How tall are you PHOENIX?
Best way to cheat on deadlifts...
Stand there for a few minutes, then pace back and forth a lot, huff and puff, wait until everybody's looking. Approach the bar. Back off. Approach it again. Back off. Get some water. Chalk up. Approach the bar again. Then spray some more chalk around. Wait until people start losing interest. When nobody's looking, pick it a little off the floor, and slam it down. Jump up and yell "LIGHT WEIGHT BABY". Then give high fives all around. - Belial

You don't need a bench shirt for that. How about simply getting stronger to increase your bench?Age:30

Shirts are really the most helpful when you're trying to bench 600+. Wearing a shirt could make your numbers go up, but it won't magically make you stronger.

Scott,
I do want to bench 300+ by summer time.
My dream would be to bench twice my body weight.
so if I am 160lbs then I would like to do 320lbs.
I don't know, but maybe for my frame and size I need the extra help. Correct me if I am wrong. Sometimes, it's mind over matter. Maybe I will think that I spend that 100$ and I need to work out harder and in the end I will achieve my goal without the help of shirt. It's like a placebo effect. I am trying anything to get to my goal. :-)PHOENIX

bench shirt smench shirt

If your not competing then the shirt would be pretty much pointless. Let's say for fun that you bench 275 without the shirt, and with it you bench 295, well YOU yourself aren't really any stronger, see what everyone is saying?
As everyone else said, it's more geared for competition uses where it serves more purpose. If your going to compete in the near future however then it would be helpful to get comfortable using one.My brother and I were brutal. I once chased him around the house with a spoon that I put on the burner. I burned that little pricks leg. -sharkall2003
Then I saw a little african boy sleeping, and I thought...that is little Okeke. he is tired from herding all the goats and the big goat got away today - Rock
