I just got a rage x single ply bench shirt like Dain suggested. This is going to be my first time using a bench shirt so, Â I was wondering what would be the best way to break the shirt in? also, when I bench raw I bench fairly close my pinkies are about 2 to 2.5 inches inside the rigs. I noticed that most people bench wider in bench shirts should I move my grip out?
Mike,
As Brian mentioned, the Rage X is easier to break in than the SDP, however given your situation, I would break it in exactly the same way as we recommend breaking in the SDP.
Not because the shirt needs it, but because you do!
Here’s what I would do.
Breaking in a shirt SUCKS. Learning a shirt SUCKS. You will probably feel like your bones are going to explode at some point in the process.
Again, the Rage X doesn’t take this much to break in typically, however since you are new to it this is what I would do. This way you get to learn slowly over the course of several weeks. Each board height will be more and more challenging.
