yeah, I forgot to post that I have a three different double denim shirts. According to a lot of people who like to talk about how much stronger all the old timers were, before bench shirts and squat suits, I should be able to throw those 3 shirts on the bench by themselves and watch from the crowd as they bench 750 lbs. Funny thing is, those damn shirts are lazy as Hell. They just lay around in my gym bag until I put them on and try and press something.
There might be something more to benching big than just having heavy duty equipment. Naw, couldn't be that, I know, i just need to have one more layer sewn onto my shirts, and get some kevlar added to the seams, then I will be an animal.
I know this is getting a little off topic here, but it amazes me how some whiny ass people like to talk about equipment and juice, like it is doing all the lifting and the guy under the bar doesn't have anything to do with the weight going up. Halbert outbenches me by over 200 lbs. But I am not going to bitch and moan that he does so because of some insidious reason. I am going to try and steal his ideas and hopefully catch up.
