IPF APPROVED The F6 is specifically designed for arched benchers, to improve control and increase the potential for bigger benches! Titan does it again with a clean, clear-cut design that is implemented with world class craftsmanship and the strongest materials in the powerlifting world. Learn about the F6:
- How the F6 Works - How the F6 is Constructed - Guarantees - Here's Proof!
All Titan shirts, the F6 and the Fury feature NXG+ fabric. Titan created it specifically for powerlifting and it is still the strongest, most supportive fabric on the market - virtually tear and run proof. NXG+ is constructed from super high tensile strength polymer yarns utilizing much of the same technology used to produce body armor. While NXG+ won't stop a bullet it can stop a monster weight dead in its tracks and rebound it to completion. And then there is the way we use the fabric. Titan places the ribbed side down to accomplish two things:
- maximum wicking action to help move perspiration off the body faster. This helps keep perspiration from acting as a lubricant on the body NXG+ is the original High Performance fabric, the real thing. And the proof is in the performance and guarantees. Go to our guarantee section and find out why the competition has never attempted to match or beat a Titan guarantee.
Titan invented the concept and is still improving on it. Our stretch material has been improved and now offers more body, weight and strength. And it still offers the generous stretch properties ideal for maximum utilization of the lats. We understand that constriction and restriction of the lats and back is never a good idea on the bench. All big benchers know that proper lat utilization is one of the most unappreciated, overlooked and underused aspects of proper benching technique. And don't forget one of the great fringe benefits that was an innovation in itself - easy on and easy off application.
You can't create a shirt designed to handle todays monster loads using yesterdays technology and materials. While others still use lightweight threads that you can pop by hand, we use a state of the art thread that is so strong, it is virtually impossible to break by hand. While smooth as silk and designed to run through high-speed machinery at speeds of up to 7,500 RPM, it holds incredible loads. Check out the photos!
We then take this thread and use special needles to knit the thread in-between the fibers of our NXG+ fabric. Consider that all Titan shirts have more stitching per square inch than any other shirt of its kind and you'll begin to appreciate what type craftsmanship goes into any Titan shirt.
This is powerlifting and the stresses of our sport demand more. Straight stitching and its variations are static and attempt to resist or fight stress. Instead, we combine our special thread with our signature stitch that is designed to expand and contract with the forces exerted on it. That's why you'll never hear any snap, crackle or pop on any of our shirts.
The most critical seams on a shirt are those that join the sleeve to the chest. If a shirt is going to tear, it's usually not the seam itself that tears, but the fabric alongside the seam, regardless of how many layers of separate fabric are sewn on top of the seam. So, we take a different approach. We make as low profile a seam as possible. Not a weaker seam, but a seam that offers less exposed area to stress. Built into this seam system is a double redundant backup stitch system.
- It is then backed up by a safety stitch and an overlock stitch. The safety stitch backs up our signature stitch while the overlock stitch prevents stress from unraveling any raw edges and running through the seam.
Simply turn a Titan shirt inside out. You won't find a single straight stitch throughout the entire shirt! We use our safety and overlock stitch for all sides, sleeves and any place where two pieces of fabric have to be joined. It costs more and it takes more time. But if you are under a record load, which one would you rather have on?
The neck is one of the most critical areas of this generation shirt. NO chances are taken. We created a low profile collar constructed with a 6 ply folded seam held together with our Titan thread and signature stitch to create the strongest, legal neckline possible.
 Titan Support, My name is Jason B. Jackson I'm 39 and I compete in the WABDL organization in the weight class of 242. On July 24, 2004 in Dallas, Texas I did the biggest lifts of my powerlifting career, breaking my own world record of 672 lbs three times. I broke first with 673 lbs., then went on to break that with 705. Then on a 4th attempt I hit over a triple bw of 733 lbs. with a Titan F6. This is the first time that I have worn your equipment and I love it. I would like to thank Pete Alaniz, Ken Anderson, and the Titan Support System for making me a Southern Regional Champion. I look forward to doing bigger and better things in the Titan apparel. Thanks again. Action Jackson
