The History of the Power Suit

        The Power Suit^® first came into being in 1982, as a collaboration between two World Champion powerlifters and two of the greatest squatters of all time, Mike Bridges and Rickey Dale Crain.  Between them they have dominated the world and national squat records in the 148lb - 165lb - 181lb and 198lb classes through the 1970's, 80's and into the 90's.   Mike and Rickey Dale designed the "Original" Power Suit^® as a joint venture after the 1982 World Powerlifting Championships in Munich, Germany.   Soon afterwards Mike took the design and created the Mike Bridges Suit while Rickey Dale refined the design into the ultimate squat suit we now know as The Power Suit^®.

        In the late 1980's a new Power Suit^® was designed in the tradition of competition, which was meant to allow the lifter to squat and deadlift more than he had previously dreamed possible.   In the 1990's, building upon a design by Fred "Dr. Squat" Hatfield, Rickey Dale Crain took the design to the absolute limit, creating the "Outlaw Power Suit^®".  The Outlaw Power Suit^® was field tested on hundreds of beginning and advanced squatters, lifters of all heights, weights and body structure.  We tested teenagers, open lifters and even the master lifter.  The results produced the ultimate design in a squat suit.

        Look at what this extraordinary investment will give to you:

1. Extreme tightness in the hips. (this is where the largest amount of initial power is generated)
2. Not too tight around the chest so you can breathe properly and maintain proper form. (it will not pull you forward)
3. Straps are comfortable, yet tight enough to lock you in.
4. Tight enough in the legs to stay put and give tremendous support, but will not tear up your legs.
5. A new "Power-Lok^TM" seam design that starts in the front of the thigh, runs up the front of the suit, over the shoulders, down the erectors, over the gluteus, and ties into the middle of the hamstring area.  It is a "BULLET PROOF" design that provides the ultimate in safety and durability!
6. The shoulder straps are rip proof and will literally hold thousands of pounds.
7. As you squat it starts tightening up immediately, which also makes it a good deadlift suit, due to it's early support structure.  By the time you get to the bottom, the explosive power generated by the polyester doeskin material is tremendous and beyond belief.  You will explode up with incredible speed and velocity.
8. The Outlaw Power Suit^® coupled with the Big Red Power Wrap^® made for an awesome power combination in strength gains and performance.

Personal Note:

Rickey Dale Crain has broken more State, Regional, National, International and World Records in the squat than anybody on this planet.

He is the "Master of the Squat"!

Who other than he would qualify as the most knowledgeable expert in designing the Perfect Squat Suit and Wraps?
