He benches actually in double denim shirt. He said its denim in its purest form. No color. It is from frantz. And he benches 600 raw. And yes he gets 160lbs from his shirt. Become a master of the lockout and you will get a good carryover as well. My hats off to Bill Crawford. I have spoke with him and he is very nice and helpful. Good guy. I hope he hits 800 first.

comments like

'yeah i'd like to see what he can do raw or in xxx type shirt' are not very productive.

as louie simmons says, nobody gives a shit what you can do without a shirt anymore.

that being said, my hats off to anyone who can bench a lot raw, but if they are a 500 lb raw bencher and a 525lb shirt bencher, they are just plain foolish and need to spend some time studying the sport.

the equipment is here to stay folks. learning and mastering it is another aspect to the sport. the good news about this is that unlike performance enhancing drugs, everyone has access to equipment so people should spend even less time whining about this topic than the anabolics.
