 Member 2211, 33 posts SQ 220, BP 170, DL 240630.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Ive never used lifting equipment but curiosity is starting 2 get the better of me and im finding myself browsing for bench shirts etc on a regular basis... Im mainly intrested in a bench shirt as i believe my bench is quite week... Is equipped lifting as effective as they say? Where 2 buy from? Any advice appreciated...Thanks | ||

Ive heard people saying that a bench shirt can increase your lift by up 2 40 kilo, It seems crazy that by putting on a shirt you can gain such an increse. I know that 40kilos is more than likely top end of a gain im just Unsure weather its worth purchasing 1 or not? | ||

 Member 1519, 1476 posts SQ 320, BP 260, DL 320900.0 kgs @ 117kgs Eq | Are you able to train with equipped lifters or people who have an understanding of equipped lifting? You can't just ask a randomer to spot you when benching in a shirt it can be dangerous | ||

I think im going 2 buy myself a Metal Slingshot see how that goes then either sack the idea or go ahead with buying some equipment | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10040 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | See, when you post that as your first post it sends the fingers of the mods twitching over the "ban" button. Try to be a bit less confrontational, mmkay? | ||
