One of my goals is to "truly" train WS one day.

I understand where you're coming from. I just started pl specific training in January but had a decent base prior to starting. I started training w/ pl competitors so they coached me a bit. I did my first meet in June. It went well but I didn't learn my bench shirt well enough and paid the price. After the meet, I soughtout my current partner (the guy who trained at WS) and we train together about once or twice a week. He gives me guidance on what to do the other days.

The federation I lift in is NASA and they only allow single ply. Good enough for me. They have a unequipped division but mostly all of the strong competitors are equipped. Therefore, I choose to lift in the more competitive division and use single ply gear. I use a Titan Centurion suit, have a Titan Fury bench shirt, but have a custom Katana coming. One of the skills you'll have to master is lifting w/ the gear. You already know that though.

Good to hear that you're experience thus far has been good. There's a lot of commraderie in pl'ing and lots of guys to help out at the meet.
