Slow & Steady Turtle Tee 

The turtle does not rush. The turtle does not quit. The Slow & Steady tee from Conquering Barbell is for the lifter who trusts the process, adds weight to the bar week after week, and lets consistency do what motivation cannot. A mean-faced turtle in a lifting belt squats a loaded barbell with absolute intent, the CB shield at his side, SLOW & STEADY arching above in bold distressed collegiate lettering. CONQUERING BARBELL LIFTING CLUB anchors the bottom. Slow progress is still progress. The bar does not lie.

Made on a garment-dyed heavyweight cotton tee for a broken-in feel straight out of the bag. The relaxed fit, lived-in texture, and vintage wash make it a go-to whether you are heading into a heavy session or walking out of one.

  • 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed for a soft, worn-in feel
  • Heavyweight construction with a relaxed, oversized fit
  • Garment dye process creates a unique vintage texture on every shirt
  • Front graphic with premium print quality
  • Classic unisex crew neck and short-sleeve cut
  • Available in black, ivory, and pepper

Every order is printed after you place it. Tees, tanks and hoodies ship in 7–10 business days. Flags ship in 10–14 business days. Weekends and holidays don’t count.

Priority Mail shows at checkout when your order’s weight qualifies. It speeds up delivery, not printing.

To prolong the lifespan of your Conquering Barbell apparel we recommend the following care process.

  • Launder/wash cold with like colors
  • Wash inside out
  • Tumble dry low, or hang dry
  • If desired, steaming can be utilized to remove wrinkles; do not iron.

In their words

  • “Fits the big boys.”

    Really comfortable shirt for the big boys. I got the 3XL (I currently weight 305lbs standing at 6'1") and it fits perfectly. A little breathing room so on and so forth and it hangs lower than your normal tee. If you're about my size and want a tighter fit I would recommend the 2XL. Definitely recommend Conquering Barbell and will be back to purchase more.

  • “The perfect pump cover.”

    The relaxed fit one I got recently is the perfect pump cover/extra layer for me. In Alaska the gym can feel cool at times and I hate being cold when I train. Mississippi boy. I just order 3 more. CB versus erbody

    Rich M.Anchorage, AK

  • “Exceeded Expectations!”

    Just received my order (3 flags & 2 tee shirts) & was genuinely surprised at how good the quality is. The flags themselves feel high quality, the black background is dark and the material feels substantial. The image on the flags is vivid & sharp with no “bleed over” at the edges of the image. The tee shirts again feel substantial. The images are sharp and vivid with a thickness to them that feels like the print will last. I ordered size L in the oversized tee’s and wasn’t sure how over sized they would be. I was pleasantly surprised that for my build they actually fit comfortably snug in the chest / back / arms & trim in the waist. (For context 5’9, 195)

    All in all, the quality exceeded what I was expecting & I will absolutely be ordering again soon. . Also & important to me, Audie (the owner) was extremely responsive in answering my emails even at evening hours. Great purchase for me.

  • “Quality Product.”

    Excellent communication from the seller, the product shipped really quickly and were perfect. You can tell they take their time making the shirts because the logos were centered and exactly as pictured. Will be a great addition to anyone’s gym fit.

  • “I love every single one of them.”

    I want to start by saying that Audie is awesome with great customer service. I love the quality of the prints and the shirts. I’ve purchased literally a total 35 t-shirts and 1 hoodie from Conquering Barbell (multiple separate orders), and I love every single one of them, no issues whatsoever. People don’t understand that as a 1-man operation taking care of everything it may take a little longer than usual, but definitely the wait is worth it. Love your brand and it’s definitely my #1 choice when buying t-shirts inspired by powerlifting. For sure WILL continue supporting this brand 🔥

  • “Shirt fits perfect.”

    Amazing service, shirt fits perfect. Good shirt to work out in doesn’t give at all. Stays form fitting.

  • “Great flags.”

    Great flags that give my garage gym a cool atmosphere. High quality shirts that are comfy and look great

    Chip

  • “Shirt came and was perfect.”

    Emailed them with questions. Audie got back to me asap. He answered all my questions and let me pick a different color that he didn’t have listed. Super appreciative of the customer service. Shirt came and was perfect. Can’t wait to wear it at the gym! High quality everything with this company!

    Michael S.

  • “Best fitting shirts.”

    I ain’t gonna lie I have so many shirts in my closet I need to give stuff away to make room for more. But this brand makes the best fitting shirts I have bought ever! Great quality too. If you like the tight fit around the arms it’s the best and makes my shoulders look wider. Wear it to the gym or wherever. I’m a size large but I got my shirts in XL and it’s just right. And they have a huge selection Worth the wait
