Sorry mate I haven't. The metal I dead in is just a singlet, never deadlifted in a suit. I think Inzer have a new DL suit called the fusion. Should be getting one in about a month.

Sorry mate..then disregard the message in your journal LOL
I am looking at a Fusion or Metal..some say Inzer is more comfortable...??
The last meet was assisted I believe...why not just dead in your squat squat? Some like it..I like it better than nothing as it keeps you tight.. I have only 8 days to comp, but wanted to try a comparison between deadlnig with my titan squat suit and my titan deadlift suit...see which feels better..I will likely make my attempts like 550-560, 600-605..then a PR of 620-625lbs

Saturday - Assmebled materials, cut em up and welded me some fine Farmer implements that end load plates...they feel like
around 120lb pounds naked , but need to weigh...will add pictures ASAP.
No training this week, comp on Saturday...I may go in a nd stretch a tad with very light weights, some ab work.
I am mcurrently evaluating some changes in routine to place more emphasis on Strongman. It would involve deadling heavy maybe every 3 weeks, hitting the stones double time, less bench work to be replaced with pressing
(some with log) My next build is a proper sled  I will post up comp results when available..

You ever tried bending at hips, gripping bar then dropping down to get pop from suit?
On a side note..I dropped a 200lb landscape timber on my index finger today..sore as ####..I think its going to turn blue  I don't think it will be a bother by the weekend(comp day)

I know comp is Saturday, but I went to gym tonight to try both my titan dead suit and my titan centurian squat suit. I only went to 455
for singles and I must say I "feel" better in the bottom with the squat suit..???? I likely will use it to dead in.I really juist don't feel vert much support from the dead suit. I wonder how the NEW conventional suits - Fusion, metal deadlifter are different.

That must be a tight suit, cause I have absolutely no trouble getting down...although I do feel support in squats, although I use a wider stance in squats than on deads..
My plan...not firm yet for comp is to open with 560, then 600 and on to a new PB attempt of 625lbs

Update ..finger is healing up well. Back however is so-so.
It felt fine yesterday and went for my usual pre comp tune up at Chiro..well this morning it feels worse..a dull pain off lower left side..Ice tonight maybe fix the prob.?
On a side note- I spoke with mny former coach whom is taking a group of arond 12-14 to comp and he suggested I do the follwing...knowing I have at least 600 in me suggested I hit a single of 525 in warm up, then open with 580..which would more than seal a state record in my division for IBP sacnction(local) then go right after the number I'm after 625 !! Sounds like a simple lpan LOL
I then said well what if I smoke the 625 he didn't have an answer although I'm certainly don't expect things to go that eeeaasssyyy Also decided to use my Titan Centurian squat suit over the deadlift suit...it just supports more and no prob to get down..

Tommy I read quite a lot inot it before buying a deadlift suit and decided to use my centurion - gives me loads of support, probably get 15kg (ish) out of it.

I certainly feel more supported in it, but am curious about the claims on the new Fusion suit...I found a used one that I can buy for 1/2 price... It claims to be tailored for conv deadlifters, as the Centurian is really not

When I bought it in 2004 it was claimed as a squat suit only..but as I said it feels more supportive even with my shoulder width stance on deadlift..
Well meet is in the morning. I plan on hitting 2 Ibufrofens tonight, get good rest and heading up. Most of the day
will be spent encouraging the younger lifters and a few of my aquantants..Meet starts at 9:30-10, but deads won't come to last..probably around 2 pm I'm guessing... After this meet the Strongman Stuff is getting TURNED UP A NOTCH 
If I got to cut back on beach muscle stuff...so be it
I'm for sure doing a Strongman on Aug 11...and even considering one in early June thats 2.5 hrs away..
MR MILLS - Hopefully we will meet each other one day.. in let say 2009-2010 105kg IFSA WORLDS

results on deadlift were 580, 625...7 more than my previous PB and at a lighter bodyweight, 640 fail.....truly felt I could have did it, but I guess I was too satisfied with the 625...and my motivator (slapper, trash talker) had to leave 
Next comp I plan on getting closer to 300kg.Vids can be seen at my link on sig
