[h=1][/h]I've been reading about a bench shirt, and really i dont know what it is. what does it do , and is it worth the money????
 
They can add up to 100kg and sometimes more to the lift. Loads of fat idiots benching 700lb but with a dozen spotters and a 2 inch range of motion. Add a few layers of knee wraps to the elbows and hey presto a 1-inch 1000lb bench press by yet another fat retard.
 
Yes, and grab all the stretch bands in the gym wrap them around the shoulders, there's your slingshot
 
Bench shirts are for equipped lifters, and they're bloody hard to put on and use effectively. Takes 2 people and several minutes to put one on.

I don't use them, but all of the other competing lifters in my gym do, I'm guessing if you're asking the question, you're probably not really going to need one just yet.

They do help the lifter to a degree, but require enough weight on the bar that you can pause the bar on the chest. Equipped lifting isn't 'easy' at least not in PA.
 
I've played with them. They are fun and different. Unless you have a few years, ie multiple years, of actual powerlifting training AND competing; they are entirely superfluous.
