Description

A quick note:
Titan has recently raised their prices AGAIN on all items & according to the company website: Stock sizes are taking 6-8 weeks to ship and custom orders are taking 8-10 weeks.
My items are in stock NOW and if you buy them they will be shipped either the same day you pay (if you pay before 3 PM E.S.T) or the next business day by Priority mail with delivery confirmation AND a tracking #! On average, you will have your item in 2-4 days.

Titan Super Katana A/S (Angled Sleeve) Bench Press shirt Size 46 Black in Used but good condition.
This has a custom 3" scoop neck which is extremely popular with lifters that like to crank the shirts really low on the chest! Cost was 50 bux for the custom neck.
(Small repair to size tag.) (See pic #3)
There's some obvious wear on the chestplate so I've discounted this shirt generously from what I normally get but it's still fine for a training shirt or a lifter who wants to check out higher tech shirt without paying full price.
I called Titan and spoke with their gear specialist Isaiah and also emailed Ken Anderson who is a Titan dealer and long time Powerlifter to check on some info about this shirt.
While it doesn't say "Super" on the tag or logo, this is indeed a Super Katana which I was told is just a Katana shirt with a Super reinforced wide (scoop) collar.
See close-up photos of the collar.
(Pics #2 & 4)
This is an earlier version that didn't have the word Super put on and is definitely a custom job as the neck has the 3" scoop instead of the typical 1".
I have sold hundreds of these types of shirts and have only seen one other with the collar this wide & deep. It took me 3 times the amount of time to take photos of it because it kept slipping off the hangar!!
Like all previously owned items I sell, the shirt was washed in cold water on gentle cycle and hung to air dry so it is perfectly clean.
I'm known for being very picky about buying used gear and inspect each item at least twice, once when I buy it and again when I wash and process it. 99% of the time I reject any that have a problem.
Titan Super Katana
(3.00)
The legendary Titan Katana with a 'Super' cut, low scooped neck designed by Super Training gym.
Material: Polyester
Colors: Black, Royal Blue.
From the Titan Website:
The Super Katana A/S for Arched Backed benchers features our improved IPF approved collar design. It's wider, heavier, and cut lower for greatly improved performance. The new lower cut neck reduces likelihood of the shirt riding up and putting pressure on the neck while the increased width and thickness of the collar acts as an energy band to create more resistance and store more energy than regular Katana's. These two simple changes produce a huge improvement in performance.Rounding out the Super Katana is our patent pending torque sleeve design combined with our new NXG Super Plus material. This new material is 26% thicker and stronger than the older NXG+ material. The result is double-ply type power from a single-ply IPF approved shirt. The Katana will take your benches to new heights!
All Super Katana Bench Shirts Feature:
Lower cut neck reduces likelihood of the shirt riding up and putting pressure on the neck.
Increased width and thickness of the collar acts as an energy band to create more resistance and store more energy than the classic Katana.
Features NXG Super Plus fabric. It is the heaviest, strongest fabric in the lifting world. Created exclusively by Titan. Created specifically for powerlifting. Virtually tear proof and run proof.
Features synthetic, high tech, super high tensile strength thread. A single thread has tested to a load of 3.75 kg while a looped thread has tested to a load of 10kg! Costs up to 3 times more than regular thread!
Entire Super Katana is constructed using commercial satin stitching, no straight stitching on any part of the suit. This is a more costly and time consuming process, but performance and durability are our first priority
Features more thread than any other suit in the lifting world. Every suit uses an average of 8,448cm per suit. That's 3,326 inches or 277 feet of thread. Nearly the length of an American football field! Over the course of a production year that really adds up. In 2008, Titan used over 6,000,000 yards of thread. That's over 3,400 miles!
Takes up to 6 times longer to construct than a conventional pattern suit...a devotion to craftsmanship, not mass production.

"The real deal"
: The
Titan Super Katana Bench Shirt
is essentially a stock single-ply Titan Katana with a scooped and reinforced neckline. Adding a scoop neck to a shirt or reinforcing the neck are common alterations to make to shirts, especially in multi-ply feds where a 2 ply shirt becomes 4 ply at the neck.
It is far less common to make these alterations in single ply because a scoop neck is mimicking jacking the shirt down, and “reinforcing” the neckline would make the shirt 2 ply at the neckline…but… despite this Titan has not only done this for you with the
Titan Super Katana Bench Shirt
but it is also legal in single ply feds. Most lifters who have had a Titan Katana love their Super Katana because it is essentially giving you the strength of a regular Titan Katana, which is the sleeves, and adding a knarly chest plate to it.
If you know how to use a Titan Katana already then a Titan Super Katana is the next logical step…if however you have a hard time getting the Titan Katana to work then the Titan Super Katana will only compound your frustration. Most elite level single ply athletes use a Titan Super Katana now because it offers maximum stopping power and rebound in a single ply shirt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great deal for someone who wants one of these shirts to add pounds to your bench press. Titan Katana A/S Bench shirts can add 75-200 pounds to your Bench Press depending on how good you are at using one.
