 The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | Tony said: What you offer above is a huge selling point imo. This. Takes forever to ship direct from Metal sometimes so this would be a great help. Go on Buzz, stock the multi-ply stuff as well, be a star.  | ||

 enter the welsh dragon Member 738, 2297 posts SQ 372.5, BP 237.5, DL 355965.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | The Meal Ace bench shirt is the best shirt I have used. Having the arms tight makes all the difference in the shirt, Ano and Minna are good as gold with the sizing if you have your own correct size. The Metal King pro and pro deadlifter both excellent bit of kit. The Metal clothing is nice, I have tons of training clothing and its good quality stuff. | ||

Member 86, 297 posts | Post Edited: 27.07.2010 @ 14:53 PM by Ben_Tricky_Burgess I think in the single ply stuff theres a reason you dont ever see anyone wearing a Metal bench shirt, and rarely see anyone in the sq suits. The single ply DL suits are the nuts though and they seem to have the multiply market nailed. | ||

 Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | IainKendrick said:Wil you be stocking their news singlets (black and white) or the ones with a viking on? Not sure. I'll likely stock either the Titan or the Metal ones, not both. With all the sizes, and also the different varieties of the Metal ones, it makes for a lot of dead/slow stock. If there's something you want fro Metal, that I don't stock, I'm more than happy to order it in though. LukeC said: This. Takes forever to ship direct from Metal sometimes so this would be a great help. Go on Buzz, stock the multi-ply stuff as well, be a star. Again, I'll be stocking a core range, generally aimed at the strongman scene, but will get stuff in on request no probs. The range is already a minefield for me, so I'll start with one of each suit and a shirt, and then potentially expand the range over time. chrisjenkins said:The Meal Ace bench shirt is the best shirt I have used.

Aye man, that's what I said about folk being able to try the stuff on at events/stalls, and also at the unit.

The single ply DL suits are the nuts though and they seem to have the multiply market nailed. You think the reason is coz they're not as good a standard as Titan and Inzer, or just because they're not as readily available? Price will also be a factor I'd think? | ||

Mighty young Joe Member 675, 2271 posts SQ 272.5, BP 180, DL 275727.5 kgs @ 114.8kgs UnEq | I wouldn't bother with any of the viking single ply stuff as the king material is far better. | ||

Sorry Buzz, I didnt want to come across as a nag, I was just fooling around.  Im glad your stocking it. Your website is decent and you respond quickly to PMs so it made buying those knee wraps from you a doddle, ive already reccomended them to a few people.For people looking into buying Metal stuff this is worth checking out: http://www.elitefts.com/metal-manual/default.asp Explains the difference between the various suits/shirts. | ||

I have to agree with Ice...the Titan single ply squat suits and bench shirts are miles ahead of the Metal in terms of carryover. Although you do say you are aiming at the strongman market...i can imagine a Metal sq suit actually being better than a Titan in a squat for reps contest. Metal is way comfier and stretchier IME. I cant imagine hitting 12 reps in a Titan Centurion. | ||

They are the best briefs i've used and last longer then a single ply suit..good for training etc..although as you're doing this from a strongman point of view im not sure if they are allowed in strongman comps? | ||

Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Ok, so maybe King squat, deadlift, and bench shirt, single ply? Frio - aye, briefs are generally ok, at least where suits/equipment is allowed. Is it the Pro Briefs you mean? Luke - more feedback the better, didn't think you were nagging at all! | ||

He's talking about the single ply Metal sq suits and bench shirts. I think everyone generally accepts that the single ply Metal DL suits are good s**t. Its worth pointing out that Pullums already stock Metal im sure you already know that... | ||

Ben_Tricky_Burgess said: He's talking about the single ply Metal sq suits and bench shirts. I think everyone generally accepts that the single ply Metal DL suits are good s**t. Its worth pointing out that Pullums already stock Metal im sure you already know that... Yeah, I saw they have a fair range of Metal stuff. Boar rates the single ply bench shirt, but it seems a lot of you are of the opinion that the single ply bench shirts and squat suits aren't up to the standard of Titan/Inzer, and if this is the case, I'm not sure how worthwhile it is stocking them. Might even just start with deadlift suits, and take it from there. | ||
