Bench Shirt Help!

[CarolinaPR]

Hey guys! This is my first time here need a little help. Just ordered my first bench press shirt, have a competition on the 19 of this month. I was just wondering how do you train with the shirt. Do i take it off after every set or do i leave it on thru the whole workout. atleast i know i have to warm up with out it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

keep bench shirt on
do all your warm up sets and a couple of 3-5 rep sets
then do your shirt sets 3-4 of them 1 rep each set
go light at first and get used to shirt it could throw in out of your grove.

what kind of shirt polly or denim
with denim it adds 100lbs to my bench over raw

also make sure to have a good and compitent spotter the shirt could throw the bar over your face and hurt you bad

you dont have long to get used to shirt before meet
good luck

I too am interested in information about the bench shirt. I have
never used one and am planning to order one.

Aka-tapout thanks for the post. I never thought about the need for a good spotter. The thought of 300 to 400 pounds on my face is not pretty picture.
