I've never worn a shirt but I have a serious powerlifting buddy who competes in shirted events and I know on some of his 2 ply (or whatever) shirts he can't get the weight to even touch his chest.

It is an amazing feat simply to balance and steady that kind of weight, no doubt. But I still like raw benching. Maybe it's because the bench is the only lift I excel at

Don't forget Scott Mendelson.











On a side noteI met Gene Rychlak my last meet, he is a great guy, runs a very well meet, takes care of his lifters and is very good for the sport of powerlifting.

i have been at 275 for 4-5 reps for a while now i gotta bust through it. for some reason when i hit the 300's i can only bust out 1 rep. it's like it has mind control on me. in march i am goin to make it my bitch. no ph's. just determination.
