Well I've competed in both raw and shirted and have had top numbers in both. I look at it like this if you dont like bench shirts compete raw there are divisions for both. Like I said if if people dont understand it someone trying to explain wont help. Its two different moves kinda like the high jump and the pole vault people wanted to go higher so they added a pole. People wanna bench more so they added a shirt.
For record I think pole vaulting is dumb too.... Shirted benching is like strapping a rocket to a 100 metre finalist back and he gets a time of 0.003 secs it's dumb Or have a benching competiion wher your allowed spotters a la king kamali who will pace there hands on the Bart from begging to end and pull while you push.
