Monday Squat Suit

Today was my first day trying out my new Titan Superior squat suit. I have to tell you, what a difference! I can't believe how much more comfortable this suit is compared to my Inzer Z suit. Here's what happened.

Squats - bar/12 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/3 reps.
Put suit on.
Suit Squats - 315lbs/3 reps, 365lbs/3 reps, 405lbs/2 reps, 4x(455lbs/1 rep).

I was wearing my belt and I found I couldn't get down to parallel. When I took the belt off I was able to get parallel at 315, 365, 405lbs. No belt 405lbs for 2 reps!!! I put the belt on for the 455lbs because I was going into unknown territory. I still found it difficult to get down. All the reps were very controlled and felt quit easy. Easy is a relative thing. I'm sure I'll be up over 500lbs in a short amount of time. 455lbs didn't feel much heavier than 405lbs. I'll try things out at the HHG to see if I'm doing things right.
