Down to Micro Plates: Barbell Progression and Lifting Tee

When the five pound jumps stop working, you buy fractional plates and start adding one and a quarter pounds at a time. It is what running out of easy progress actually looks like, and it arrives in the mail in a very small, very heavy box.

Outside the gym it is portion control. A diet, small plates at dinner, somebody being disciplined about serving sizes, possibly a restaurant that charges a lot for very little. They read restraint. It is the exact opposite of restraint.

Filed as a PROGRESSION LOG label with INCREMENT REVISED beneath, under an engraved fractional plate drawn face on. A flat disc with a center hole and a milled edge, no weight stamp and no maker's mark of any kind.

What it is

• Unisex softstyle tee, 4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)
• 100% ring-spun cotton in the solid colors. Sport Grey is a 90% cotton, 10% polyester blend, and Dark Heather is 65% polyester, 35% cotton
• Double stitched neckline and sleeves, side seamed, tear away label
• Sizes S through 3XL
• Fourteen colors. Seven light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream

Where it comes from

Custom printed in the USA. Every shirt is printed here, one at a time, on a soft cotton blank woven overseas.

Nothing is printed until you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets thrown away.

Getting it to you

Free US shipping on orders $45 and up. Under that it is a flat $8.00. We make it after you order it, which takes 2 to 5 business days, and it then takes 3 to 4 business days to reach you from a US facility. Most orders arrive in 5 to 9 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the label is created.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print.

The Natural colorway

Natural has small dark speckles through the fabric. That is the undyed cotton showing, and it is expected rather than a fault.
