blackouts Posted by Big Daddy Raveen N on 6/29/2009, 7:38 am 125.236.182.229 I have a problem. Been using my Katana for a while now. I weigh 107 kg and have a 48 Katana. I need about 210 kg to touch and have lifted 230 kg, and 220/225 several times. However, I find the shirt terribly tight on my chest (even though the shirt isn't by powerlifting standards super super tight) as I get close to touching and on many occasions have had a one or two second blackout just as the bar touches my chest. I really do mean an actual blackout. Has anyone else had such a problem? Any suggestions as to what I can do? It's got me stumped and worried. Thanks mates! Rav  Post a Response

Re: blackouts Posted by M&M on 7/3/2009, 11:38 am, in reply to "blackouts" 204.210.113.159 I had this problem last year when I went a little tighter on my katana. I came close to blacking out a couple of times and literally saw stars. Trying to break a katana in is hell. But once I tried on the super katana it was soooo much easier. I cant pull the shirt down and tighten it for I will need too much weight just to get it to touch and I wont be able to push it up. But if I let the shirt ride high it touches easily and with the scoop neck you wont feel like youre getting choked out in an MMA match. If youre not using the super katana, I suggest buying one and trying it out. If you are, dont tighten the shirt and you should be fine.  Post a Response
