Bench shirt & power suit

[ChisledFat]

It's been many years since I competed in powerlifting but I'm looking to give it another go. Was just wondering what nearly 20 years of technology has done regarding the shirts and suits. How much improvement can one expect when utilizing a bench shirt, as well as suit for squatting and DL'ing?

Look at the thread towards the top of the page. Bench Shirt 101, I think.

its a whole different sport these days! expect an 'average' lifter to get 150lbs from a bench shirt, and 150-200 from a squat suit.

a national level lifter to get 200lbs from the shirt, and 300 from the squat suit.

top lifters are getting 250-300 from the shirt, and 350 or more from the suit.

its awhole new game, with alot more time spent on learning the gear than atcually getting stronger.
