Considerding a USPF in July

[Mike_Rojas]

I'm considering a USPF meet in July. I've never competed before. What equipment would you recommend? I don't have anything right now (not even a belt!).

 

[Mike_Rojas]

My raw numbers right now

Deadlift: 365
Bench: 305
Squat: mid 300's (haven't maxed)
Bodyweight: 210

I know I'm not exactly going to break any records, but it's something to work toward.

Belt - I have an inzer lever belt, LOVE it.

Singlet - whatever

Squat suit - I have an Inzer hardcore, it is pretty sweet.. but there are a lot of options out there.

Bench shirt - Again, lots of options, but it seems like the karins double denim is one of the best out there.

I believe their rule is single layer poly.

Titan Dual Quad, it's single ply and fits great, I actually wore that with Frantz dble poly breifs in my first APF meet.

 

[Cuthbert]

Ya I would go with the Titan then.

But if you want it by July.. order it within the next couple days.

agree with cuthbert..go with titan but do it early though. i would recommend the basics,
- belt,
- some chalk,
- singlet or suit(would go with z-suit or hardcore),
- wrist wraps & knee wraps, and a
- bench shirt(i would recommend, since you've never worn a shirt, either single-denim, standard blast(inzer), or my favorite titan fury).
right now i would get the belt, chalk, & the wraps(wrist & knee) first. then you can focus on the other two. tb

For a shirt, I would go with the Titan Fury. I have heard really good things about the Titan Dual Quad suit as well.

The Metal bench shirts and suits look pretty good also, I have a couple of friends who use them.

Thanks for the input. Titan takes months to deliver?
