It's like some use bench suits. Never done it, but I guess it helps.

They're supposed to be tight. I believe they originally started as a safety device for bench competitions so you don't get crushed under the weight but its kinda morphed over time into an aid so you can bench more. It takes the weight off at the bottom of the stroke so you really have to train for lockout. Or at least thats how I understand it. I've never used one but I'd be interested just to see how it feels one day.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
