Makes sense that equipped lifters would want stronger lats to pull against the shirts, but i still feel my bench has gone up as I’ve developed my lats. Helps me retract the scapulas harder, and even get a bit of a push out of the bottom. I feel my lats over head pressing as well, and even while squatting. Really bending the bar over my back and generating upper back tightness makes the bar feel weightless when I unrack it.A lot of people do say that. Interesting dissenting opinion from Greg Nuckols:
