One of the spotters was kind of standing with his feet right under the plates... not really smart if you ask me

Haha, 500

Would that be of any benefit at all if I were to do it? Or just a huge chance taking?

haha, well youre still having to do a ton of work, its all you at the top but its a royal pain in the ass getting into gear and learning to use it. The suit helps you out of the hole like a sling shot, the canvas suit literally catches your hips, feels like you sat into a swing.  Its kind of like pushing an already moving car at that point, if you keep it moving you got it, you let it slow down and youre fucked.  The last time I put on a canvas suit we almost had to cut it off of me, I was literally PULLING down as hard as i could with my hip flexors and still couldnt hit parallel until the weight got over 600lbs.  It felt like a toy on the way up though.

 You still get stronger in a general sense in bench shirts and squat suits, and one of the benefits is that it gets you used to supra maximal weights and strengthens the hell out of the top part of the lift. The downside is how uncomfortable it is, and if you dont do any raw lifting you get very weak at the bottom of the lifts.    Training with very heavy weights in a bench shirt made my triceps grow more than anything Ive ever done.  If you wanted to try it, I would definitely go with a single ply ipf legal suit at first, its much easier to lift in and learn the suit.

I don't see any female...

Unless we talk about Brittany Grittner or whatever it's name.

 I do, I see one that has spent a massive amount of time and dedication under a bar, to develop a strong body.  You might prefer the ones who spend the majority of their time putting on make up, looking at themselves in the mirror, giving head, etc., but when a female is dedicated enough to achieve something like that it deserves respect. 

 I really wish people would think a little before they bash people like Brittany Griner, she is a great athlete, has done nothing personally to you, and regardless of this just being the internet, going around calling a girl a "it" or a "man" is hurtful, especially considering that shes still a kid.  If you make fun of someone for acting stupid, doing dumb shit, or something that is a CHOICE, thats all fine and dandy.  But youre bashing someone who has done nothing to you, for something that they have no control over, its similar to making fun of someone for having a birthmark on their face, being too tall, or the color of their skin.

 Do this Raptor, go to any Brittany Griner video on youtube, and read through a page or two of the comments.  Guaranteed you will see tons of similar remarks to the ones you just made.  Now consider the fact that SHE probably at some point has read some of those comments, from people she has done nothing to, possibly with her friends there, family, etc.  If you think thats ok for things like that to happen to a KID, who did nothing to those people, there is something wrong with you.
