What make kit- do you wear a Titan Centurion and Katana?


Also am I right in saying that you train each lift bench squat deadlift twice a week from looking at your journal

Currently I wear a Titan Centurion and a Katana. I've got some Super Katana's on the way that I'll try out.
I wear Titanium knee wraps and THP wrist wraps.
I squat and bench wearing Safe's Contender squat shoes and I deadlift in wrestling shoes.
I don't currently have a DL suit, but I'm working on finding something that works.

As far as my template, currently it looks like this:

Monday
Suit Squat
Raw Bench
Triceps Supplement (currently flat back floor press)

Tuesday
Suited Deadlift / Deadlift w/belt
Shirt Bench Assist (currently Bench + bands)
Squat Assist (usually SSB)

Wednesday
Prehab (shoulders, knees, hips, back)
An-2 Conditioning
Flexability

Thursday
Shirt Bench
Deadlift assist (usually a raw, beltless DL)
Incline/Overhead

Friday
Raw Squat
Raw Bench Variation
DL Assist (SLDL, RDL, GM, etc)

Saturday
Prehab (shoulders, knees, hips, back)
An-2 Conditioning
Flexability

So I do 3 Squats, 3 Deadlifts, and 6 benches.

Thanks

Have you worn the F6 shirt before and how do you think it compares to Katana?

Reason being I have an F6 shirt at the moment my first and only shirt which is lose but Im doing well in it but all my training partners use Katana and they say you'll lift more weight in it and grooves better

What you think?

To me, the groove was very similar. I'm not sure about the new Super Katana -- I haven't tried it yet. It is a lot stronger shirt than the F6 for sure.

I might as well get into a katana shirt soon then after my next comp so it seems, as I should be lifting more weight in it I guess

This isn't the proper place for this question, but since you placed your current template in here I have a question to ask about it.

In the template in PLUSA and before Nationals I notice you do shirt bench before the heavy suit squats.  Now in your current template you have 3 days between suit squats and shirt bench.

I have trained with a Westside template for 2.5 years and all 3 lifts went up dramatically but I feel I have more potentional.  When I do heavy squats, I find that I am a little fried and sore to hit shirt bench one or two days later.  I have spotters on Mondays and Wednesdays and usually do heavy squats on Monday and heavy bench on Wednesday (a la Westside).  The problem and my question is - any suggestions on how to fit the suited squat on Monday and shirt bench on Wednesday and what the rest of the template could look like.  The best days for me are M, W, F and either Sat or Sun due to family obligations.  Thanks for your time.

PS I could possibly switch the shirted bench to monday and suit squat to wednesday.  I wonder what that template might look like as well.  I'm getting the gist of your template, but piecing it together to suit my needs - well I guess i'm lacking creative juices here.

The reason I changed my template was because I could no longer get to the gym on Sunday. This made sense with the way the overall design was flowing.

Let's start another thread regarding template design... I'll put the first post up.
