At WSM you have to wear your competition shirt over the top - Giants its ok. If its in the rules, you do it. I dont understand if 80% of the competitors use a suit and the others dont people feel that the 20% that didnt use a suit are being ripped off? What are your thoughts Terry?

An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300 732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 03.04.2014 @ 06:03 AM by chaos I'm all for using suits in strongman! For me its all about the show and if wearing a suit helps the competitors lift more weight or move it more times then the better! The strongest guy will still win! Thor wasn't unlucky; he chose not to wear briefs or suit even though they are allowed, just as tacky is, straps are, elbow sleeves..... If you want to show off static strenght then unequipped powerlifting is the stage to do that! edit: just seen post above! my sentiments exactly!

I feel some guys get much more out of a suit than others so that doesn't make them stronger. I personally think they should be banned. I wear suits but get have no issue with not wearing them as I get next to nothing

Member 4760, 203 posts	Do suits offer some protection against injury? That would be the only reason to continue to allow them.

I disagree. I feel invincible when I pull in the suit. Back feels wayyy more protected and I ache far less afterwards compared to pulling raw.

To be fair, my back is too long to really ever get into a good position for deadlift but i felt the suit made it even harder personally.

I'm the opposite. When I used a deadlift suit it felt like a full on fitness session getting the thing on and off! Brought me out in a mop sweat. I guess that's what I get when taking suit sizing advice from bullet-tooth Tony!
