Hi,

My name is Steven, 20 years of age and live in Northland.

I began gyming in high school during lunchtimes as they became pretty boring. Enjoyed it so continued on after high school.

My goal is to compete in the NZ powerlifting comp for single lift bench press junior under 83kg bodyweight. Hopefully "do well" if not win.

Found this website trying to google about bench press shirts as I have never used one and heard if I want a chance I'll need one. I currently lift about 130-135 without one.

Advice on using them would be helpful.

Hey Steven

That is strong. I see you are in Northland. I know that is a big area but the PL secretary up there is a guy named Brian Froggat. He owns a gym:

Brians Gym & Fitness Centre Ltd.

10 Victoria Street

Dargaville

Kaipara

I don't know if this is near you. Brian has one leg and is a bench press machine. He would be a great guy to learn from. Otherwise drop him an email briansgym@clear.net.nz. He is a top guy and he will be able to point you in the right direction for training and shirts. Using one is not easy and requires time and guidance.

I will leave it to "Best Bench" to advise on the best place to get hold of a shirt.

Yes I have talked to Brian on the phone about it. He was the one that informed me about bench shirts. I'm planning on heading out to his gym for a training where he said he could help advise me on a bench shirt to fit. Hopefully I can get some techniques off him.
