Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a weight lifting support device. The weight lifting support device includes a panel having a pair of side edges and an elongated member. The elongated member has a first end and an opposite second end. The elongated member is coupled to the panel to define two independent loops. Each of the two independent loops has an opening on positioned either side of the panel and each of the two independent loops and openings thereof extend beyond a respective side edge of the panel. The two independent loops have an elasticity and the panel has a restriction elasticity less than the elasticity of each of the two independent loops.

Abstract: A support shirt including a shirt body including a front portion having a top edge and an opposite bottom edge, a pair of sleeves extending from the front portion, the pair of sleeves having a sleeve elasticity, a restriction panel provided on the front portion between the pair of sleeves and extending from the top edge toward the bottom edge, the restriction panel having a restriction elasticity less than the sleeve elasticity, a receiver affixed to the shirt body to define a cavity between the receiver and the shirt body, and a protective pad disposed within the cavity.

Abstract: An adjustable support shirt comprising a shirt body and a pair of shirt body sleeves positioned adjacent to an upper portion of the shirt body is provided. The sleeves include a first end attached to the shirt body at sleeve body holes and a second end having a sleeve opening circumference. Each of the sleeves includes at least one adjustable member which extends generally longitudinally along at least a portion of the sleeves. The at least one adjustable member is adapted to increase or decrease the sleeve opening circumference.

Abstract: A support shirt including a shirt body and a pair of shirt body sleeves positioned adjacent to an upper shirt body is provided. The sleeves are attached to the shirt body at sleeve body holes, with each of the sleeves including sleeve reinforcement regions extending at least a portion of the distance from the sleeve holes to an outer edge of the sleeves. The sleeve reinforcement regions extend substantially along a centerline extending longitudinally across the sleeves and the upper sleeve body to stabilize and provide support to the shoulders of a wearer during an upward lifting motion.

Abstract: A support shirt including a shirt body including a front portion having a top edge and an opposite bottom edge, a pair of sleeves extending outwardly from the front portion, and a restriction panel provided on the front portion between the pair of sleeves and extending from the top edge toward the bottom edge, the restriction panel defined by a pair of restriction seams, wherein the sleeves have a sleeve elasticity and the restriction panel has a restriction elasticity less than the sleeve elasticity.

Abstract: An adjustable suit is provided and comprises fabric selected from the group consisting of single or multi-ply polymeric fabric and fabric from natural fibers. The adjustable suit includes a waist section having a front portion and a back portion and a waist section circumference, and a leg section including a pair of legs, each of the legs having a leg opening therein. Each of the leg openings has a leg opening circumference. The adjustable suit includes first, second, third and fourth adjustable members extending along the waist and leg sections. The first and second adjustable members are positioned on one side of a sagittal plane extending longitudinally along the waist and leg sections, and the third and fourth adjustable members are positioned on an opposite side of the sagittal plane of the suit and extend along the waist and leg sections.

Abstract: Adjustable support pants or briefs are provided which include one or more of a waist section, hip support section, or leg section with leg openings. The support pants or briefs include first and second adjustable members positioned on opposite sides of a sagittal plane of the support pants or briefs which extend generally longitudinally along the garment. The adjustable members are adapted to increase or decrease at least one of the waist, hip, or leg opening circumferences to reduce the time and effort needed to don (and take off) the garment. The adjustable features of the support pants or briefs also permit the wearer to tighten one or more sections of the garment to accommodate the different physiques of wearers while providing a snug fit and support during athletic or work activities.

Abstract: A weightlifting wrap is provided which prevents slippage, increases rebound potential, allows simpler application, and provides greater stability. The wrap includes a stretchable material having exposed elongate pliable strand members on one outer surface of the wrap. The exposed pliable strand members are arranged in an offset lattice configuration. The exposed pliable strand members may have a coefficient of friction sufficient to grip the previous layer of wrap.

Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention are directed towards solving the need for weightlifting wraps which prevent slippage, increase rebound potential, allow simpler application, and provide greater stability. An embodiment of the invention comprises: gripper wraps made of stretchable material; the gripper wraps having exposed rubber strands on one outer surface of the gripper wraps; the exposed rubber strands arranged in an offset lattice configuration, wherein the exposed rubber strands have a coefficient of friction sufficient to grip the previous layer of wrap.
