???? Well, To some degree it doesn't. If I told you I could bench 800pounds with my shirt and you asked, what can you do raw? And my reply was "about 500" Would you be as impressed?
I'm glad Scott Mendelson has the record now. He is a true strongman.
I've become very amused by guys that can match or better outbench me in a shirt that I can smoke RAW.

I'm saying that my buddy acts like he's stronger than those guys when they would obviously work him raw.

I agree that a massive raw bench is very impressive. I can also see the advantages of a shirt, as the bench press is kind of an unnatural movement for the body. For some more tha others.

Shirts were originally invented as protecxtion for lifters. specifically for the shoulders. This has clearly changed. THe ting about shirts that makes the movement unnatural is the fact that if the shirt exceeds the strength of the lifter y too much (which is notrmally the case) you have to go out of your normal range to touch. (specifically the stomach) That's why you sometimes see people "dump "the weight.

hmmm not really
dumping the weight is nothing more than the wrists over the elbows
some shirts are grooved to touch only the stomach-if you go any higher you are fighting against the shirt

I agree about the wrist over the elbows but if the shirt wasn't so tight you wouldn't be in that position or at least to that degree. I can touch with 405 in my inzer DD. But I have to go out of my normal groove to do so risking the dump. 475ish my shirt gets far more comfortable to use as far as range. I bench in a higher groove anyway so i've been told but I agree that some shirts are cut with a low groove.
The stomch is a broad area though. Peopel sometimes take stomch touching to the extreme.
