so its open back now? completely open? if so thats good. much easier to put on. plus youll have more play in it too. for lighter weights let it ride up high on the chest. for heavier weights pull it down low. this makes it harder to touch but loads it up more.
my damn pec is stil sore. so i havent benched again. hopefully soon though.
heres another tip. dont use your normal weight belt. they are too wide. get a 2-3 inch work belt like goes on tool pouches. they hold the shirt in place and allow the belly to pop up. when the shirt hits, it pushs the belly down and the belt forces it up so youll have a shorter stroke. the wide belt hinders this abit.
make sure to leave a little slcak i th shirt too cause if you dont it will fight against you when you trying to set up with a big arch. once yopu get set up have someone to pull the belt down.
hop a long pb. that has a nice ring to it.
