From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	I get a little under 150lbs out of my bench shirt (single ply, open back, Katana) Before I lost 20lbs I was getting almost 200lbs from my squat suit (single ply) I've just made the move into multi-ply briefs; getting around 100lbs right now. Once I add the suit it's going to be rediculous support haha

I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5 500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq	Thanks for the info. How do people go about chosing a shirt or suit, the choice seems vast.

Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210 682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq	Titan are usually a good choice for single ply lifters, the gear is not too hard to learn

Depends a lot on if you have training partners too, and what they use. If I were training at a gym where everyone benched and squatted in Titans, I'm probably going to be able to get a lot more help with the gear than if I were the only guy wearing a Rage-X haha

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	paul_richards said: Thanks for the info. How do people go about chosing a shirt or suit, the choice seems vast. Ideally for your first set of gear you should try and get something from a training partner that's broken in to the point they're not using it anymore. After that, the advice I was given was: get a Titan Centurion, and a Katana (a/s if you arch, s/s if not). As Keenan says, if you train with equipped lifters, use what they use.

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	Alex said: I'm s**t off the chest, pretty sure I could lock out 140kg though, anyone at Adders use a 44" shirt? Alex, your training has been anonymous for some considerable time now - what are you lifting and what is the BW? And what Pec Building Mission have you been on to get a 44" chest??

Yes I do arch (or at least I try to) but not much as I am not very flexible. Who uses a dedicated deadlift suit ?
