The article forgot to mention "Bench shirt size". IT SUPPOSE TO BE TIGHT!!! People use a way bigger size and that prevent the shirt from work properly.
WHAT A RUSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Right sizing is everything. You have to consider your individual build and not just your chest size. I had a 54 inch chest when I competed but wore a size 50 super katana shirt in single ply. I have a very deep rib cage and short upper arm and worked up to a huge arch. My raw bench stroke was <4". About 6 in a shirt. I used the widest legal grip. Because of all this and being able to use a much tighter shirt I had a tremendous carryover...424 lbs. raw and 639 single ply. If I'd tried to use a size 54 shirt with such a short stroke it would barely load up and had very little 'pop' off the chest. Hope this helps someone in sizing.
good read
Just wanted to add. If you are not wanting to compete in a shirt but you want one to bench heavier for training. I highly recoment the Slingshot from Mark Bell or Titans ram. With my personal preference being the SS and I have both. These things are way easier to use, dont chew you up or take alot of effort to get on.
I have a love/hate affair with shirts. I have tried about every shirt out there in the last 20yrs. I am a very poor candidate for wearing a shirt. I have long arms and even raw I fail about halfway up. The guys that rock the shirts are short armed with alot of strength toward the middle to top. The shirts are very dificult to learn,size,adjust and use 100%. I have had the best luck with the Titan Katana.
Second that...I use Marks slingshot ...has kept my shoulders healthy...over the years form wear and tear...
Sling shots are good (all three) but not compare to a shirt. The pressure, groove and all the rituals that is a bench shirt...
WHAT A RUSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
