@100dufus Been training since 1993. It takes a very long time. It takes even more work and dedication than most people have. Being drug free, I do not use Anabolic Steroids or Human Growth Hormones. It takes a lot of hard work, special exercises, proper form and technique, and a balance of mental prep. Take a look at our web site for more info on training routines/programs. Thank you for your time and posting comments. Really and truly appreciate the kindness.
@xBiGxKiNGx This shirt is a Titan Super Katana Singly Ply polyester. It does give a lot of carry over. My best RAW bench back in 1998 was 534, (12 years ago)...haven't tested RAW bench in a LONG time! I have recently switched back to a Regular Katana and hit a 688 pound bench on Feb. 19th. I saw your recent contest benches up to 455...VERY IMPRESSIVE. Keep up the great work and best wishes.
@garageink i was so mad i only got 455 that meet. my left shoulder is shitty on saturdays apperently lol. i got 445 for 4 missed lockout by 2 inches on the 5th. putting my raw max at about 505. but yea i have a bad shoulder and i can only bench heavy when it wants too. so maxing around 500 raw at the moment, i just got my super katana in the mail today. and it is BRUTAL. i can fit in the body just fine but getting my arms in is a different story. im going for 600+ friday in it. ill video it.
@xBiGxKiNGx I was still very impressed!!! I have a couple videos that may help you. The one is for shoulder rehab/prehab to help regain strength. You can find it on my web site of garageinkpowerteam com
The other video is to help you put your shirt on. Type in YouTube search for "Putting on a Titan Bench Shirt-Garage Ink Style" This will help you put your shirt on. Good luck Brother and best wishes.
@garageink this is like about my other comment. it may sound like shit my max has gone up that fast, but i changed my form like all the way around. i went and worked out with one on my friends who benches 635 raw. and he showed me alot of stuff i was totally missing out on. and it made my max go up alot.
i think on the first attempt we do around 690 and dont pull the shirt down tight before snapping the belt..... it may touch then. Ifit does I have no doubt you will lock it backup.
how do you do that it must take alot of training you have to teach me.

@powrbuildr I agree...don't pull the shirt down as much for the 690. Niko, you are awesome!! So exciting to see you putting up all these PRs!
