Bench shirts?

[8krunner]

Hey, I see that every once in a while someone mentions bench shirts. What's the deal with those? What are they? What are the different types? I don't think I've ever even seen one before. Could you guys explain them to me?

they're best described as a tight fitting "shirt" made from polyester, denim, or canvas, (or even combination of those) that creates support for your shoulders and rotator cuff and greatly reducing the possiblity of injury from pec tear/pulls or some other form of a shoulder area injury

there are different styles, in relation to the neck and variations of the back of the shirt, along with small differences from each manufacturer

If you've never used one, for the quality and price, I would go with a Titan Fury. Good shirt and it won't mess you up too much, just keep in mind, benching with a shirt is a completely different animal from what you've ever experienced while benching, take your time and find someone who half way knows what they're doing to help you...
