breaking in a new shirt?

[jeremys]

as i prepare for my bench meet on sep. 28, i need to learn some stuff.
how much work should i do in the shirt? what kinda work?(speed, board, etc?) how often should i train in it?

i will be using an inzer high performance blast

polys are much easier to learn to use then denims. unfortunately, they lose their pop a whole lot quicker too.

you dont have a lot of time before the meet, and you DONT want to do a bunch of full ME work 2 - 3 weeks in a row.

Someone (i think benchmonster) suggested a 4, 3, 2, 1 board press for ME day. You could do a 4 then a 3 one day and a 2 and a 1 the next ME day. If this seems to give you a reasonable fit int he shirt, hang it up and wait for meet day, otherwise you can wash it and dry it for a little extra snugness.

again, don't overtrain with it.

good luck.

wait, i dont understand now..

i do a 4 board max and a 3 board max one day then a 2 board max and one board max the next day? is the 1 board gonna be my opener then or what?

assuming wednesday is your max effort day

week of 7th: 4 board no shirt, 3 board, shirt
week of 14th 3 board no shirt, 2 board, shirt
week of 21st 1 board no shirt, no boards (shirt) --- work up to opener only
week of meet: GO FOR IT


I don't know... i dont have the best luck with shirts. i forgot that you have a poly... much less to go wrong on a poly other than it being way to big.

minimize the amount of work you do in it... do 1 or 2 sets per day at most.....

good luck.

ps: ask benchmonster.... he may have better suggestions

thanks again...the only thing im worried about is going too heavy on the week of the 21st trying to find my opener. so its just a heavy single, right?

bench, got any more info or ideas?

 

[jeremys]

alright, one more question. i promise...on my next ME day i do a 4 board max then a 3 board max? then the next week it's 2 board max and then a 1 board max or is it just every day i see what it takes to touch the certain board? or do i do the first one ME and just see what touches on the next board?
