Human photography essay

Why T-shirt

When atlas squat hold lifting 700 pounds with my sleeves rolled up sleeveless, the bar was so heavy that it digged into my shoulders and rubbed off some skin. Lesson — tshirt is good because it covers your shoulders a bit, better for squats!

Second lesson —

Don’t buy or use cutoff or sleeveless shirts when lifting insanely heavy weights at the gym — whether squats or rack pulls and beyond.
