Hello,

I recieved my Fury on Fri and tried it on Sat and i was blown away.I could almost get it on myself.It is very tight in the arms but no pinching.as soon as you start to bend the elbows the material literally locks up and i could barely and i mean barely get 495 to my chest but as soon as you start the concentric portion the weight just explodes to 3/4 position.I am going to start training triceps 3 x a week because you need a stronger lockout than the other shirts.

I did 525 and i've been doing only volume training the last 13 weeks and my pr is 535.If i had been using another company's shirt the 525 would have stayed on my chest.

I highly recommend this shirt to anyone who wants a bigger bench i guarantee you love it!!!

By the way with the stretch back you can get and keep a really tight shoulder and lat position.

Thanks TITAN you have raised the bar yet again.

Regards,

Dave

THE FURY review

Hello everyone,

I tried out my Titan Fury Bench shirt last night for the first time and it was quite an experience. I want to share the good, the bad, and the whatever else.

When I first opened the package I noticed right away the soft back build. The fabric on the back is like fabric made for bench singlets. Turning the shirt over the fabric on the front was the rock solid NXG stuff you see on the squat suits.

I pulled on the shirt. It came on very easy. The guys helping me asked if the shirt was fitted right. I started to wonder. It got over me head no problem, I then had to work my arms up into the shirt. This required some work but soon enough the arms where worked in.

The feeling of this shirt was very strange. My arms where not forced to hang outward like other shirts. My delts and back where not burning from putting on the shirt. My under arms where not getting cut up. And I wondered if this shirt could do anything for me because it felt like I was not getting any support at all. With old shirts one can feel if they are going to get a lot out of it when putting it on. This one I could not figure out at all.

Then we head to the bench.

As I have been told by others the loose back allowed a better arch. So with that I did my set up as if I was training with no shirt. Just so you know I am a heavy set guy so arching is not easy. It's harder with a shirt.

I set up with an arch and the weight felt very strange. It felt like I was not wearing a shirt. I started to bring the bar to my chest. I felt the support of the shirt right away. It was very solid and nothing like I felt before. I could also keep my lats together and arch was solid.

When the bar reached my chest it did not feel like I was suffocating. The bar felt like it was going to snap off my chest however. I pressed the weight.. I flew off my chest. I tried the weight again. Same result. I did the weight 4 times. I would do more but my buddies told me to stop (I am training for USAPL Men's Open Nationals)

After I racked the weight and sat up. My arm pits where not ripped all to hell. My shoulders felt great and I wanted to hit the weight again right away.

So.. to sum it up....

The positives.
Shoulders are not fatigued after putting the shirt on. The time it takes to put the shirt on is less the half of other shirts and twice as easy. Hold and arch in the bench is natural and damaged to your armpits is greatly reduced. Chest pain is non existent when the bar hits your chest. The rebound is amazing. This shirt is the answer to the Open back shirt for IPF lifters.

The price. Cheaper then most other shirts.

The Negatives.
If you are not used to wearing an open back shirt you will be taken off guard by the feel of this shirt at first.

If you order this shirt.
Order early. Just like the NXG squat suit it has a very different feel then anything else you will know. Take the time to work with this shirt and get it fitted correctly. The results you get will no doubt be outstanding.

Ok, I know the Fury is IPF approved but is it USAPL approved as well? Does anyone know?

 

[Deciever]

it is
it was being used at USAPL mens nationals

Bigokie and Screwball both ordered theirs, so we will see soon what they think.

Guys, Spatts may shock a bunch of you when she gets a properly fitted shirt on. Her lockout strength is amazing, and she has her main trouble in full presses becuase of an organic shoulder situation. Sounds a lot lke me, and that type of person is just the type that gets a ton out of a shirt.

Some are fortunate not to have injuries that become the weak link in their bench chain. For the rest of us, shirts are a Godsend.

As I told Arioch...I can't believe my bench is about to pass my squat. I NEVER would've imagined THAT.
