Screwball i would estimate i have close to a 1/4 inch if not more in my arms. My other shirts i have 1 inch less smaller. So big diffrence. All the weight i pushed felt good sitting in my hands.
Freak19 the first 2 were slow. I didnt feel completly warmed up and didnt knwo what to expect from the shirt. But all the people and the adrenaline pumped me up and i got insane. I feel good with ya'll there i feel safe. I knwo one mis hap and you guys will get me out.
By the way nice squat deep and low. With no suit. You got soem big numbers in ya.
When you shirt you need to try the boards. Felt good to pause on something then explode up. Instead of holding and pushing.

Awesome news Jay. Glad to hear how well things are going. Screwball and I will be doing 3 boards with a shirt on Sunday, Maybe Bigokie too, I doubt we will see any 700's but I am pretty sure there will be over 500 lbs on the bar a time or two.
I am switching to a modified Powerlifterjay program, so keep an eye on that rearview mirror.
Does your shirt have velcro on the arms as well? I totally agree with you regarding arm tightness, I had to have the arms replaced in one of my shirts because they were squeezing the shit out of my arms, and turning my forearms purple. I like them relatively loose in the arms, and tight across the chest.
Congratulations on locking out 700. That is smokin!!!

Hey brian i seen the shirt, board benching done by Jesse Kellum and thought it would be a good idea. Then i seen you guys talking about it and it reminded me to try it. I am definitly gonna start shirting this way. To just pull the bar down is too shocking. So pull to a 3 then 2 then none will be easier on my mind. And not only that theres is no question on how low it went. I knwo it paused on the 3 board. Usually i will estimate were it went too. And thnaks i almost feel as though i benched 700. It went up nice and felt ok in my hands. It was paused and pressed. So hopefull i can go all the way down with a weight i can lockout from the bottom.
And as far as arm tightness goes i think thats why i could bench longer last night. My arms felt ok. And like i said my muscles can fully contract when i press. The shirt felt strong. No watering it down or warmups. the first attmept and 2nd were feelers to see if its right or not. And so far its right! I am not gonna change but if i had too change anything it would be 1/2" bigger in the chest and 1/2 smaller in shoulders. BUt it will do fine.
Keep us posted on yours this weekend. You gonna use the 3 board with your shirts?

yes, we will be doing 3 boards with a shirt. I narrowly missed 500 with a 2 board last weekend, I am quite sure I will be able to get it this sunday. I missed my groove last sunday with it.
I will start a new thread Monday with our results. BTW between you, me and the fencepost, I am aggresive as a rutting buck right now.

Jay, I have yet to order a shirt. I have never used a bench shirt
before. But in the near future, I am going to order one.
Would you recommend that I wait for this shirt to be available?
Or would you recomment another model as I am new to shirts?
Any advice that you could give, would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Geno

Brian i hear you bro! I will always be checking my rearview for your ass. Aggresion is what really moves weight. I am trying to channel my strength liek a women does when her baby is trapped under a car and she picks it up. Not really but wouldnt that be cool?
Geno Pm with your body weight, bench press max, and some of your board press lifts if you do them. I will help ya bro.
