I just borrow some of my buddies' mis-matched gear...I've used a bench shirt a couple of times just for something different, but I have no plans to lift equipped in the near future.

Try to get the sleeves of the shirt on first. Thumbs up, not palms up. Have someone stand with their back to your back and let them try to hold the shirt. Then you can push against them. Make a throwing motion, hinging at the elbow...like you're throwing darts. After you get the shirt on, it's good to wear a belt so that it keeps the shirt in place. You want it pulled down as much as possible. When you lay down on the bench and get your arch, right before you lift have someone pull your belt down low so you're not constricted. I've gotta run...let me know how it goes.
