I am making the switch from BB to PL mainly because I have found that even though I like the bodybuilder look, I just like to push heavy weight around. I bought a set of bands from iron woody and am going to hold off on using them for a little while I think. Anyways I am going to be doing a WSB routine with accesory work being mainly sled pulling once I build one and jumping onto a high box. I am just worried that it will be hard for me to hit PR's and such and even make it through ME day without a training partner. I mean sometimes I might have one but most times I probably won't. I can always ask for a spot obviously but it will be a pain in the ass after 12 sets of heavy work. Basically I am just wondering how well you guys that work alone do and what do you do to adjust to the fact that no one may be there to help. |

It would be tough without a prtner but not impossible.

Agreed, for the most part. Shirt training though, get a spotter. Even putting on a loose shirt by yourself is going to be interesting, but trying to lift alone in one, not even remotely a good idea. It would be hard not to have the shirt ride up on you, and putting the belt on while holding the shirt down, fuck - get someone to train with or train raw.
No idea how a squat suit would be, never wore one.

At the least ask for a spotter, if you belong to a gym with a lot of powerlifters I am sure getting a spot should be easy.

don't really see why it should be a problem if you can get someone in the gym who knows how to spot
