old fat fingers needs to find 10kg Member 192, 640 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 245 735.0 kgs @ 122.7kgs Eq	Post Edited: 08.12.2009 @ 09:37 AM by cuntos Mark did an apparently effortless full squat rehearsal before addressing the bar. Ergo, his suit is too loose. BUT not too loose for his first comp!

I stand by my comments made it my previous post. A tighter suit could be got, but I have doubts above the amount of improvement your would see from the extra tightness. That is the only point I wish to make I await Ayebygum's comments with interest

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25565 posts Administrator	I cant see mark entering the realms of a 30 minute wrestle with a suit a-la-joe just to get it over the knees ...THEN the marathon hanging from the smith machine begins ... but it would produce an enormous squat i would think great to see tom posting again with full vim and vigour.

I thought my suit was tight, but I got it on in a couple of minutes with suit slippers (didn't manage to get the arse right up until I squatted with straps up though). And yes, if a larger gent wears a suit as tight as Boar is describing then I fear he may burst!!!

Although another person was the other half we agreed as a whole. He was 'only' 25kg heavier than me on the day, but looked twice as big. That's what you get with having mahoosive arms and shoulders and no beer gut....

The Giant of the Winter Giants Member 155, 132 posts	..... I bought him that suit from pullum in 2004 (i think) its a 5xl ( after not getting 4x over his thigh).....took him an hour to try it on for me back then.... (with my help).... bad experience, refused to entertain me again.. Until he started going to adders...? He has only used it a handful of times...Strongman seems to be more reps - so he doesnt wear it then. so i guess the straps could be shortened, but how do you then get him into it? not sure who helped at the weekend?... his broad back makes it very difficult if not impossible......And he pushes the same weights without the suit? So I for one would LOVE to see what he could do with a suit if it makes that much of a difference.

So I for one would LOVE to see what he could do with a suit if it makes that much of a difference. Hmmm. I understand perfectly what you say about the straps, shorten them half an inch and he will never get it back on. I do find it very difficult to believe that he pushes the same weight without it. He may have done in the past, but he hasn't really tested it yet. When he does I will be very surprised if it gives nothing. I guess we'll just have to see over the coming months. Thanks for the info though. I can only imagine his reaction to the first time he tried to get it on. We've all been there.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	nathan said:is GBPF a tested fed then?? Yes, it's the IPF affiliate and subject to IOC testing. I agree with the particular difficulties of getting a tighter suit onto Mark - with shorter straps it would be nearly impossible to get the straps over his shoulders, although they'd be ok once on. Tricky.
