Hi bro, well thank you very much..
I'm in the 90kg class at the moment but hoping to move up to 100kg... I feel that if you compete in a suit you should really do a lot of training in the kit. The groove you hit on the squat is different to that of a raw squat. I would say in defence though that its a good idea to get as strong as possible raw first then work in the equipment. I have done a lot of raw training over the last few month's. I bench to a pb or near my max raw then put my shirt on and keep working, closer to a show I will put my shirt on a lot sooner.
