What Bench shirt is the best?????

[TexasBP]

I was wondering what bench shirt is the best? I bought a Inzer Double Denim with velcro and I hate it. I will keep it and continue to try it. I was wanting a Titan Fury or Inzer Phenom with velcro. I will take any info you can give me.

It really all comes down to personal preference, IMO.

I have a Karin's double denim that I love. I fought with my Titan for over a year, and never could learn the groove well enough to get anything out of it. However, the guy I gave it to got 30lbs out of it the first time he put it on.

I'll never go back to poly, but that's me.

different shirts for different people. It also depends on the federation you lift in and what they allow. In a federation that only allows poly the titan fury and inzer phenom are the best right now. In a federation that allows anything karins is the best IMO.

I like my Karins DD. The first time I wore my DD in a meet I only got 525, something I surely could have done in my single poly. So at the time I didn't like my shirt either. But after practicing with it for a long time, I feel I have learned it. Don't give up on the DD. They take time to master. What is it about the denim that you don't like?

I hate how you have to bring the bar down so low almost to your belly. It feels so out of grove. And I have trouble keeping my tucked in.

thats why i dont like denim, bringing the bar down that low kills my shoulders and feels unnatural to me

titan is fuckin awesome..i have that, inzer heavy duty blast, and karin's double denim. i'll get some double polys next year and see what those are like. tb

 

[NatPLchaMP315]

i think that a double poly inzer is equal or a little less that a fury

but fury is the superior poly

What is the grove like on the Fury? What are the gains from a Fury? Also, what about the Inzer Phenom.

Kills your shoulders by decreasing the amount of shoulder rotation involved??!

The higher your bring the bar the more your shoulders have to rotate...

Fury has a low groove, almost as low as a denim. I have one workout partner getting 100 lbs assistance from it. I think its the best poly out there.

Phenoms are ok, but very uncomfortable, and not very reliable. If you get one, pay a little extra and get the superneck option, otherwise they rip very easy. I have seen at least 20 phenoms rip down the front in the last year.

See, the groove on my Fury was higher than my denim, but I managed to work it down low to accomodate my benching style.

The problem was, I got no pop out of the bottom with the shirt setup like that, and all I ever got good at was dumping the weight.

What do you think of standard blast from inzer for a first time shirt user?

Absolute junk. If you want a basic shirt, get a Fury or an EHPHD. The lower blast shirts are crap, and in 3 weeks you will be wishing you had bought something better.

Sounds like you may have been a little too low, or your elbows were out of position at the bottom. The Fury does drive you towards you face, so you have to have good bar control.
