last time i talked to you you gave me some advice on using my first squat suit,no i have a prob with my deadlifting.i can get 455 in my suit and i cant lock out nothing higher than that,hell i can 455 raw,the suit is tight as hell cant hardly breath in it,someone said the straps being so tight can affect your lockout,if thats true how do i go about loosing up the straps without buying new suit?[/quote]

You will need to find a good powerlifting seamstress or send it back into the manufacture (titan, inzer ect) to have some material added to them.

ouch mine come from texas,i wonder if there is any in nc?or how do i go about finding 1,i have an inzer hardcore that was gave to me

i got a inzer hardcore but i try to pull sumo cause partner said its easier,but i cant get down low enough i think,im going to try something new all con deadlifts when i do deads again wed night

Nice…

My now sub 230 lb body is itching to get crazy this week in the squat rack.

I weighed in last night at 230 on the nose…can’t even see me if I turn sideways…I hate it, but the wife says I look sexy…

I got a centurian NGX super+, size 44 wide stance, from a guy to try out, the straps are shortened, so it should be interesting. Have you tried one of the new Super+ suits?

Nah, my old 44 Centurion with straps shortened is a lot of suit. i will see how it feels at around 225. Three years ago getting 700 to depth was hard at 227. Will adjust as needed.

i am the slimmest 5’7" 230 lber you ever saw…

LOL!

Jeff,

No, you just have to take a very short set up step. Looks good. Really push your abs against belt before you come out of rack.
