One other option that I find helps me, is training with lighter gear and then throwing on the good stuff pre-contest.
I do about 90% of my squat training wearing an old stretched out metal pro suit and no breifs/wraps etc. This allows me to use a slightly lighter training weight while still being able to use a very similar form to full gear. Ive noticed some other lifters doing the same thing by using 1 size bigger gear in the offseason.
