I'm HUGE!  It took forever to get my suit on, then my legs were turning blue and all I could feel was pins and needles in my legs.  The toss up: tighter suit = more support = bigger deadlift OR let out suit = better set up = keep form.  I opted for the second.  I have never had so much trouble getting to the bar which threw off my starting position; it was like a whole new deadlift which I am not inclined to learn a week before the meet.  Also, I'm assuming all be blown up after squatting and benching so it would be even harder to get into my suit at the meet.  All things considered though, I'll try the suit on again next week and decide whether to take it in or not.  I can always let it out the day of the meet if it is too tight.

I have two more trainings, one on Friday for bench openers and then Sunday for squat opener, then it will be time to rest.
