Bench Shirt

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Do you know what size they sent you?? I'm curious because I gave like the same measurements as you and now you are making me nervous. This shizzy better fit.

Kronk even pushed on my back and yanked on the shirt, trying to pull it over my forearm....it's not going anywhere.

This is true. It wouldn't budge. Had it went any farther up it would have cut her arm off!

...oh and, Deceiver, the "bust" are a non-issue.

are you sure you ordered a bench shirt with your correct measurements? are you sure they sent you a bench shirt?

that looks like osh kosh b'gosh.

Spatts, I hate to tell you this but I am pretty sure that that was the right fit. On mine I can only get my arms about that far in. I've found the way to get into them is to put in both arms then put your head thru and then have someone pull it on. It looks like your sleeves are fitted like mine, only problem is mine is supposed to be a meet fit. I think they just sent me a comp fit.

It's probably good you sent it back though, because if it's that tight it will take a ton to lock out.

Good luck with your shirt and let me know if you need help. Later

Well, I hung from the power rack in a variety of angles. Two purple forearms and some veiny hands, THAT THING WENT ON.

*BUT*

I couldn't even get 221 down to a 4 board!

congratulations! now are you still gonna send it back, or are you going to just wait it out til you work it in and get strong enough for it.

DO NOT RETURN IT- PM me for my address and i'll take it off your hands

LOL....I can't decide. I'm not convinced it's right for me. We really couldn't get it ALL the way on, and it took over 20 minutes to get what we did. My arms are locked so tight in front of me, that I can't do an extra wide grip....can barely do wide. Then I can only drop 221 about 1-2 inches. To "break it in" I'd hav to bench 400!

It was a little narrow in the shoulders (understatement). But I think we should try it one more time on ME Day. Try to get the sleeves worked up a few more inches and see if that gives you some room in the shoulders. Considering your LOCKOUT...it might be the right shirt for you after all

Spatts.... if the arms are to tight still... but the rest of the shirt is ok, put a 2.5 or a 5lb plate in the arms and let it sit over night and the see how it is... that is what I had to do and I my shirt was so small that I could in no way get it over my head.... I had to cut the back!
