Take a meaurement of your hip circumference and call the guys at www.elitefts.com.
They are really good and finding out what you are looking for and in need of. If they can hook my lame ass up, they can definately help you.

got mine the other day it will take at least 2 people to get you in them..
measure the widest part of your hips..
EFS has updated the sizing chart but the briefs are not really based on your weight..its strictly a hip measurement..ive seen a lot of peole say the chart is off and have come to find that they used their weight to size the briefs..dont make that mistake..also like chamb said give them a call or email if you have any questions

beast, if you turn them inside out and put the legs on first and pull them up as high as you can then pull up the waist, they are easier to get on. they will loosen up some after a few times of use. i like breifs a little looser that my suits, they don't need to be screaming tight.

you will need them with the suit. you don't need the briefs super tight, but you want the suit very tight. get the slippers, you will thank me after you try them, my slippers are the most important peice of gear i own. i could not get my dual quad suit halfway on without them. i have used them to get on a tight poly bench shirt as well.

plus like you said i would rather train in briefs that are NOT super tight this way when putting on a tight size ill get that much more carryover
..thnks for the tips

yup, good idea, id get a size bigger on the briefs, and always use them to train box squats wide. your hips will thank you when you are my age, if you do. on the suit you want it tight enough to where you need help to get straps up, if you train alone you can use the bar and hook the strap in it and let your weight pull it up and slide in it. the leg press machine works well for this too, matter of fact thats all its good for imo
wnt2bBeast said:
yeah, no problem. i get a ton of support yet they aren't overly tight. they fit fine under my dd squat suit too which takes someone helping me get on

Feel your pain with the breifs and suits. Here lately, my partner and I have been looping the shoulder straps, one at a time, over the end of the smith machine bar and hanging and humping until it gets up in the sweet spot!
I knew that machine we be of use some day!

Does anyone know how they compare to the Frantz briefs?

For the money, the Frantz breifs are good and a lot cheaper in price compared to Metal. I think the Viking material is superior but expensive.
I was messing around the other day and decided to do speed squats in my viking v-type squatter, single ply, and it friggin at me alive. I did 9 sets of doubles @ 275 plus green bands choked to death and they friggin ate me alive.
One of those DE squat days where you know it's gonna hurt like a bitch but you just don't look!
