Squat - bar x5

255x3
455x3 add Ace Briefs
545x3 hit parallel on last rep
635x1 add Metal Pro Squatter, high
685x1 high
705x1 high
705x miss *I tried to dip when the gear loaded up and the only thing it did was push me forward.

I was 1-2" high on a lot of these. The Ace Briefs are too much for me under a squat suit. I think when you have good form, it takes a lot less support to get carry over from the gear. I am not ready for that level of support. It reminds me of the Metal Bencher where it's like nothing and then the whole freakin' world for about 2 inches. I don't like it at all.
