Titan squat suits Posted by Dan P on 2/1/2008, 2:53 pm 66.212.131.200 I tried on a Titan Centurion squat suit (first I've ever tried.) My measurements are 45" hips, 27" upper thigh, weight 240 lbs. Suit I tried on was a 44. The thighs felt REAL tight (they measured 21" around at the seam.) My legs were popping out of them like sausages. As I tried to sit back it felt like the seam was trying to go down through the top of my thigh. I know this is a real dumb post...but I gotta ask otherwise I'll never know - 1) am I supposed to feel extreme pressure on the top of my thighs as I sit back and 2) does it seem to make sense that 27" thighs should fit into 21" openings and that be a reasonable fit? I don't know if I'm just being a candy ass or if I just need to learn to live with this and order myself a 44". (The suit actually could've been tighter in the hips, I think, because there was a little bit of slack.)  Post a Response

Your thighs are at the top of the range for that suit size. Most of the time if you can get it on then it is the right fit. How much weight did you need on your back to brake parallel?

I felt like it was trying to cut down through the top of my thigh so I stopped. Am I supposed to feel such pressure coming down on the top of my thighs?

Re: Titan squat suits Posted by Mike Adelmann on 2/1/2008, 4:58 pm, in reply to "Re: Titan squat suits" 67.60.9.9 I do feel quite a bit in my thigh. If you were to go up a size in suits it would probably be to big. Have you only tried the suit once? If so give it 1 more try. --Previous Message-- : I never got to parallel in that suit.

Re: Titan squat suits Posted by shawn on 3/1/2008, 1:36 pm, in reply to "Titan squat suits" 152.130.8.5 Ya, I put 575 on the bar and all I could do was pretty much unlock my knees. It felt so tight was I tried to squat, it just caught me off guard. --Previous Message-- : I tried on a Titan Centurion squat suit : (first I've ever tried.)
