Do you wear a Lifting Vest?
No? Should I? I wear gloves that's about it for gear.
I was a competitive lifter for a few years and trained with one on but wasn't allowed during competition. Some will allow. It isolates the muscles and your form, usually allowing a heavier lift. Nice training aid for us older guys. However it takes help to put on and off.
If you lift at home or alone disregard. Look into anyway
Interestingly I built my own weight thing/invention basicaly a triangle that supports a bar by a winch... winch stopped working but it's at the height I can slide under and do bench with out needing a spot.. man it sucks starting dead weight from your chest.
