So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Yeah, as much as it is super bad ass, lifting with the suit just takes some of the glory away for me. Originally Posted by KelJu

Nonetheless, it's still a whopper of a weight.

I know what you mean. I think suits should be banned. WTF are they still allowing those things for. Originally Posted by fufu

How does the suit increase what he can lift? I thought a suit just prevents injury ...

Awesome lift. From what I understand, the suit doesn't help all that much on the deadlift, as Sean already stated.

Hard to say, but deadlift suits cannot be as aggressive as a squat suit, or the subject could not pick up the bar. I dont know if Andy wears anything other than his belt, and a singlet, which is required. Originally Posted by fufu

From his right side its hard to tell, it almost looks iffy. More than you have noticed this. However in the past he has BLOWN away his lifts, i.e. 933 deads he makes them look easy, then holds the bar for probably around 8 seconds to show everyone whats up. Originally Posted by The Monkey Man

I simply think this one was so damn close to a true PR for him, that it was just, that close. He held at the top so I'd vote that he locked out, and 3 judges present from various angles agreed unanimously.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Everyone sure was happy he got it up there, they went beserk at the end. Awesome lifting. That guy is a machine, it baffles me how 900lbs doesnt look like it bothers him at all.

I don;t understand how the mechanics of a suit would boost the poundage on any lift. What's it doing? looks like a thick shirt to me.

same principle as the bench shirt. they are basically really tight suits which sort of force you stand up straight (and help you get up to a straight position from a squat position), which is why the don't do much for a DL. For a squat you can use an aggressive/tight suit in which can't move because the weight of the bar on your back will help you get down in the hole, but if you use a very tight suit for the DL you won't be able to grab the bar at the bottom position.
its been said on here before that the nature of the DL is that its really the rawest form of lifting there is (straps can help, but they are illegal in competition)."The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." -Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate

yea, the DL suit doesn't help as much as the squat suit because you have to bend down to grasp the bar.
I don't know what they get out of the suit though....maybe 15lbs? 20lbs? 30lbs? it is not as much as the squat suit though.
Even if he is getting 50lbs out of the suit, that is still insane.
I think what is even more insane is the fact that he is holding half a ton in his hands (and pretty casually). There is nothing to help with that. That is pure strength!Optimum Sports Performance

Agreed. Not to mention, some of his 9xx pulls he showboated and stood at lockout for like 5 seconds firing up the crowd. Andy Bolton is a beast. Originally Posted by P-funk
