I used the regular Fury for several years, and currently use a Katana with the angled sleeves. The Katana doesn't give me as much pop as my double denim, even though people say it will, but I haven't seen it yet. It's a nice shirt though. It's taken me a bit to get used to it, it hurts a lot more than the denim does.

I'm not sure about the Metal benchers. Their squat suits and briefs are supposed to be real good but you don't hear much about their shirts.

yea most people will say the metal briefs/suits are the best in the game, but there shirts not so much. The guys getting decent poundage out of metal shirts know just how to tweek it and what specs to order it with

I've gotten free gear from a different company, and I still prefer Inzer.

The bad thing about Metal shirts is that if you want anything tweaked or different specs, you either have to order directly from Metal or have someone else customize it (i.e. Ginny Phillips). The Metal Pro that I use has customs that Ginny put on it:

Extra Denim layer on inside of shirt
Grid Stitched Chest
Scooped Neck
Reinforced Neck
1" taken out of chest plate.

I like this one, but my next shirt will be a decked out Inzer Rage X.

I'm competing in another pro cash unequipped bp meet(April, 2009) and hope to do 500 in the 220 class. Definitely, I hope you reach 500 too!

As far as the bp shirt, the key is time, strengthen your triceps, break it in and find out what touches.

I have a Titan F6 bench shirt that I am having considerable trouble with getting to fit right. No matter how much or how hard I try pulling the shirt down in front, the neck still squeezes down on my throat and I can't breath. Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe the shirt just doesn't fit me right, I don't know but I am asking if there is anyone that would be willing to work with me to see if they get me in shirt right so I can do some benching. I think it is just my personal measurements that don't match the shirt I ordered but Titan has been unresponsive in assisting me so I thought I take it here to see if there any useful suggestions.

When you put on your shirt, are you doing it by yourself or do you have help from others?

My best raw bench is 465. My best shirted bench is......425. Granted I have had a lot of shoulder problems since starting geared lifting but I have gotten very little if anything from my shirts. My my point is that it is not automatic that you put the shirt on and boom + 75-100lbs. Don't make the mistakes I have made. Video your max bench and post it on this site and I am sure people will lead you in the right direction. You might think you know how you bench, I did, but when you watch it you get a different perspective. I say your max b/c often we have a different form with lighter weight. I did a bunch of research but it was confusing and was often contradicting. In the end I wasted a lot of money, and more importantly training time, with wrong style and wrong sized shirts. This is by NO way poo pooing gear. Good luck

I do it with help however I do not have 'professional' help. I need someone that can tell me what my problems are because they actually know.
