My 52" Titan Fury shirt came today so I figured I'd try it out.
Flat Bench Press(shirted): 12 x 225 (w/ chains), 12 x 245 (w/chains), 4 x 315, 4 x 335, 2 x 355
Incline Press: 12 x 135 (w/chains), 8 x 155 (w/chains), 8 x 185 (w/chains), 6 x 205
Machine Flys: 2 x 8 x 160, 2 x 8 x 200
The first two sets of the bench were with my 54" shirt, then the rest with the much tighter fitting 52" shirt. When I was doing these it wasn't the weight I was worried about (it was going up without struggle), it was the backs of my arms I thought were going to be CUT with the arm seams. I was happy with the 335 and 355 sets. I think I may just be able to do a PR with this new shirt next month! I've never done more than 335 without a spotter and I wasn't nervous about the 355, so I went for it. It was clean and smooth. I also got some new wrist straps which are also very nice to have as they keep the tension really tight so there is no strain on my wrists at all.
After work I stopped at the Bubble for some supplementary chest work. here is what I did:
Flat Bench(with 54" shirt): 8 x 225, 3 x 8 x 275
Floor Presses: 3 x 8 x 205
Decline Press: 12 x 205, 8 x 225, 8 x 275
Cable Flys: 20 x 40, 12 x 60, 10 x 70
Flat DB Press: 3 x 8 x 90
Very good day. Hopefully I'll be dead sore tomorrow. I know my triceps will be all bruised up, but that was the desired effect.

I'll wager you could've done even better than 2x355 if you hadn't done shoulders the previous day! Nice benching.
