Competition Oct 14....When to start trainig w/ suits?

[mm107]

Hey all

Will be doing a contest on OCT 14. Bench/Squat/Deadlift

I have the following suits

Inzer Phenom Bench Shirt
Inzer Bench Shirt (tight as hell)
Inzer Squat Suit ( Too big need to customize )

Now im on the 5x5 plan right now. So i might have to change things around with the plan.

Today i am going to follow my original 5x5 RAW and then throw the bench shirt on to just get into the groove of things.

Should i stay training raw, and use the suit lightly to just get used to it and use it fully in competiton, ORRR should i train heavy now with it so i can REALLY be readdy for it come competion?

K to all!

I would start using it ASAP, I just did my 1st equipped comp, and it took a lot longer than I imagined to get used to the equipment, esp the bench shirt.

I ended up spending about 10 weeks trying to get the line, and a touch in it, and in that time lost 40lbs off of my best raw press, so I actually pressed less in the shirt this time, than I did raw 3 months ago.

But it was worth the sacrifice, as I am now fairly comfortable in it, but it took a long time, (for me anyway).

I heard Teddy is having a meet in October, what day?

I train at Otom in greenpoint(non pl gym) and a few others in Long Island and NJ. It depends on where everyone is training.

Tomorrow I am going to train in Riverhead (exit 73), and training with John Bernor and Chris Taylor (strong guys) your welcome to come. Let me know. I'm not sure when we are starting yet though. Either 3 or 6 and we will be there for about 3-4 hrs.

I am going to the asylum meet. It's going to be SICK!!! They run great meets and are really cool people.

*** When you call the best western to make a reservation tell them you are there for the meet or else its booked solid.

WOW your preerty close!

Teddy was supposed to have a meet but he backed out i think last minute. He keeps saying sometime in OCT, but i need (like most in training) to know when the exact meet would be. OCT 14 is cool cuz its a set date, and if teddy has a comp when i get back even better. I need all the expierence i can get...

THANKS for the invite brO! Really appreciate it. I train late night these days because most of the time i got work from 8am till 4, and then i drive out to L.I to go to C.W. Post for nutrition. SO by the time i get out of school its usually 8ish. Thank god colliseum is 24hours!

Glad i found a local bro on here, especially one going to the same meet! This is my FIRSt meet EVER. So im going for expierience, but honestly since im in the juniors (just turned 20) i might have a chance of placing rather good in the tested division.

My stats
5 '11
193lbs (bulking to 198 for comp)
Bench: 275x1 RAW ( i cant seem to find the groove in a shirt yet)
Squat: 505 w/ OLD ASS Squat suit
Deadlift: 505 RAW

So im gonna be BLASTING some weight i hope. I hope to get recognzied, not sponsored but i want to be 'part' of this bb community.

im calling right now to reserve.....
=]

drop me a pm so maybe we can train hardcore one day...i need a change of pace
