    If you squat wide also, your squat suit will probably work well for both. Most guys I know who squat wide and pull sumo will pull in their Titan Boss or Inzer Canvas. I'm not sure about guys who use Metal.

    Titan's Velocity is a very good conventional suit, but I've not tried the sumo version.

    I used the wide stance velocity at my last meet... i bombed in the deadlift. the suit was a bit tight, I had problems with the legs rolling up on me and pinching the crap out of my legs when I tried to get to the bar, and I couldn't hold onto the bar because of forearm issues..... So make of that what you want. I dont' think my evaluation of that suit is a good one, but I think its based on me, not poor quality of the suit.

    I personally am beginning to think I pull best in just a pair of single ply briefs. I dont' think the suits are what they are cracked up to be---at least if you are lifting in single ply.
    Finally ELITE @ SHW..

    Single ply: 920 squat, 760 bench, 530 deadlift= 2180 total
    Multi ply: 960 squat, 770 bench, 550 deadlift = 2250 total.

    The next stop: PRO total.

    I like something looser, my canvas is too much to deadlift in. I use a worn out Pro squatter. I had a King suit that worked pretty well, but I grew out of it

    With respect to the Metal King Sumo Deadlifter, is that the IPF approved version?

    Thanks.

    Damn, 125lbs is pretty good. I have heard nothing but good things about Metal sumo DL suits.

    How long did you have to work with the suit to get that kind of increase?
