Luke 9-6-11 Squat

My breast nuggets are still sore from incline bench on sunday. I felt super exhausted after work (biked 12 miles today) so I took a 30 minute nap before gym. I felt surprisingly good at the gym though.

I ordered my gear today. Although I believe that raw lifts are a much truer measure of strength than equipped, USAPL collegiate nationals is backward and ignorant of this fact, thus I must compete in gear to have any chance at placing.
My order:
Titan Super Centurion Squat Suit- Size 36 (148)- Wide Stance- Blue
Titan Katana Bench Shirt- Size 40 (165)- Angled Sleeves- Blue
Titan THP Knee Wraps (most supportive and tightest)- 2 meters
It cost $237 for all items including shipping. With student discount the super centurion was $115 (regular would have been $90) the Katana was $90 (super would have been $109) and the wraps were $16.50 I think. They said they would try to get it to me by Sept 30, but orders usually take 4-6 weeks.

lol it sounds like you're making excuses just in case you're bad at using gear.

fo sho, but I do have to uphold my image of hating on gear so I don't look like a hypocrite using it lol. I'm worried though. It might be really hard to touch and hit depth
