I dont doubt what you say is true. I myself am a double body weight plus 40lbs, raw bencher and when i put the shirt on i do ok anyplace i go. that being said, several years ago i was looking for a meet and had not been exposed to latch yet. i saw his meet and went to it. i used a single ply shirt and got a PR at that time. there was a guy in my class who actually wore 2 yes TWO bench shirts. he outlifted me by 5lbs and was ranked ahead of me on the top 100. this plus the fact at the weigh in i had to cut weight to make it, i got there and he said "how much do you weigh?" i told him and he said "ok" and that was it, no weigh in. now i know how much i weighed, but who is to say how much the other guy weighed. did the guy out lift me then? in the "state records" it says he did, in the results in PLusa it says he did, and in the top 100 it says he did. but i think you and any other real lifter would agree that was bullshit. If you do the meets for fun more power to you. but again, the lifts should not be turned in and should not count.
