Design story & product details

The words THE PAUSE IS PART OF THE LIFT. run in tall, cracked capitals, with PAUSE and LIFT. in brick red, above a lifter holding a loaded bar still on his chest. It is the paused bench press rule every powerlifter knows, and it works just as well for rest days and setbacks. The low view from his feet puts a worn sneaker sole right up front on this sweatshirt.

It makes a good gift for a gym partner training for a first powerlifting meet.
