Bench Shirt Training

Last night I went over to the HHG and tried out my new bench shirt for the first time. With some pulling and no prodding we got me into my shirt. Here is what happened.

Warm Up
Raw Bench - 100kg/6 reps, 120kg/6 reps, 140kg (308lbs)/1 rep.

Bench Shirt
3 Board Press - 160kg/3 reps, 180kg/1 rep, 180kg (396lbs)/1 rep.

The first 180kg single was a bit shakey. I have never pressed this much before so I was a bit unsure. The second single was much better and went up much easier. It actually felt light. I'm sure with a bit of practice 180kg+ will be my bench press numbers.
