Follow that up with some work on a weak area and assistance exercises that will help improve whatever weaknesses you have assessed to be there. This will not take long and you will make improvements. If the bar speed is too slow with a target weight drop the poundage until the bar speed comes up and then work from there.<br /><br />I would phase in the work with the wraps & belt followed by the suit as you get closer to a peaking phase of your training. This could be added after you had done some speed work or .....this could be what you do before you drop the weight back down to a working set for speed work. That way you feel the heavier weight with the gear and are thoroughly warmed up when you drop the weight on the bar. I've used this method and found it worked well for the confidence and the amount of work done on squat day.<br /><br />$.02 :)<br /><br />McLifterMcLifternoreply@blogger.com
