titan custom made ngx

either the titan centiurion made with the new "NXG super +" material(the old mateila was called the "nxg +")
or the metal ipf viking pro squater. i would go with the titan product because theyare more known to make productsgeard towards the ipf and single ply lifting. metal products are more know for unlimited multi ply federations.
i have a single ply katana titan shit made with the nxg super+ material, and i am getting almost as much out of this shirt as i do with a double denim! the new material is real good!

Doc has a bit more experience with different materials, but I can tell you what I get from the Inzer hardcore. My raw gym squat (good by competition standards) is 600. With the Hardcore I set a state squat record of 812 in the junior division. I am still getting more out of the suit. My buddy Beck gets closer to 270 out of his Hardcore as opposed to my 212. I have been experimenting with buying a new Hardcore before competitions and working it in such that I don't break parallel with the new suit until competition. The results have been amazing. At parallel the stopping power is amazing rather than having weekened the material for months before a competition by going well below parallel. This is a bit off subject but I thought I'd mention it. If you get more than 210-270 out of a single ply squat suit, that would seem a bit insane to me.

BTW Mike Miller has recently stollen my idea. Yeah it's true. He recently bought a new suit and he didn't even break it in. So all he does is go down to where ever the suit will let him and then he goes back up. I should do PL standup.

good joke!haahaha! your buddy beck,is that jason beck?usapl national champ?

Yeah the Hardcore is single ply that I use in usapl meets. When I heard of others getting more out of their hardcore than I have I was a bit surprised. I have used a Z-suit and I have hit close to 7's, so you'd imagine the best single ply material is about double that, say 150-185 pounds but that's not the case.
Yeah Beck is a colleague. He's one of the better lifters who was nice enough to remember my name when I was at teenage nationals some years ago. He's one of the nicer guys out there. When there isn't any lifting to be done he's chatting, especially with younger guys of promise like me. He's always on PA's usapl chat board with Mann and big Niko. Do you know anyone else in my PA posse Doc? LOL I am sort of the runt that follows them around at states even though I am bigger than all of them.
