Ermantroudt, you think maybe your suit through your form off? I know once I tried a DL suit (it was a crain in fact), and it through me out of form. If its the same crain I am thinking of, it doesnt work well for conventional (at least I found).

Lose the briefs. I cannot get to the bar in both at all. My last meet i pulled in briefs and singlet. You could also get the straps loosend. Dont let it hex your confidence. My first workout in anygear ALWAYS sucks ass! Different groove and feel. You got time , so gear up every week till then. Concentrate on form then weight. You got time.

PL Jay:
You think I should wear the suit every week for Dynamic Pulls?

it wouldn't be such a bad idea to use the suit more often. I remember when i first talked about ordering a bench shirt (and I stil don't have one) all these guys from elite told me I should live in it first i.e. sleep in it get a few workouts in it before using it in a meet. So from that I would think that you have to use the suit more often if you have a meet coming up to see what it takes for you to do good in it. Either way your stil gonna get something outta the suit. it's not like you just put it on for that one day of the meet and your gonna blow more weight up. (but i'm sure you already knew that)
