Let's get a lot of responses on this thread, because this is such an important topic in powerlifting. The tightness of your shirt often determines who wins the meet... I have often warmed up with guys who appear to be significantly weaker then I, only to watch them destroy me when the shirt goes on. And I have very good lockout power. Post your raw lift, your bench shirt lift and your weight so we can see what are realistic goals when concerning the bench shirt.

Weight: 160
Raw bench: 311
Shirted: 325
