compression shirts and benching

I tried a few on yesterday because it is beginning to get chilly (a little). I worked out in a cotton shirt the day before and it got a little cold after sweat collected in the shirt.

I already wear compression shorts. But the thing is, the material slides over itself. Why is that a problem? Tucked elbows.

The shirts felt so different that I tried to see what it felt like to bring elbows in close. The shirt seemed to 'slide' too much. I want to get some shirts to wick sweat away, but I don't want to play with the comfort zone on my BP work.

Does anyone who tucks elbows wear a compresion tee? Do you notice that wearing one gets in the way of your normal motion?

Check out the Exoforce BodyGrip T(link in my sig). It has been an excellent addition to my bench sets.

Put some chalk on your back.

I meant the shirt 'slips' past itself too easy. With a cotton shirt, there is some resistance.

I have the super compression shirt from Exoforce and its unbelievable. I love it. Is this bodygrip the same thing?

I'm gonna have to look into one of these shirts.

I use both the exoforce bodygrip t shirt and the compression shirt at the same time. The bodygrip helps me stay tight on the bench and the compression shirt helps my shoulders feel stable when i bench and at 38 i need all the stability I can get and guess what i made my life long goal of a 400 pound bench press with the compression shirt on.

The BG tee is a snug fitting performance shirt, with a tread like design on the back to help grip the bench. I've found it very useful over my hyper comp, especially on the incline bench.

We can still wear shorts and shorts sleeves down in the south...

I've never had any problem with that when benching, it sounds like a minor issue you're focusing on, just let it go.

That's pretty crazy that it actually gives you some grip on the bench. I would think the shirt is heavy and uncomfortable if its got rubber in it........?? How does it feel?

TBH, I don't know. I think it was some failed experiment that they stopped doing in early 2008, but never took off the profiles.
