Katana Bench Shirt (A/S or S/S)

One Katana. Two Sleeve Styles. Maximum Power.

The Titan Katana Bench Shirt brings elite platform performance with your choice of Angled Sleeve (A/S) for arched benchers or Straight Sleeve (SS) for flat benchers. Both cuts use our patented torque sleeve patterning and NXG Super Plus—a denser, stronger evolution (~26% thicker/stronger vs. older NXG+)—to channel tension into explosive bar speed and a confident lockout while staying single-ply and IPF approved.

A/S — Angled Sleeve (for Arched Benchers)

• Optimized sleeve angle helps seat the shirt for a tight touch and efficient bar path.
• Loads lats and triceps to translate setup tension into strong press-out.
• Defined groove with aggressive rebound for PR-chasing arch benchers.

S/S — Straight Sleeve (for Flat Benchers)

• Straight-sleeve control and predictable touch for flatter setups.
• High carryover without leaving single-ply categories or legality.
• Built for bar speed and stable lockout in a flatter bench groove.

Shared Katana Advantages

• Torque Sleeve Architecture: Patent-pending patterning that helps you stay in the groove and convert tension into pop off the chest.

• Patented Power: US8578517B2

Fit & Break-In

Choose a competition-tight fit for maximum carryover or a training fit for easier touch and longer sessions. Break in progressively across several sessions; small changes to sleeve set, arch, touch point, and bodyweight can materially affect the touch and rebound.

Guarantee

Backed by Titan’s unmatched coverage: 2-year blowout protection and an 18-month “No-Run” guarantee on NXG material. Train hard. Compete harder.
