Technical Suit Suggestions?

I'm swimming through rotator cuff tears and looking for a full length (with arms) compression suit for training purposes. Does anyone know who may be clearing out the banned tech suits and/or have any recommendations. I've searched without luck through Google.

How about this yingfa full body suit? www.yingfa.us/.../Yingfa-978-Lightning-Sharkskin-Full-Body-Suit.html It's rather cheap for a full body suit, and I heard some good things about yingfa.

I've written a lot about Tech Suits in Swim Faster Faster

Off topic, but why can't guys wear the same yardage suits as women now rather than go back to jammers ?? Think of it this way. Typically, in practice, women wear tanks and men wear briefs. The leg coverage of the tech suits (jammers men, kneeskin women) give both genders the same extra coverage for meets. Giving men double extra coverage would therefore be unfair. You and Jimby will just have to suppress your desire to dress like women. On another note, a friend forwarded me this link re: womens FS3: forum.collegeswimming.com/viewtopic.php And I found this one: Big10s Swimming Championshiops 2012 - FS3 Controversy - YouTube This says supposedly you're supposed to wear the FS3 6-8 x before the target race.

Several points: I am making progress on eliminating my cross dressing inclinations My main point was that the change in suits affects men much more significantly than women, and I still maintain this is the case. The thing I miss most about the fuller coverage for men was that it eliminates the need to shave your torso, which is a major pain. When the hair grows back, the itching involved summons to mind an attack by fire ants. One of the factors that has helped me adjust to the lack of body suits is that it doesn't seem to hurt me MORE than most of my competitors in the age group. The effects are either neutral or slightly positive. This may have to do with my generally weak physique, where no bulging muscles require compressing; or it may be due to my hirsutism, which means that shaving might confer more benefit to me than to more naturally hairless type guys. But the biggest factor is that I am absolutely certain the difference between the world's most expensive technical jammer, and the world's most affordable technical jammer, is not terribly significant, which is in keeping with the spirit of the FINA ruling. The thought of paying $404.95 Arena Powerskin R-EVO + Men's Open Water Suit, for example, is absurd to me when I could spend $97.95 for a TYR Tracer Light Jammer or $49.95 Speedo Aquablade Male Jammer. I would be shocked if any of these suits made more than a tenth of a second or so difference per 50. You women, on the other hand, are still every bit as caught up in the marketing hype of the Speedo's and Arena's as you were at the height of the floatie suit era. The reason: contrary to the spirit of the FINA ruling, you honestly believe (and probably with good reason) that it's still possible to buy speed--not just a few hundredths of a second of speed, but significant time drops, all thanks to body coverage and torso compression. You also have to worry about spending a lot of time at each meet suiting up without busting your $600 investment! How I pity you!

1. Very good Jimby. 2. Probably true, but you know that so you can factor that in in analyzing the difference in your pre and post tech suit times. 3. I can see why that would be a complete drag for men. 4. I am likewise less effected by the loss of tech suits than some of my competitors. And I have my theories about that, which I know I've posted elsewhere. 5. That $404 Arena suit is for OW only and can't be used in the pool. So you can't use that for cost comparisons. You should be very happy you can get a good suit for much less than women. I'm not sure anyone thinks you can buy more time with X brand of kneeskin. But I know that I want to get the fastest suit for me, and fastest may be dictated by fit since they are all very similar suits. I don't know any masters women that have sprung for the $595 FS3. I'm not; and the reviews are not good to date. For the suit I recently ordered, which I desperately needed, I was between sizes, so ordered up to avoid undue tightness/possible busting. I just swam well in a very stretched out LZR with small holes, so I'm not sure I need to shove my body into the smallest imaginable size and risk a tear. I've recently found that Glide helps get into tech suits very quickly.

Dress like women :cheerleader:- talk like women:blah: -make sense like women :worms: ----------:bolt:

I'll just say that I really wish the situation was the same as in 2004. You could get a full-body suit but it barely mattered. Gary Hall won the gold medal in a jammer. And you only had to shave arms and ankles omg that would be so great.
