bench shirt ???

[Kasperr7]

I no this has probaly been asked a thousand time but what is the best shirt for my first i am a 165 and im good f0r 315 raw my dad uses double open back inzer but i was wondering if that was to much shirt for me never tried one before and im lookin to do a bench meet in 3 months thanks

well if your dad uses an Inzer and likes it AND knows how to bench with it..I think logically a double denim ( same shirt as your dad) would be your best bet.

All shirts have slightly different grooves if your a belly bencher denims the way to go..metal makes awesome shirts as well but the groove is a bit higher..

I have both an Inzer DD and a Metal Viking..the shirts are different and once i get other things squared away with my bench ill be able to see which i like better

Depends on the federation? Some allow only single ply closed back poly and some allow anything you can squeeze your ass in. A decent shirt for a decent price is a Titan Fury, I've never used one but it's good to start out with considering the weight you can handle.

thanks..... i hope i do well with the shirt my dad talked me into the inzer dd open back like his so i orderd it today hope fuly i can learn the grove well enough in three months what kind of poundage is average for the shirt to add?I know its different for everyone just wondered an average?what would be good for my weight class at 165?thanks to all again for the help

That kinda shirt could add 100-150 if you can "jack it up" right. At least 75 from the start. I would suggest throwing in some boards first and attempting to bring it down to your chest with sub-maximum weigts... if you can.

If you can't get it to touch, you can also move your grip in, hope this helps!!!
