I’ve been sponsored by every gear company as you probably are getting at. Titan in 2006. Inzer from 2006-2009. Metal from 2009 to 2014 and OK from 2014 to 2015, then back to Inzer from 2015 to present.
None of these manufacturers make bad gear. But there is the obvious winner – Inzer. Inzer is well rounded and has many different types of wear for those who are built differently.
the SDP is the most user-friendly shirt ever made. Literally guys bench 300-400 in the same shirt they hit 700 in. I’ve seen it happen for over 10 years. I saw Mike Schwanke bench 335 in the same shirt warming up as he hit his 3rd att at 694 in.
Predators are the most durable brief I have ever used. They will last a long time and when you triple ply them with grid, they will last forever. I still have the same pair I got 10 meets ago. They are just now going to back-ups after 30+ (maybe more) squats over 1000 just because I can do that and want a new pair.
The new LUP is the easiest suit to use, and the best canvas for your buck, by far. They take some getting used to as they have a lot of different setting capabilities with the side panels, but the majority of canvas sucks for a reason – they are impossible to fit correctly – the LUP takes care of it. Â Go out a weight class and you’ll have to buy everything but a LUP, keep that in mind.

Brian Carroll is committed to helping people overcome back pain and optimizing lifts and movement. After years of suffering, he met back specialist Prof. McGill in 2013, which led to a life-changing transformation. In 2017, they co-authored the best-selling book "Gift of Injury." On October 3, 2020, Carroll made history in powerlifting by squatting 1306 lbs, becoming the first person to break this record. He retired with a secure legacy and a life free from back pain.
