Ben_Something | Deadlift suit | 03-01-2014 @ 21:52 | |
The legendary Discus Ben Member 1550, 476 posts | I'm a few KG heavier nowadays and looking for a new deadlift suit. I'm after some advice from the more experienced equipped lifters: My old Titan velocity seemed to do the job, but I've no idea how it compares to other brands. What do other people use? I can't remember what I paid for my suit, is £145 (on pullums sport) the going rate? My old suit was a 44, given I'm 10KG heavier would 48 seem about right? | ||

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Get a Metal King Pro with adjustable straps. You can start off with them loose and then really crank them tighter the more you use it. | ||

Got about 30kg on my sumo reads with it, maybe 10 on my conv. Currently in a metal pro squatter. Have you gained 4 inches on your hips? What did you base the 44 sizing on? | ||

The King Pro is a different ball game altogether though. Edit: I deadlifted in it, I meant to say. | ||

the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | I find the Metal fabric is very unforgiving, making reps in it hard, although granted I didn't have adjustable straps. Inzer Max DL was much better for me, slightly more forgiving so probably not so good for a powerlifting kit whore 1RM but for strongman I found it much better. | ||

I agree, great for maxing, not so great for repping. You can loosen the straps though for repping to get the best of both worlds. | ||

The legendary Discus Ben Member 1550, 476 posts | Thanks for all the replies guys. It sounds like everyone uses something different, I'll have a look at the Inzer max DL and Metal King pro. I quite like the idea of adjustable straps. | ||

Cut toe in half = bad day. Member 4359, 3581 posts SQ 270, BP 140, DL 310720.0 kgs @ 137kgs UnEq | I mithered Terry on facebook about this, I have a metal king pro but I was struggling to get down to the bar with straps reasonably tight. Aside from the advice he gave me, he said for a conventional puller Metal deadlift suits are by far the best. | ||
