Dl day

[Iceman1800]

first time using metal dl suit. I really need practice in this suit, my hips tend to shoot out quick. I ended up doing almost stiff legs on my work set.

I have heard the suit is awesome once you get used to it. I was told to use around 60% for single reps after I do my speed squat with the deadlift suit on. Keep us posted on the use of your suit!

I heard it's awesome for smaller lifters, but it sucks for the big boys. But keep us informed on how it works.

Well, I'm not small(weigh 260, lift 242) so I should be a good test. The suit feels loose until about in the 1/2 squat position and then it just flat out stops. I really explode up but have to re-learn staying back on my heels.

That's what I have heard, the suit really locks up when you get half way down and you have a hard time grabbing the bar. My Marathon suit is like that!

Doesn't Ruggeria use that suit?

I hear he loves the Metal Pro Squatter suit, not sure about the dl suit.
