If you don't even have the money for a gym membership, a bench shirt is not for you. At your age, the weight you are putting up is excellent and I'm sure you'll make awesome gains from your powerlifting routine. I wouldn't worry about a bench shirt. It doesn't make sense to use one unless you are competing.

well once you get into competitions and stuff when you almost have the bench you need in the comp then buy a shirt with your measurement and then learn how to use it before the comp. right now you dont need to worry about it if your just gonna be workin out in the gym then there is no need for a shirt its jnust you need to get used to it and learn how to use it before a competition.
I train with some competing power lifters and they don't actually work out with shirts.They train chest raw and heavy.They do have chest days that they only warm up raw then go with the shirt and try for new max.If you have the natural power and technique a shirt works but if not it can get you hurt.Save your money and do it raw.
ive used a shirt at meets, it put an extra 30lbs on my bench max, the first of 3 lifts i failed cuase the shirt made my opening weight so easy i racked the weight right away rather then wait for the command,lol, that red light is embarrising but i made my last two lifts successfuly, and won the ""WAR AT THE SHORE" IN WILDWOOD NEW JERSEY MANY MANY YEARS AGO, it was fun, so have a good time bro, i actualy got my first bouncing gig from that show,lol, its always fun to meet people from all over , so have fun with it bro
