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.
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.

IIRC suits also require you to 'fight the suit' at the bottom of the lift and take a considerable amount of technical know-how/practice before it will actually benefit you.
It's not a magic leotard you jump into that increases your deadlift/squat by 20 lbs. It's not a bench shirt
I'm not a powerlifter by any means though, I don't have the joints for it by a longshot
