bench shirt\suit

[princessofdarkness]

so guys, let me pick your brains again. with my pb lifts (200lb bench, 400lb. squat, deadlift??) do you think it's a good idea for me to purchase a shirt and squat suit and start training with them on or keep going without?

 

[Screwball]

The use of equipment will add to your training. Your raw numbers will move up as your equipped numbers move up. If you want to maximize your training you have to train with equipment from time to time. IMHO.

I think the guys at Westside wear some pieces of equip when they train, like erector shirts or groove briefs or suits with the strap downs, for added hip support and / or protection. At least this is what I see in the videos.

yes. Get a shirt and a suit. Do your box squats with a suit on with the straps down. Your hips will thank you.

We also do board presses wearing shirts at least once or twice per month. I have had a pretty big jump in my bench since we started doing these.

definately get it...

and i hope you know that your total could put you at elite status in PLing.. elite at 132 is 927 for a female..

so if you deadlift is decent. you could probably total elite.

are you serious??? even with a shitty deadlift? (about 300lbs)
holy, i just pl off season for the hell of it

with a 327 dl, coupled with your 400 squat and 200 bench, you would just make elite for a female. congrats. with a suit, i bet you could easily get it.

looks like your built for PLing to be honest... just work on the dead.. big deads is what wins the meet.

I'd say do what you like more.. PLing is more fun (to me at least)

And me and you have about the same lifts..

My bench is around 200, i squat 325 (equipped) and dead 360...

at 140 bw....

i wish i could squat as much as you! especially raw!

300/175/330 in the 132 class (i weighed 129.4) for the 14-15 age group..

....just got measured for a bench shirt, 44inch shoulders!!!! already use raps on my knees (anything over two plates) i'll go from there...any suggestions?

 

[Deciever1]

suggestions... hmm

well i'll post here what i posted in a previos thread...

would suggest getting a champion suit to train in, and a Titan custom tailored to compete in.

You can use the champion to get used to feel of the suits, and the titan to reall kick some ass. The titan custom tailored is supposedly better than the hard core, but around 1/3rd the price, and is completely custom made just for you.
The Champion runs about 40$ and the custom tailored 65.

As for bench shirts, get a HD Blast and then a fury..
The HD blast will ge tyou use to benching in a shirt, and then the fury will be you meet shirt.

The fury runs you about 85$, the HD Blast about 55$


if you cant afford all that, then i would just get the titan fury bench shirt, and a Titan Victor squat suit(50$) (the titan victor is the same as the custom tailored, except it only comes in stock sizes.)


Im not the greatest with equipment, so dont take my word like its always correct.. i feel i know alot about equipment.. im just not very experianced with it.

from what i've read so far i will take your word for it, thanx again your wonderful

 

[Deciever1]

thanks
just some other information ...
those pieces of equipment are allowed in all feds that allow equipment..

there are more advanced suits and shirts, but i think you should stick to the basics for now.
