Who does them?

What are you thoughts on them?

WHat do tyhey help? (raw or shirt or both)

I loved them.

Never did them, tried them on deads, didn't like it. If your bench goes up they are good, if it doesn't, they are not, lol.

Only time will tell. I'm in hot pursuit of 500 raw and 655 shirted.

What are you benching? Yu'd likely do well in my inzer denim I just hit 600 in. Let me know some details and I can likely help you out.

I really tried Denim, Joel has a bunch of shirts that would fit me, but i just never tried them. I am looking for around 550 at the minimum.

Measure your arms and chest. LEt me know. That shirt is golden for 550+ and you can touch with that no problem as long as you aren't much bigger than I am.

dont like them at all for benching
for deads they arent bad

Like Mo said if you do them and te bench goes up then they are good
I wouldnt expect a whole lot of translation inot your raw simply because the band will provide all the support at the bottom (like a shirt) so they will transfer more to ur shirted bench..

most people need bottom end work when trying to get the raw lift up

As always I will keep you guys posted.

i agree with the results you should expect but i like reverse bands on bench myself , if nothing else its a good change up from the rest .

It made my chest sore as hell.

It made my chest sore as hell.

sounds like it hit your chest/bench a little different that the excercises huh

 

[roccodart440]

Must be. I'm tore up.

Interesting note. My pecs are sore but my shoulders are not.
