Groove Briefs?

[growin']

I hear they help the hips. Where do you guys get them, do they help that much, do you only wear them during training?

Gracias

I belive you can get them from Inzer or Frantz ... I think most people use them for heavy sets during training and sometimes for light / DE days ... AS far as how they help, well I have mine but can barely get the fu#@'n things on ... maybe I ordered it a little too small.. I finally got them on once after 10 mins struguling ... but after squating down with no weight, they did not seem to help at all Maybe someone here can better explain the "proper" way they should fit and work

i used to get them from frantz. i wear the same pair that i used to compete in at 308 6 years ago. i now weigh 260. they are snug but dont draw blood like they used to. they are perfect for training dynamic squats and ME days.

For competition, I would recommend something a little tighter. It shouldnt take 10 minutes to get on, but it should be tight enough to leave grooves in your skin. They will make the light weights harder cause it will push you forward. You need to learn to sit BACK in them. When the weights get heavier they are more useful, but again you have to learn to use them correctly.

speaking of which, time to order myself another pair for the june meet.

Does Frantz have a web site or a phone number to call? How much do these bad boys cost too?

Thanks again

Frantz has a catalog with prices. to request one call 1-800-537-5532. i don't have one of his but i've been told his briefs are almost as good as some of the others squat suits.

I have been told that most of the westside boys wear Frantz double ply suits either canvas or poly. So they must make a good product, haven't talked to them about the briefs but I imagine they are good also.

I actually heard first hand westside cuts their poly squat suits in to briefs. It were i got the idea. They cut the hardcore i cut my z suit into briefs. They work great too. With the elastic i will get in the waist they will just look like grooove briefs. But tight , and tight is good.

I'm a big Frantz fan. Mine arn't to tight , i can get in them in under 3 minutes but they still leave marks and i wear them only for heavy work occasionaly and speed day allways.
