I'm gonna throw this up, and hopefully it's ok.

It's just links to the sites I use to get my powerlifting and strongman gear.

For suits the biggest thing is to get your upper thigh measurements in inches, hips as well... but the biggest thing I find is your quad size.

For shirts, arm size unflexed is generally the most important... shoulder width can come into play as well, a shirt too narrow across the shoulders sucks... chest plate is all personal preference.

Fortified iron classifieds.
-prices in US, I've never paid duty or anything like that, and I've found some really sweet deals. This is the first website I go to generally, generally for double ply stuff that's hard to find in Canada.

Powerlifting watch classifieds.

- I don't find this to be as good as fortified iron, and generally someone who posts on one posts on the other.


CPU for sale forum
-for single ply gear, this is the go to spot in Canada, things are generally cheap and you can get it pretty quick, good for finding squat shoes as well.

Strongman equipment: Ultimate Fitness
-I've gotten a prowler, log, fat bar and a Safety squat bar from here, and used other stuff that's been made here. Heavy duty, high quality stuff that's all custom made. If you don't see it on there, just email him and ask if he can make it and generally he can.

These are my 4 big resources I use for everything, and I've rarely had to go anywhere else.

I check fortified iron every couple of days to be honest, my friend just got about a grand worth of gear for about 400bucks off their.. pretty sweet deal.

you wont find any made in canada... they are all pretty much made in the same factory and then labeled and shipped to different companies

Looks like a good start. If you can add more stuff ( even the smaller stuff ) it will be better. Chalk and Nose torque are a few things that are nice to have without having to order from the US.
