Copied below from website description of bench shirt:

"It is easy to learn the proper use of bench shirts in the design of the HD Blast. It is also used by advanced powerlifters. Used by many as a great aid in injury prevention and healling while still training."

That above statement pretty much sold me. The fact that he works out alone, no spotter, I like the idea of anything that will help him keep proper form and reduce the chance of injury.

He is, for the first time, trying to add some mass. Been workout for 30+ yrs, but now he wants to go a little heavier. So my main concern is that he doesn't get hurt.

Seems big for his size. I think mine is a 52".

But to let you know with how it comes, back closed, it will take another person to get him into it. Have him try it on first and see how it is. If it's too big they will swap it for you. If it fits, take scissors and split the back. Then he will be able to get it on by himself. But you, or someone, will want to be there the first time he benches in it to make sure he gets accustomed to it and the weight roll onto his belly or throat at the bottom.
