How much do bpress shirts help?

NICE!!

I am pretty close to you barbell265. My best raw is 315 and my best shirted is 385. Double denim.

Nice lift Bro!! I have to see if the APA/WPA allows a double denim, if they do I know what I'll be ordering soon!!

thanks man, I competed in apa with those lifts, double denim OK for sure...

is it possible to stand in anything resembling a relaxed position with one of these things on?

what do you mean? when youve got a shirt on (mine atleast) it just feels like your walking around with pronounced lat syndrome, your arms kinda just hang flared out and forward.

no way to "relax" really but I cant relax during a meet anyways...

I get way too much out of my shirt. It's single ply, and I get an easy 80 pounds out of it. It's like someone else said though, if you're weak at the bottom, it helps more. My lockout is over 2x my 2 board, because of shoulder issues. So the shirt replaces my weakness. Stack that with speed through the sticking points, and an extra wide grip, and I'd say it helps a WHOLE lot. As my shoulder's rehabbing, and getting stronger, I see the gap between raw and shirted closing a little, but it's still a huge gap.
