last Monday was a shirt day, my first in a newish Metal Pro.

This is a prototype shirt that I got from Metal last year, that just never quite fit. Well, after gaining and losing 30 lbs, I've put on enough upper body muscle that it fits great now, and I wanted to take it for a spin.

Warmed up to 315 raw, then went;

405 - 3 board

495 - 2 board

545 - 1 board

600 - touch

The 600 touched fairly easily, then cruised right into lockout. The easiest 600 bench I've hit in a long time. Safe to say the shirt fits!

Didn't do a ton of assistance work because my arms are usually shot after shirt bench, but I did do some work on the dip machine, and 4 sets of machine rows.

Really good day. Can't wait to see what this shirt can really do!
