Those of you who compete, do you train in your singlet to get used to it?
Also, do you have to wear the tee shirt under it or can you just wear the singlet? At the risk of sounding liek an enormous idiot, singlets don’t look like they leave a lot of room for boxer briefs either.

I only wear the singlet once or twice leading into a meet and personally always wear a t-shirt under it. Be aware that the USAPL regs don’t allow boxers and no going commando., they pretty much require briefs. It doesn’t really require much getting used to.

Thanks George, I’m not a big fan of layers of clothes but I guess I’ll adapt.
Next week begins the return to 5/3/1 BBB for all major lifts but DL wich will be 5/3/1 but not BBB. I am keeping some of the vanity exercises though because, well I’m vain.

Just like George, I trained in my singlet once or twice before my first meet. Now I only wear it to compete. The reasons for this are simple:
It’s not significantly different from training in anything else since it’s not supportive gear.
It’s not flattering on me.
Each fed has different “costume” regulations. USAPL requires a collarless, pocketless T-shirt to be worn underneath the singlet. Men can, and do, remove the T-shirt for DL if they so choose. Which provides pleasure for the females in the audience and added testesterone for the male competitor.

This is a look that makes me happy. Not too long ago, BB did the shirtless deadlift thing training at home and inspired me to do the same. It suits him much better.
The singlet isn’t a big deal. Do like Snap suggested and wear it a couple of times and you should be good. It’s just like wearing an unflattering pair of shorts with straps.

Thansk for the advice, I don’t think anyone would want to see me pull shirtless but I don’t liek lifting in tons of clothes and I think layers would bother me.
Back was crappy and I forgot my video camera which is okay because my heavy squats were all shit and high as well. I’m annoyed at my back and since this is my anniversary weekend I better get my shit squared away,. No reason to let me horrible lifting ruin my wife’s weekend.
Luckily the kids this weekend will fix my mood. I love it when the little kids dressed like pumpkins come trick or treating.
def don’t bring the negative energy home. you should answer the doorbell with a singlet on - no shirt and tell the kiddies your dressed as a wrestler. I’m sure they will be impressed.
Yeah, between the legs would be awkward. Those plates are much more compact than I could be. But I could definitely hang off your back. Maybe like how they do it in the wife carrying contests:
Happy anniversary! Yeah, wives do have anniversary requirements, but I suspect that you’ve got the situ under control.
