[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 948534, member: 53057"] Ah right makes sense. I’d have thought the suits were fairly common? Hall’s 500kg pull was in one and I know they were allowed use them at USS Nationals even if not everyone uses them. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to try any equipped lifting but it’s really interesting to me. There’s a guy on my team who used to do it and it seems you have to be fairly mad to really get into it. It’s possibly more technique focused than raw lifting but half of it is not being afraid of the ridiculous weight you have in your hands or on your back. I was listening to an interview with Natalie Hansen (the Stronger by Science podcast which is a great listen for anyone who loves lifting and sarcasm) who broke the single ply bench record in the 84s with 202.5 which is insane but I was surprised to learn how variable the results of a deadlift suit are. She said her deadlift is actually sometimes a few kgs worse than her raw deads. [/QUOTE]
