[kingc_79]

i just got my dbl poly squat suit today and i was gonna try it on w/o pullin up straps bc of new tat and i couldnt even get the bottom portion on. does anyone have any tips or anything that would help me get this thing on? do i have to use baby oil or ky jelly or what?

Don't use oils of any kind....bad for you grip.

You just have to work your fingers under it, and work it up and around the leg...get the leg openings where you want them, then work on pulling it up from there. It usually takes 2, maybe 3, of us to get me in my suit...and it's not a fast process. Once you have it up around your hips a little, you can have someone pull up from the front, sides and back, then lunge, sit back in it, etc...to work it up more...then have them pull again. Eventually you can loop one strap over a barbell while the other person hangs on it from one side of the barbell and you hang in the suit from the other side. That usually gets the sides smoothed out once you're done.

....it's exhausting.

exaclt like spatts said. i find if you pull it up as far as you can by yourself, then you grab the leg opening and work them up as high as you can, then grab the back of the breifs at the top, pull, while moving your hips around. then if you need to grab what you can by the crotch area and pull that up from there. then grab the front and back and move your hips around. lunging to the sides helps some. and with practice you should be able to get them on by yourself, i can put all of my meet gear on without any help, except pulling the straps up on my shoulders.

also, i wear compression shorts as underwear under my briefs, this helps tremendoubly in getting tight gear on. fabric slides much smoother on fabric as opposed to skin.

It is time consuming with a tight suit. Baby powder might help you out a bit. Just wait til you see the size of this Titan suit I am sending you.
