Fancy having a dick about with a squat suit or maybe deadlift suit for s**ts and giggles just because I can but other than the limited range of Titan stuff that Pullum do I can't find any UK suppliers. Found some decent prices on a German site who ship to UK but don't want my angus getting hammerfisted by customs when it comes to import tax. In b4 equipped lifting is for phags.

For full range from states also. If your OK with used, then a fair bit comes up on powerlifting kit for sale in UK on Facebook, people often poss wanted as well so may get lucky

Member 5366, 1090 posts	Cheers mate, Don't like the thought of used, I know just how stinking my non-supportive titan suit gets and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy haha. After some digging it appears that Titans super centurion squat suit has good results for both squat AND deadlift and Pullum happen to have one in stock in my stance and size so may have to give it a go.

Help me rescue my Insulina. Member 5366, 1090 posts	So suit came yesterday, it ended up been a size smaller than what I originally ordered as stock was wrong on website but was assured the next size down would still fit given measurements. Well at first I was adamant it was too small but having forced it on a few times it now goes on a lot easier. Tried it today and could I f**k get anywhere past half depth, more weight may have helped but I had no spot and given how different the suit felt I didn't want to risk going too heavy and losing balance. I wasn't even wearing my belt either which I imagine would make it even harder. I've read that if you can get a suit on, no matter how tight then it fits and it just needs 'breaking in' - can anyone relate to this? After half an hour of much frustration and funny looks from people thinking I must be some sort of half squatting ass clown I decided to try it for deadlifting which ended quite abruptly as I couldn't even get to the bar without crushing all the air out of my lungs. Not sure whether to get my money back and sack off the idea of equipped for a bit of variation OR get a spot and persist in trying to break the suit in, hoping it will eventually give some. Any eq lifters have any input? As you can tell I have zero experience with eq lifting and neither does anyone in my gym.

The more you play with it the easier it will get and half the battle is getting the bas***d on im sweating thinking about it. I used to do a few warm up sets up to 180 or so then lob it on but by then your sweating and its harder to get on so putting it on from the start is an advantage just dont expect to hit depth for whatever weight it takes to get you down. P.s carrier bags around the thighs help to get it on! Happy squatting

Took ages and being wrag - dolled into it to get mine on. Taken a while to break in and get close to depth. Looser is easier to learn but offers less possible support. My centurion has loosened quite a bit with use.

Death by tyre anyone????? Member 2587, 692 posts SQ 335, BP 185, DL 310 830.0 kgs @ 142kgs Eq	Equipped squatting takes some getting used to. I find the suit tries to pull me forward so the line of squat is different and needs some mental adjustment. I tend to put my suit on at 70% of my eq max, straps down. The first couple of reps are shockingly high whilst i get it sat right. Im sure it looks laughable to the rest of gym half sqatting 240kg in a girly leotard type thing. Persevere with it and in time it'll come.

Got myself a spot, warmed up to 180 then put bottom half on with belt, worked up to 210 then put straps up working up to 250kg Depth was not amazing but about there. Speed was good considering I didn't have knee wraps on either, just sleeves. Here's the 250: Linky link link
