takes about 400lbs to touch in my katana right now. if i jacked the shirt i think it would be mid 4s to touch.. its a 46, but i think i could fit in a 44 if i had to / had help.
With the metal militia style of benching, the rep starts with a BB style rep to preload the chest plate of the shirt. I find this harder to touch (ive touched 350 without this method, plus i was lighter so the shirt was looser).. but this also gives the shirt more power i think.
i'm happy with my katana for a first shirt, i wish i got the AS (more like a F6) version as i feel the SS version is really limiting my arch. I plan on getting a 2ply katana when my bench is high 4s/500 i think.
