Bench Shirt

[TheProject]

The sleeves are stretching to 14 inches as we speak.

yeah, that was fun.

We crammed a couple of 5lb plates in there, and pushed 'em through as far as we could. Then I discovered that I could twist the sleeves, and force the weight further down. Kinda hard on the hands, but it worked.

Ironmaiden181.... Thank you, thank you!

It worked. The opening is stretched to perfectly go over my elbow while the rest of the sleeve remains tight. Problem is, it's STILL too tight across the chest to even get a middle grip....how to stetch that?

how to stretch it? Simple answer- use it.. in time the material will break in and stretch.

IMHO. Shirt work is the only way to stretch the shirt's chest out. Don't expect substantial results. The shirts were designed to fit the tightest across the chest and any significant stretching would, in effect, just create a shirt "sized up". You're probably better off getting a larger size that compliments your strength levels more accurately. You should be able to get into a "Fury" in less than 2 minutes tops. Good luck and let us know how Wednesday's training goes.

Let the bar and 300lbs do that for you. Don't worry, we will find out exactly how much it takes to touch in that shirt tomorrow.

Went on a LOT faster after the stretching...maybe 5 minutes total?

Ordered my fury today...all black, meet fit. Can't wait to see how it works!

Glad that it helped..... They are right about the chest.... You'll have to just let the weight do it as you go... It may take a few fittings.... Don't rush the "pops", do it slow!!! Good luck....

Well, today was day two in the Fury. Well, I can tell you that it is definately stretching a little. The first time you do a rep in it when you put it on it will relax down and the chest will go almost flush with your chest. From then on it will be easier, so between sets don't take the shirt off. On the first rep every time I put it on I have to have the spotter move my right hand over and put it in place. After that rep I can do it myself.
