So you do NOT lift competetively, are pretty weak, but can run ok. Great. I'm happy for you. I have been setting world records in bench press for the last ten years or so, with AND without the shirt. Although I do not compete in squat or deads, my raw numbers are 405 or so dead, 425 squat. This is with a bad hip. Don't have a suit. Shirted benches don't kill people that I am aware of. Please show me the statistics. I have been doing this steadily for the past 12 years, and am unaware of any deaths. I HAVE seen a few injuries. Not as bad as say, soccer....Why the HECK would YOU give advice to a multiple fed world champion? Sheesh, if I were just putzing around in a gym, and using gear to get bigger numbers, I could see it, but this is a legit sport, with legit gear, and I have been at the top of the age/weight class for years. Also ranked # 51 of all time 181. You are goofy....and don't know what you are talking about.
