Deadlift Suit Used for Squatting?

Bigger Stronger Leaner Beginners

I am an newbie aspiring powerlifter with a current deadlift of 405. I plan to compete in a powerlifting meet on March 21st and I am looking into getting gear.

Unfortunately, being laid of from work and spending most of my money on protein leaves me with little money left for suits. If I get a squat suit, can I also use it for deadlifting and vice versa? Will it be counter-productive? Will it be even slightly helpful? Any thoughts and idea’s are greatly appreciated, much thanks!

A squat suit is a better purchase.

A DL suit will not be as versataile (sp).

I frequently squat in a DL suit, and I like it a lot. I used the DL suit because I borrowed it from my coach, and his squat suits didn’t fit me. I have recently purchased a squat suit, tho.

Any other opinions? So far there’s one vote for a squat suit, one for a dl suit.
