In Response To: Re: bench shirt (Brian)

Thats a tough one for me to answer.. due to how i hold the bar.. my wrists are bent way back( which isnt a good thing ) its just how i bench.. touching your stomach is harder if your a leaner guy also.. i just try to push my stomach out to the bar as i lower it..

Aslo is your collar high on the shirt?? how tight is your belt??and have you tried wetting it at all???

a higher collar will let less weight touch.. not having your belt tight or not wearing one at all will let the shirt roll up and lighter weight will touch.. and wetting it down will knock about 25 lbs off of what will touch and help break in the shirt

I hope this all helps
