nosebleeds on that high horse of yours? Yeah, that suit and shirt are lifting the weights...Do you even know how gear works?

thanks for the commendment, but my point is that I wouldnt use gear because lets say you have a 300 pound bench. u throw on a shirt and it puts it up to 350 or somewhere around there, the shirt didnt magically give u strength within you. thats awesome for you guys for setting new records congrats but i rather make new PR's raw, my self. sorry if i offended any gear users...
