    Equipment help

    Anyone have any advice on a squat and deadlift suit. I deadlift conventional and squat a little wider than shoulder width. I have competed two other times and used an Inzer Max deadlift suit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Doc, did you ever think about making one of those closed threads with basic info about equipment for newbs?

    Bro, if you don't know anything about eqipment, then my recommendation is to start out single ply and here is what I'd suggest: Hardcore by inzer. Doc will probably say get something with NGX from Titan. {Right doc lol} My experience is limited to the HArdcore, but I have set a junior record in it. I think all beginners should stick with simple equipment. As you get more experience you can move up in ply, but It requires more compliucated workouts in my experience.

    For deadlift, try something real simple like the plain Deadlift suit by Titan. I am sumo style, so you might ask someone who is conventional style. I think this suit is decent for both style and might even give me a bit more in conventional style at the top. As far as competing conv. I am not sure how it is.

    when itcomes to single ply, i am tiatn all the way! they make a deadlift suit for sumo and another for conventional, now if i wanted to use multi ply gear, i would say metal gear is the best out there. as far as denim shirts, i like karin klein shirts, but i know alotof people who dont, inzer probably does make the best denim out there, but you have to know how to order the shit and what modifications to make on it(grid stiched and radical cut), it realy all depends on what federation, how much experince and who you have to help you learn how to use the equipment .

    Just curious doc and angel what are yalls best lifts and what fed do yall lift in. As far as gear single ply- titan for a more close stance squatter and inzer for a wider stance. The titan f6 is a great bench shirt so is the inzer rage X. I deadlift both conv. and sumo and i really don't like a tight dead suit so i usually go raw or use some inzer power pants.
    Double ply- Inzer Canvas with Predator briefs, rage X.

    i used to lift drug free and raw, best numbers in a contest at 181lbs 540 squat 365 press and 600 deadlift, and a 1500lb total

    198lbs equiped, non tested federation and multiply 500 press and 650 deadlift, i havent squated yet in a contest, because i havent mastered the multi ply squat suit and briefs, so far in training i have been fcking around with 600 to 650lbs for triples, but i am having trouble hitting depth, i figure i will be good for 700lbs soon with a little help from those who know more about the equipment, i was a good raw lifter, i am a so /so equiped lifter at
    best

    my next contest, i am doing at 220lbs, press and deadlift only. will see what happens at the meet. i dont feel like droping weight this time.
