Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350 835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq	Hi Guys Im competing in the qulaifier for Scotlands Strongest Man in Feb and one of the events is a 280kg deadlift for reps. At the moment Im having problems getting down to the bar, what is the best way to break it in, making it possible for me to get the max out of the suit? Cheers Guys Ken

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	You don't want to break it in. It should never be easy to get to the bar. If it was then you might as well not wear it.

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator	Post Edited: 07.11.2007 @ 17:05 PM well its tricky as the tightness of the suit doesnt want you to get that position, but even in a suit i needed a perfect start point (some dont however, tonys form looked a bit off but he is able to pull much more) what i did was struggle down to the bar and anchor my hands , have a quick 'moment' then whip myself into what i deemed my perfect start position and rip that badboy off the floor ! 230 x 2 / 240 / 250 (i did ditch the suit as my lockout suffered too much) if you watch tonys 275 he takes longer to get to the bar and his tight suit nearly makes it impossible !! but thats good !!
