    i got a single ply katana from him when they first came out (when i was doing single ply meets) turn around time was 1 wk!!! titan the company blows,if you order directly from them you wait at least 8 wk. pete(who owns titan)is a dick. i cant figure out why their customer service sucks so bad. if you ask them to make a custom product for you, thye get all pissy, and 9 out of 10 times they wont do it for you. inzer products are not my favorite, but john will do ANY custom thing you ask for, and the turn around time is very quick.

    i have been looking at the metal pro bash shirt, maybe my next choice, so far, i love all my metal gear, i know one guy who has the older shirt and loves it.this maybe the way to go.

    boss shirt came in, ididnt see it yet, my girlfriend has it at work, so i will see it soon and give you an update

    9/25

    press workout

    loose boss shirt 500 fro 1 reps! got my opener!

    katan shirt
    550-1 no touch
    585-1 no touch easy lock out
    585 dumped the weight on my stomach because i was trying anything to touch, but no good. strained my back, stoped here. i am DONE working in the shirt, i have done more work than i would normaly ever do in a shirt because i couldnt touch. i also riped the grid stitching in the katan shirt, hopefully this will allow me to touch a little more easily.

    meet attempts will look like this

    500 opener, boss shirt

    2nd attempt 600, katana

    3rd ??? will have to see how the 2nd goes,

    i didnt use a single, it was my same old double Katana.i did take out the gird sticich after the workout, it is still double ply, just now , you can feel both layers since they arent sewn together, this should give me a little less suport, i am going to thorw on the shirt on friday, to see if removing the grid did any good. i have used a single before. i was getting about 150lbs out of it

    it came off the chest fine,but the tricep lock was a little more me than it should be., the shirt is just to big, the chest plate is about 1 inch more than it should be and the sleeves are about a half inch to loose. the shirt would fit a 220 to a 242 lifter. i think the boss would be a real good shirt, easy grove, very springy off the bottom, and considering how loose it was, it did give me a good ammt of tri support.

    Good,let me have it LOL,J/K

    The reason I asked about the single ply Katana,was that I remeber you getting one a while back.I was considering to get one too see how the groove and carry over was.The problem I have with shirts is that I have extremely long arms for my height,I'm 5'7'' with a 74" reach,so even with a big arch ,my elbows are still deeper in the hole than someone of equal height.So thats why I'm considering on a shirt that fits a little tighter,and lets me get into the hole with atleast 500.Right now my raw is in the low 400's(405-425).and my best ever out of my 2ply katana is 525 (in the gym).I just dont get any stretch or ROM out of the shirt at all,and what little I do is due too my long arms.So hopefully you can see my problems with a shirt,I have too get one a little bigger than most just too get too touch,in turn,I run out of support on the way back up due too the shirt being a tad too big.
    I'm just genetically fvucked for shirted benching,should have stayed with boxing.

    here is what i would do, i would get a custom double shirt with a losser chest plate and tighter arms.that should help. i bet that crazy super phenom would work for you, shirt is easy to touch in and has alot of spring and tri support. i dont know waht inzer charges the general public for the shirt, but i know it is expensive

    well i hat to let you down, it went like crap!

    squats 700-miss
    700- good PR
    750- good PR

    press

    550-used metal viking MISS
    550-used super phenom MISS
    600- katan, i finaly touched, but i had no tri strengthe left

    bombed out of the meet

    yes i am happy with the squat, and if you read the training journal, you all know i had ALOT of shirt problems,so i kind of saw this coming. well, i am getting rid of all my new shirts, i am making a trade to get my old shiert back that i did 575 in, and i am going to stick with that shirt. i learned a good lesson, a tighter shirt with too many modifications isnt always a good thing.

    taking 2 wks off from training,rest and relax, stop supplements for a few months and get back to the drawing board

    Doc ,you gave it your best considering the bench issues,you didnt let us down by any means and there will be other meets =)
    I hear you on the shirts with too many modifications,thats what I think about the katana,it has SOOOOOOOO much support and a hard too find groove.
    What shirt are you going back too ? I'm probably going too go back too the rage X 2ply (those shirts AKWAYS gave me a good pop off the chest),but I would like too try a tight single pl Katana 1st. Or maybe even the phenom you suggested too me.

    Spring isnt too far away Doc,I'm pretty sure youll be making your goal lifts by then bro ! Train hard and smart bro

    stay away from the super phenom, i didnt like it, my friends love the super phenom, but i hated it. i am going to trade back to my original double f6, i am in the process of making a deal for it now, i also am going to get a 48 katana, one size bigger, not options, no grid stitch, just a stock shirt and see if i can work it in. was your katana grid stitched? i cant remember
