Help....I'm stuck

[Illuminati]

Literally! I just got my new Metal Pro Deadlifter in the mail. I was all excited that I thought that I would try it on to see if it would fit. God Damn thing is at least 1 size too small. It locked onto my thighs worse than the squat suit, I'm all alone, and can't get the damn thing off. Go ahead, laugh, its pretty funny.

on the other side of things. notice the swelling in my left leg in the first pic. that is why I haven't been training much lately. (well, first my back flared up, then when things were getting better, this thing with my leg happened) Got a whole bunch of fluid in there. Its preventing me from really bending my leg too much, and its pretty painful. the swelling has actually gone down some.

Hilarious.

I had it semi-worse when I got stuck in a wetsuit in a store with a tiny dressing room. Had my arms so wrapped up over my head I could hardly open the door or even see. Had to waddle out randomly calling for help in all directions. I do blame the clerk though that insisted that it would fit me.

Times like these are for reminding us all not to take ourselves too seriously. We are only a step away from looking like an idiot.

yeah, I got the thing off. its just that the stitch pattern really locks into the thigh. i just had to give a couple of good yanks on it.
after I got it off, I was looking at the tag. at a quick glance, it says 48. but when I look closely, it looks like the tag originally said 44, and someone used a pen to write an 8 over the second 4.
I got to call them (guys over at elitefts.com) and tell them, and see what I should do. the write up in the Metal Gear book, says that you should be able to put one strap on by yourself, and need help with the second, otherwise you won't be able to get down the reach the bar. with this suit pulled up as far as i could get it, the top of the straps don't even make it to my arm pits
i'm excited about this suit. i have heard a lot of people say that they an easy 50lbs out of the suit. once i rehab these injuries, and can start training hard again, i should be in the mid 600's in no time.

Hey Illuminati,

I have been there more times than you know. We were trying to get a training partner out of his Ginny canvas and couldn't.....so we figured the best thing to do was to pull him around the gym. Picture a 280lbs guy helpless as a midget(me 5ft5) and a 330lbs guy drags him around the cardio area.....We just had to make sure he couldn't find anything to grab on to. Oh the look on people's faces! Priceless!

What happened with your leg ?

What happened with your leg ?

I'm not 100% sure what happened. the only thing that I can think of is that one of my friends was showing me some take downs, and submission wrestling stuff and it got a little heated one night. The next day my leg was all swollen, and full of fluid. but there is no bruising, so it doesn't make any sense. its going down now, and its almost back to normal. still some pain, but i should be back to full force next week.

i could imagine! that would be a sight to see. I've almost gotten stuck in my squat suit before. i got the hybrid + double canvas. that thing has locked on to my legs to the point where it has taken 3 people about 10 minutes to get the thing off.
