- Put Dean in his Katana and stretch it

Ok, today was pretty awesome. As mentioned, I overdid my rehab and my hips were totally fried to start today. Yet my form was improved from before with 75%. It started to break down under 80%, but I still feel that I'm headed in the right direction. This is the highest intensity so far in the cycle (it should continue from here).

And for the big news.... We put on Dean's Katana for the first time today! It is pretty much a perfect fit. It took us 30-40 minutes to get it on him. Baby powder was essential. He has all kinds of awesome bruises from me grabbing his skin/nipples and the shirt digging into him. We then did negatives, working up to one negative with 315 to stretch it out.

I'm pretty happy with how the shirt fits in the videos. It might have another .5-1 inch to sink in the armpits, but for the first day it's pretty good. If you watch the video of 315 closely, it looks like Dean is going to pass out/shit himself. Pretty awesome. Now Dean just needs to learn how to use it. His technique isn't quite textbook in the video...
