Okay Im gonna be getting a Deadlift Suit in the next couple of weeks. I know there is Inzer, Titan and Metal suits. I would like some point of views on which one will be the best to get? So feel free to give your opinion.

It depends on your pulling style. I have a very close stance deadlift and I like to use the inzer for that. I am sure you will get lots of feedback on this topic from other guys that use the other types of suits, but I still say it depends on your pulling style.

I have a metal pro squatter, I know its designed to squat in, but for a 18" deadlift does anyone think there could be a positive carryover? Basically what I'm asking is can you use a squat suit for a partial deadlift, because I know there is no way I could get down to the bar for a full deadlift in one.

I've used several Deadlift suits over the years including ones from Metal and the various Inzer Suits. I've had very good luck with Inzers Fusion Deadlift Suit. The suit is single ply but quite a bit stiffer then the Max DL suit and other deadlifting suits, sizing is very important. Before the Inzer Fusion suit I used a Metal Viking squatter that was one size large to Deadlift in with good results.

I have a genisis power suit from crain
I know it is not a great one but it was cheap and since I only used it in training not contest it works ok right now I don't fit into it( been really lazy now it is kind of small) it but i should soon.
sizing does make all the difference in the world

not a lot of experience with suits but for what its worht, i bought a metal king a few months ago and am happy with it. One key selling point was the velcro straps can be adjusted so it can be easier to get one that fits, on and off, and tighter or looser depending on your starting height, which can be important in strongman. really pulls good through the hips.

Metal Pro Deadlifter will make a man out of you. I would say get the King Deadlifter, but since this is your first suit Metal Pro is dam good.

which o is the easiest to put on by yourself? I train alone for the most part and it might get a little ackward asking someone to help me put my tights on.

I usually just use 2 trash bags and the suit slides on pretty easy with some pulling but it is alot cheaper then having to buy those slippers or whatever they are called

Are some suits (squat or deadlift) better for partial or 18" deadlifts than full pulls?
