Suits are great for helping eliminate fatigue from holding the weight at the bottom of the lift while you wait for the judge to give the lift signal, but they don't help with the actual press. Too any people think that suits actually lift more weight for you, and thats not true.

Regardless, suit or no, dude is a beast. He's got the strength. Now, I want to see him get out there and improve his speed and quickness. A few points off his shuttle time and shave some time off the first 15 yards of his 40 and then I'll be really impressed.

bullshite. Eliminate fatigue? I don't deny that it probably aids in this but the fact is most suits require a certain amount of weight just to get the bar down to parallel (squat) or to the chest (bench). This alone means it obviously aids in lifting the weight in the bottom range of the lifts.
