Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Ok managed to pour myself into the size 36 with much hufting and shufting from Mr George and hang the straps over the dip bars and just danglling off them ala baby bouncer style....the dastardly thing went on but not 'all the way' and the hem was doing some serious cutting into the thighs.....REALLY didn't like this suit and fcking cacked meself when I tried to squat in it, it just didn't feel right. I have tried suit squatting before with the larger suit that was tighter when I was a tad larger and I really could feel the difference it was making but this time ALL I could think about was the hole the seems felts like the were ripping in my legs and that it was way to tight around the hips which would not have been an issue had I been able to pull the suit right up another 4/5" so that crotch was actually in croth position and not halfway down my thigh!!!!! This suit is a Titan (blue). Kind of put a dampner on training because I could wait to get the fcking thing off!!!! Box Squat 60kg x 3,3,3,3 70kg x 3,3,3,3,3,3 Suit came soooooooooo off! Rack Pulls 100kg x 8 140kg x 8,8,8 Good Mornings on Squat Machine 50kg x 10,10,10 Walking Lunges 22ish kg bar x 50 The next mission is to get a suit that is better for me, my size, measurements and lifting style so I have time to get used to it before I compete. So out of all the suppiers who is the one you would recommend to assist me in this endeavour? Not the suit that fits YOU best because that really is irrelevent but I am interested in a supplier that is interested in getting their customers the best suit for their purposes. | ||

The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | Well I just ordered a Titan Super Centurion. I am pretty much exaclty the same size as their size recommends for my weight and also glute/quad size, will let you know how that goes when it arrives. You could always buy a custom suit, this is a more pricey option though. | ||

Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Yeah this is an option but like you say it's a bit pricey especially for first suit! As mentioned suits are pretty much made to suit blokes so us wimmin folk may go in and out in the wrong places....and it seems my tighs may be a tad chunky | ||

I do have one I could ask but although a very seasoned bencher she hasn't done all 3 lifts fully togged for a while so any feedback you could get would be ace! | ||

Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Ok bit of catch up here! Sunday ME Upper Bench 50kg x 3 x 8 Dips 10 x 3 Standing BB Press 30kg x 10, 35kg x 8,6 BB Curls 22kg,27kg,32kg x 10 DB Hammers 30lb x 8 x 3 Lying Rolling Tri Extensions 25lb x 8 x 2 Mon ME Lower Deads 60/100kg x 5 120kg x 3 140kg x 1 150kg x 1,1,1,1 Box Squats 60kg x 6 x 4 Leg Press 145kg,195,245,295kg x 10 GHR - 8 x 3 Reverse Hypers 10 x 3 with 10kg ankle weights Lying Ham Curl - 40lb x 8,8,5 Abs Pretty chuffed with the deads and can definitely feel the improvement on this lift even after a couple of weeks. I am also happy with the way things are going on bench, the new groove is now coming more naturally and feels right, squat however I feel I have made no progress or non that I have been able to put to the test and notice. I think the tight suit fcked with my head a bit much as I had planned to squat that day but really didn't have the confidence to so switched to the box. I need to put my squatting to the test so next ME day I will do them and see what we can get out of em. | ||

I was so tempted to up the weight but thought it would be more productive just to keep at that and see what happened! 1st and 2nd felt good, 3rd was tough but 4th flew up (according to Mr George who doesn't blow smoke up anyones ass). I am quietly confident this may be my better lift of the 3 but time will tell! | ||
