Bench shirt

[YouAintKnow330]

How much does a bench suit really add to a persons max bench? Ive seen people using them and they are throwing up more weight than what seems practical.

depends on what ply u use..

but as a guide (a very rough guide) i would say anywhere from 75-150lbs per ply

Ive seen guys put up 200 pounds if not more with a bench shirt but its not like u just put it on and u magicly put up all this weight. They take alot of practice and getting used to.

if you dont have a strong raw bench it doesnt matter. you got to be as strong as your gear if not you r goin to find whats weak on your body real quick. that and you r goin to be real inconsistant on big lift if your shirt is alot stronger than you

I do not understand the point of a bench shirt. If you're not doing it raw, you're not really lifting it (IMO).

Do they have squat pants?

Are you for real? If so then YES (squat suits actually).

Regarding the RAW comment, to quote someone whos name I cant remember, "Its a powerlifting thing, you wouldn't understand"

this is soo funny i laughed out loud for real


eqquipped powerlifting is lifting because its still sweat blood and tears to get the weight up.. but personally i don't like it just because i love raw.

Massive Raw Strength + Knowledge of Shirt= Massive Bench

depends on the person. i maybe can squeeze 200 pounds out of a double ply shirt and i dont think that is great. i have friends that are SHW that get 300- 400 out of the shirt. a well known powerlifter friend of mine hits 900 and presses about 500 raw
