I was able to drag myself away from "life" this morning and went to the gym for some more shirt training. Today I tried turning my shirt sleeves in a bit more to see how the shirt would respond. Here's what happened.
Bench Press - 135lbs/12 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 275lbs/3 reps.
Put on my shirt
Shirt Bench - 275lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/4 reps, 315lbs/5 reps, 335lbs/4 reps, 335lbs/4 reps.
Seated Barbell Shoulder Press - 115lbs/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 155lbs/6 reps.
Side Laterals - 25lbs/12 reps, 30lbs/12 reps, 35lbs/12 reps.
I am still trying to get comfortable in the shirt. It is working for me but instead of being a novice equipment user I'd like to understand every aspect. Today I found that by "torquing" the sleeves I wasn't able to touch my chest at 275lbs or 315lbs. 335lbs bearley touched, I had to force it.
So what I've figured out about a bench shirt is this. It needs to be loose enough to get a proper set up but torque the sleeves to get more "pop" out of the shirt. I've ordered a Metal Deadlifter It will be here Monday. I can't wait to try it.
