Yes
It felt like it took more out of me pulling it towards my chest than pressing it. specially with the lower weight ( 315-400) once I was up to 450 + it came down better , but the lower it got the more it hurt.
I still need alot more practice with the benching and the shirt. I'm so use to a decline that I need to work on my flat bench and getting a nice arch.
The best thing I like about it is it takes all the pressure off the shoulders.
