I think I'll try some shirted book work next week, might see what I can do with 160kg on 3 books.

Jack it quite a bit and make sure you don't let it ride up when you set-up. I found that I had to use a smaller belt much tighter so this didn't happen. Rotate the sleeves if you are having trouble at lockout, ive seen it add as much as 50lbs right at the top. The groove will be lower.
Touch as low as possible that will still be legal in the federation if you want the most out of the shirt. Some IPF countries dont seem to care about belly benching, like japan, so i don't know how enforced the rule is, but the lower you go the more carryover.
