Almost forgot to type this one up. Long story short, Harold T Estes gave me two bench shirts he got off ebay, one was a size 50 HD Blast, the other was an HPHD size 50. I figured I would take this session to work lockout power via Shirt work.

The HD Blast stood up to the 315, though I heard some stitching give, just thought it was the logo tearing. The 365 wasnt too bad, kind of a grind at lockout, then on the second attempt at 365 the shirt blew out right down the middle....Cool!!!

The HPHD was up next, I figured this might stand up a bit better, Wrong!! Got one set of 365x2 in and on the next, all the stitching blew out and the shirt did a massive stretch out....

Figured I would throw on the Rage and hit a few doubles for speed....My lockout strength aint what it used to be working around my pec injury, but they were productive nonetheless....

Dude! What happens when a shirt blows? I couldn't imagine benching, say 4 plates, and my shirt coming apart. I'd tear something for sure. I hope you had good spotters

The first one just split right down the middle to my belt.

The second one, all the thread popped and literally stretched out to a 56, pretty bizarre.

Luckily I had a weight I could handle RAW, I was experimenting with Speed and seeing what type of pop I got out of these...guess I found out. Besides, thats what safety pins are for...
