oldest denim shirt pulled as low as I could get it 405/1/6sets
I was training by myself today so I had to use denim. this turned out to be a good thing as Ilearned something new today. Generally if I have to much shirt I'll lift my head to touch. With my old set up this wasn't a problem but now I'm pushing my arch to make up for my lack of girth, when I lift my head I lose some arch adding almost an inch to my stroke. Also if I thighten the shirt to much with my belt I'm unable to get enough shirt to push the arch up, and if I leave some slack in the frount then the shirt wants to move up as I set up. closed back is worse than open backed. For all those who say if I wore a shirt I could lift 200 lbs more trust me we work hard to figure out how to make the most of these things.
