Katana is kicking my butt Posted by Joe on 1/15/2008, 8:10 am 74.78.100.83 After having gone thru a F6 and a Inzer canvas, I felt I was ready to try the Katana A/S. I just cannot get this shirt to work for me no matter what I do. I have only gotten three lifts to the chest, and they would of been red lights in a meet due to the weight being more than I could lock out without moving my butt. I am working with Titan distibutor Mike Kenney when time permits at his gym, so I have experienced help. It is just me not finding the groove. I am thinking about going back to a new F6, or maybe the Fury. What is the better shirt btw the two. I like the F6, but never have lifted in the Fury yet.  Post a Response

F6 is for an archer and a Fury is for the flat back bencher. Do you arch? Where do you touch the bar? How many times have you benched in the Katana? Are you pulling the front down? Are you wearing a belt? --Previous Message-- : After having gone thru a F6 and a Inzer : canvas, I felt I was ready to try the : Katana A/S.

Re: Katana is kicking my butt Posted by Joe on 1/15/2008, 10:40 am, in reply to "Re: Katana is kicking my butt" 71.186.233.87 Hey Mike, I arch as best I can, nothing crazy, try tucking my shoulders and getting my belly up. I touch just at the bottom of the pecs with the F6 and the Katana is belly benching. I do use a belt for all shirted lifts. My problem could be keeping my elbows tight under the bar too. I have yet to video tape myself, but reading other posts of you saying that kind of makes me wonder. --Previous Message-- : THe fury and F6 are different designs.

Re: Katana is kicking my butt Posted by Mike Adelmann on 1/15/2008, 10:43 am, in reply to "Re: Katana is kicking my butt" 67.60.9.9 Your elbows must stay under the bar. Let the collar ride up a little and it will be easier to touch lighter weight. I can touch 400 in mine but also can tighten it up so 600 wont touch --Previous Message-- : : Hey Mike, : I arch as best I can, nothing crazy, : try tucking my shoulders and getting my : belly up.

Re: Katana is kicking my butt Posted by Joe on 1/15/2008, 10:48 am, in reply to "Re: Katana is kicking my butt" 71.186.233.87 I will give it a go. My next meet is in one month, and I am getting worried about being between shirts and not mastering this shirt. I will lift in it again in two days. Thanks, and I will get back to you to let you know how I did. Joe --Previous Message-- : Your elbows must stay under the bar.
