I can touch 315 with my 47. I think if I can get it on and seated it should work, it will be fun to try. I will make sure I wear my hand knitted singlet for the filming. It looks like I will be in the big city next week on Tuesday the 20th let me know if you guys are having a workout.

Will see if it works.Mellon has been taking hot yoga classes and there may be a conflict. A 47 shirt is not a 44 shirt.Did you lose 25 lbs by chance. Harv

I had the shirt on yesterday and couldn't really touch anything manageable so I'm planning to get in the shirt 2 more times before the meet, hopefully. I adjusted the sleeves a little differently this time and couldn't believe how much more support I got out of my Katana. I will have to play around with it a bit more so I can touch.

The shirt you mention is it the 44/46 that you bought?I can't believe you can get into it. Harv

No not the 44/46 my 47. I did get the 44/46 on but it is going to take some work to get that one broken in. I will bring it in next time I come in so you can give it a try.

Don't use the 44/46 too much as you will likely have to sell it to me SLIM. You said you did something different with the sleeves.What exactly did you do,switch from Wal Mart to Rona bags?Have to admit the Wal Mart bags worked very well. Harv

Do you get the full compliment of the Japanese Powerlifting Team to squeeze you into the shirt or do you just rely upon unsuspecting locals? McLifter ;D

Ed worked out with us last week in the 47 shirt and using Wal Mart bags for slip ons it went on fairly easy.Hard part was setting the sleeves back it seemed.The 47 shirt is not an alteration but a special made direct from Titan and even has the name of the person who made it on the tag.I had always assumed that they only came in even sizes,IE,44/46/48 etc.For a few dollars more you can get a special made shirt IE a 47 or a 44/46 combination.Seems Greg Doucette also uses these odd sized shirts from his comments on the CPU site today.

Yes Harv the walmart bags are the best. I put the shirt on with my palms facing each other this time and it seems to have really torqued the shirt up. The name on the tag of the shirt is the person how ordered the custom I had thought that it was the person who made it but I was wrong. Do you get the full compliment of the Japanese Powerlifting Team to squeeze you into the shirt or do you just rely upon unsuspecting locals? I usually get the Dauphin perogy eating team and a forklift to help me squeeze into the shirt. Actually my 47 only takes a couple minutes to get it in the right place and I swear by the walmart bags, they help a lot.

Ed,not sure as to what this is doing as I forgot if your palms are up or down when you put on the shirt on.As compared to how you put the shirt on previously,are you now torquing the sleeves inward or outward? Have taken a look at Wal Mart bags and I think I have found a better bag. "You ask whose?" Try the clear bags at Costco that they have around the meat cooler.Found one around the house and they seem much more sturdy. Have to get a second one to try out.I noticed that the perogies come in pretty sturdy bags as well!! Harv
