Ok, I am looking at my first bench shirt and I have 4 to choose from. A titan fury, titan f6, Standard inzer denim or the Rage X. If you have one of these shirts can you please tell me about it, and if have knowledge about all 4, please recommend one.
Start with Fury or F6, F6 if you have an arch.
Rage X is to strong to start in imo.
Havent tried the Standard inzer denim.

I recommend the Inzer Rage X.
A few great reasons to buy an INZER RAGE X:
- Stretchy-Back makes the Rage X more effective and easier to get into.
- Great carry-over from the bottom of the bp to the top of the bp.
- This type of material allows the shirt to last longer than other bp shirts.
- Extra Reinforced front shoulder seams add support and security for this radical design.
- Rage X will boost your confidence because you’ll be able to handle more than you ever did before.
- You’ll notice an instance increase in your bench press.
- The biggest bp has been done in the Inzer Rage X!

I have heard that quite a few times and I believe that will be my best choice, but the only problem is my financial situation, all my money is going to rent and food, and literally have no extra money. Do you think it would really be bad to start off with the Rage X, because if I were to buy an F6, Im looking not to get another bench shirt for atleast another 2 years.

Then F6 isnt the best choice, I go through them in like 6 months (1 shirt workout per week, gain 50 to 70 kg in the shirt).
The X rage seems to be more solid, or the katana pretty solid too.
Doesnt anyone at your powerlift gym have old shirts?
If you weigh 90 kg for instance you might need to start in a F6 46, but with great effort and arch end up in F6 40.
You really have to try some shirts before you know what really fits.
EDIT:
Have heard from some of the more experienced lifters that the x rage is too tight to begin with, then fits for 1 meet if you are lucky, then gets too loose…

I thought Kennelly did his in a phenom?
OP, I’ve used a rageX, a black denim and an ultimate denim (2 sizes too big) and I’d go with a denim over the rage
WTF. Doesn’t anybody around here alter their own gear? All these guys crying about shirts stretching out. No shit.
If your bench shirt stretches have it taken in. I have old F6’s and Fury’s that have been altered probably 6-8 times and still make great training shirts. Any NXG + or Super + shirt can typically be altered a couple times before it starts to run. It’s not rocket science. If the chest panel stretches out, which it will, take the fucking thing in.
To the OP, we use exclusively Titan. For a first shirt a Fury or F6 are fine.
I have some experience with the Rage X, as well from lifters I have worked with and don’t feel it stands up to alteration as well as the Titan material. Otherwise, it seems fine but is basically a Fury knock-off.
Both shirts have a stretchy back. In fact, Titan was first to market with this. Inzer was still making bloody knuckle shirts until the Fury hit the market.
How well a shirt carries through the lift has more to do with the fit and how it is set-up than the brand. If you can’t bench more in either shirt, raise your hand and I’m sure somebody will be available to hit you in the head with a ball peen hammer.
I personally think the Katana is the best single ply shirt on the market but would caution you against getting one if you don’t have somebody experienced around to help you. How it performs is VERY specific to how it fits and is set up. You can’t just slap it on and expect it to work. The tunability is what makes it such a great shirt but it’s not for everyone.
An F6 or Fury would be fine start.

Thats another one of my obstacles, theyre is absolutley noone I know that uses bench shirts, or even powerlifts.

The only thing im really worried about is how much I can get out of it, and from what youve read before is the price, so your sure they are good shirts. (sorry for being very questionable, but I really want this)
Does anyone know a legit site to buy off of?

It was. For an Inzer spokesman he’s surpisingly uninformed.
Incidentally, Luyando, Lattimer, Frankl and I THINK Gene’s were all done in Super Duper Phenomns too.

Well, grasshopper, your fears are misguided.
Worry more about which shirt you can learn and use the best. Worry later about how much you can get from it.
Tell you what. Buy an F6, learn it and then PM me. I will do my best to put you in touch with someone in your area who can help you alter it to get more out of it later. Bottom line, order a reasonable fit at first, learn it, then worry about getting more out of it.
In fact, if you order from plgearonline.com I can vouch for Priscilla as having some of the best knowledge of gear and how to alter it on the planet. Might work out pretty well for you.
Man, I feel like a post whoring product banging idiot.
Anyway, one of the major strengths of Titan resulted from a weakness identified and conquered.
That is, their delivery time which resulted in them developing a dealers network. These dealers hold and manage inventory.
Anyway, the point I am making is that the OP should look at the Titan distribution network (www.titansupport.com), find a dealer near him or who has in stock what he needs, buy his gear, and then work with the proprietor to make the most of it.
Whew. I feel like such a dirty little whore. It’s refreshing in a heterosexual kind of way.
In fact, I kinda like it.
Now this might seem like a dumb question but you cant know if you dont ask. But could useing a shirt help improve your raw lifts b/c your doing more weight? just wondering. (I bet im going to get flamed for this)

Son, you don’t need to educate me about Inzer! Check your facts instead of speaking with fallacies!!
I said the biggest bp has been done in an Inzer Rage X. Tiny Meeker has the biggest bp in the 308 class.

If you want a big raw bench press, you must train with raw bench press technique/form.
If you want a big shirt bench press, you must train with the bp shirt.
Some lifters have a great raw bench press & a great shirt bp.
Some lifters only have a great shirt bp & not a good raw bp.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? “son”???
Are you so arse backwards that you think Kennelly doesn’t have hte biggest bench ever???
There is a lot with good raw but crappy equipped lift too
and define biggest bench, please?
I have little experience i bench shirts.
I have competed in both a fury and a rage X, tried out an F6 once.
The F6 didnøt do much for me. It was easy to touch in though, but you really need a good arc to get the most out of it I think.
It was easier for me to touch in a slightly smaller rage, than in my Fury. What i like about the rage is that the material is a bit more stretchy than the titan mxg+ material in the fury.
THis means, if you set the rage X agressively it is extemely effective but allso harder to control. On the other hand, if you set it conservatively it makes benching very easy. I haven’t succeded in doing the same with the fury.
In choosing your first shirt don’t go to tight with the fit. Know that the key thing is not the shirt, it is the amount of work you put in to your benching in and out of the shirt. Very few people get great carryover without putting in a lot of work in the shirt.
Safety first, a lot of hard work, and you will get it.
