canvas or boss wanted

[suffolkmike]

i am looking for a canvas or boss suit for a 75kg lifter. my waist is 33" hips 35" and i got the strongest 22" pins in the uk i rekon!haha currently doing 270kg in the squat with a centurion. any advise on what a boss or leviathan would do for my squat?? cheers.

I reckon a t-rex would fit you fine too. I've got similar numbers - 32waist, 37 hips (not sure where you measured) and 23inch legs at 5ft10 and i wear a 34. Also got a 38 centurion which is a tight fit. If i were you i'd get a size 32 t-rex. Not sure if the sizing is the same for boss or leviathan, but you'd fit perfectly into a 32 t-rex which is a great suit.

Ahh, the memories of a 32inch waist brings a tear to my pie, sorry, I mean eye!

thanks for the advise. i currently squeeze into a size 30 centurion. i like em really freaken tight! how does the t rex perform against the centurion?? and are they single ply poly?

you fit into a 30 centurion? how? i wear a 38 and it leaves nasty marks on my legs, and they aren't much bigger than yours. The t-rex is a 2ply poly suit with velcro straps on the back so they're really adjustable for squat/deadlift. I love mine. haven't squatted in it straps up yet. I have preds which are basically the bottom half and i reckon they give me as much if not more support than a full cent, so you can imagine what the full thing cranked up will do! In around 2-3 weeks time i'll be squatting in my t-rex straps up and i'm thinking i won't hit depth if i get the straps tight with 210ish kg. Will have to have them a bit loose. It's all experimenting around now, i'm planning to squat in my preds and the t-rex with VERY loose straps on sept 30th. See how training goes so i don't mess up on the big day

i told you i like em really tight! i may try the t rex suit then. but i will be lifting in the bpo next yr so they wnt allow that suit. i guess i will have to get a single ply hardcore.i would really like to try a heavier suit as i am sure i could nail 300kgs in one.

[suffolkmike]

is it the bpc uk on sept 30th??? as the bpo have their uk championships on that date as well which i will be competeing in.

Get a Boss without velcro straps. You can use for both BPO and BPC.

Velcro is not allowed in the BPO.

The boss looks a bit pricey but it looks like the best suit you'll be able to wear.
