When hitting my bench opener today, Severin, Briar and I went to Titan's Gym in Mentor, OH. Since they don't have competition equipment for powerlifting, I just hit my opener in my shirt on one of their commercial benches. With these benches being skinnier, I felt a little unbalanced coming down. Regardless of that, the weight felt incredibly easy. If I hit it on a commercial bench, a competition bench will feel that much better.
