I'll order knee wraps this week. I'll probably get Inzer Z. I was wondering if there's a significant difference between 2.0 and 2.5 meter wraps in terms of strength; although, if it's complicated to tighten the longer ones on my own, I'll just get the shorter ones. As you can judge by my avi, I have a lean build (that's a pic at 145lbs!! back in my bodybuilding days), so maybe I just need the short ones if you think it's appropriate (I'm assuming the longer ones are for thick/big Powerlifters, but I could be wrong).
I want to get familiar with both squat stances, wide and narrow while using knee wraps before I order a suit.
The main reason why I want to compete in the single ply is because I think it would be easier to wear during training than multi ply, and I'm usually alone at the gym at 6:00am (except on Saturdays), so I won't have buddies around to help me get in my suit to practice.
Currently, I use VS. Weightlifting shoes to squat high-bar, ATG; obviously that will have to change since I'll start doing low-bar wide and narrow to see how comfortable I feel. I'll probably wear my old chucks instead of my weightlifting shoes which have a heel. Do you think I should get powerlifting shoes or just use plain sole shoes for squatting?

After seeing a hard workout you may want to complain and want others to pity you for the work you have to do. Your mom will pity you. Your girl will pity you. I may pity you, but your competition will not pity you. They will step on you, walk over you and spit on you. � Boris Sheiko

If you want to get srs weight from ur suit you should stand wide. And you can't get on a tight single ply suit by yourself. I needed 2 ppl to get on my deadlift suit and that one is not extremly tight.

Hmm, the best raws I did while dieting for bodybuilding were:
@165 lbs.
Narrow Sq: 335
Bp: 200 ( meh. Bodybuilding numbers)
Conventional DL: 375.
I'll be honest,
I might be too old (immature?) to say this, but I used to read a Manga called Gantz, one of the appealing points was that the main characters would wear spandex looking suits in order to get ripped and achieve super human strength. That's why I wanted to do single ply (hey, at least I'm honest!)
Of course, if it's difficult to get into a squat suit to practice, I'll just grow up a pair of balls and compete raw, lol
Fyi, I go to a powerlifting gym, so the people there could help me adapt to single ply. They arent there at 6 am during the week though.Last edited by Pokarface; 04-07-2014 at 01:11 PM.
