[d@n]

im looking to buy some equipment so i can get used to using it as soon as possible. i need some advice on whaqt to get i know i need wraps,bench shirt,deadlift suit and squat suit (i have a belt) but dont know which ones i should get? and adice would be apreitated

All the new Metal kit is very good and Titan is also a favorite , depends on many factors as to what type of kit you decide on , if you dont have a lot of experience then single ply also there are probly more comps for single ply.
Double ply is for more advanced lifters and the equipement they use in competition is different ie monolifts which are also harder to find in the gyms you train in.

[d@n]

theres a monolift in my gym (not that i have a training partner to operate it lol) but i think i will have to go with single ply anyway.

I have used quite a few companies over the years but now i maily use titan. I have lifted in single ply ever since competing.

The centurion is the best suit in my opinion. If you look on ebay you can pick one up on there quite cheap. The shops called batten athletic. They do bench shirts as well.

I like the fury but they are prone to bursting, even with me and i can't bench.

Thats where i would start so you are not forking out too much at once.

liftinglarge.com are very cheap, Titan Centurion is an awesome suit, erm and make sure you get the correct stance one, and for bench make sure you choose angled sleeve or straight depending on what you do :) ..

titan all the way baby

[altug]

Titan from www.plgearonline.com. Reasonable price, very low shipping rate. Owner/World champion P. Ribic answers all questions with patience. (I work for Titan more than DEL and still have to pay for my equipment! What a shame! :D)

Titan centurion for squatting and deadlifting, titan f6 for benching in 2metre inzer iron-z knee wraps. Very basic stuff, easy to learn and you can still get quite a bit of support from them. Centurion was my first squat suit and i've still got one now after 3 years of competing.

[d@n]

i have gone for a Titan - Superior Squat Suit NXG+ should i get briefs and a deadlift suit? or will thos do for the time being? im thinking about getting a f6 bench shirt in the near future.

[Phil R]

the F6 is a great shirt imo.

there are lfter out there who get sponsored by makers , for examlpe Del is sponsored by TITAN, like myself.

[andy bolton]

nobody mentioned inzer surprises me as is bigger supplier than anybody all come down to lifters choice

the likes of matt kroc, chad aichs and all the elitefts crew are endorsing metal. ano is the owner of metal and also apart of the elitefts crew.
there are ties there.

at the big shows it seems like either metal or inzer canvas is the choice in the multi-ply feds

[Hellspawn]

EliteFTS, Metal, SS Power, Westside Barbell all work together in licencing agreements , equipement and t shirts etc are produced in Finland to cut down on shipping costs so the have very close ties , i just been messin with the new Metal kit and find it very good i will be using it if this dam shoulder gets a bit better

The problem is tat Pullum are very expensive, for everything. Plus I'm avoiding them after ordering a leotard and it taking 2 months to arrive!! They did get me my F6 pretty quick though.

[jamwithtupac]

can I hijack this thread for a quick response please, I did a 180kg raw squat last week and want to try briefs on on Monday squat session, roughly how much extra with consistent training in them can I get out of titan boxer briefs.

I was thinking at least 20kg-40kg? Ive tried them on once and found they helped A LOT!

well guy as andy said there is Inzer
i belevive the lifter needs to try a few to see what suits, i tried an inzer hardcore and it was not for me,
Andy has done well with inzer,
but i am in TITAN stuff and it works well for me,
but it goes to show you got to see what works for you.

What sort of fit are they? That's gonna be a major factor. I have a pair that are now about 2 sizes bigger than my squat suit and I'd say that I'd still get 20-30kg out of them.

Id say theyre tight enough, maybe not comp fit but i get them on within 3 minutes or so

[cuntos]

Just put them on and go up in weight until you can't do any more!
