Good for you bro , I have buddies that use the shirts and cheaters and when they go raw they are very disappointed with there #'s . +1 for trying to better yourself
I've only done one recently. No spotter. I take it out of the rack myself. No pause but I don't bounce. Tap and go. If any of you guys are going to the NPC show in Greensboro in Nov. I'll be there. My buddy's doing men's physique over 40. Should be a great time.
That's the only way to do it man. The only time I grab a spot is when I go over 405 and going to failure. I'm also very picky on who spots me too. I hope I can still push 405 up when I'm 52 it's nice hearing stories like this, it gives me "hope" lol
Won't be there in November but please let us know how your buddy makes out!
I'm looking forward to it and I think my buddy's gonna do well. He's ready now. The guys not real big but he's ripped year round. Another guy I know is doing Mr WV a week later but I'm not sure If Im going to that one yet.
Well I know for a fact that most of the people I was training with were getting around 200-250 lbs out of their bench shirts over their raw bench .an most of the guys I trained with were in good shape .. They weren't shredded but they were in shape
Well I used to be a world ranked power lifter in lifting gear in the 181 lb weight class. But now I'm competing raw to see if I can get back in the top 10

Thank you bro it a hard road getting stronger I would like to bench raw what I benched in a shirt that would be sweet one day
5'7" 215?
Yeah I'm 215
He is confusing. He joined 3 months ago and it sais 195 lbs. He told me he was benching 550 lbs at 192lbs. Thats alot of fckn wheight.
Yes I did bench 550lb in a bench shirt in 2009 .. Now I don't use a bench shirt and I'm lifting raw .my raw bench is 385 .
Maybe I need to get a shirt. I can get 405 no problem but I'm not even close to 500. That's a huge difference.
At 52? How many reps do you get with 405?

Will do. The only change I've seen in my 50s is I can't eat stuff I used to. Just doesn't digest right. Anything greasy is off limits.
Nice bro. Ill get there.

Almost Heaven!!!
Lol not hardly.
LOL.... I'm from WV to bro
When I benched 550 in my bench shirt my raw was around 405 . I had a custom Inzer rage x multi ply
Might have worked for you but I don't see 150 lb increase for me. I know a guy that can do 600 but he's a fuckin freak. He's not fat either.
