Resilient Bear - Tee

不屈 (fukutsu): unbending, unbroken, the will that refuses to quit. The Resilient Bear tee from Conquering Barbell features a roaring grizzly wearing a red oni mask tilted on its head, wrapped in blue cord and cherry blossoms, with the battle-axe shield hanging from its chain and the kanji 不屈 beside it, printed big across the back with our CONQUERING BARBELL wordmark on the chest.

Made on a 60/40 cotton/polyester blend for the right balance of softness and structure. Pre-shrunk and lightweight so it holds up through hard training and looks sharp long after the session is over.

  • 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend, soft feel with lasting shape
  • Moisture-wicking and lightweight for high-intensity training
  • Pre-shrunk fabric for a consistent fit after every wash
  • Classic unisex crew neck and short-sleeve cut
  • Large 12" back graphic in a vintage halftone, 6" CONQUERING BARBELL wordmark on the center chest
  • Printed to order in-house in Tennessee
  • Available in Black and Espresso

Every order is printed after you place it. Tees, tanks and hoodies ship in 7–10 business days (after the payment clears). Flags ship in 10–14 business days (after the payment clears). 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.

    “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

    THE BEST brand on the market hands down. Walks the walk and talks the talk. Amazing art work and design too. Fits perfectly and just like the guy above saying they abuse the shirts in the gym, same lol.

A little help with the fit

Find your fit. Then chase the PR.

Like it snug on the arms? Room to breathe under the bar? Start with a shirt you already love.

  1. 1

    Lay your favorite shirt flat.

    Measure straight across, armpit to armpit. That's the chest width.

  2. 2

    Check the length.

    Measure from the back collar seam straight down to the bottom hem.

  3. 3

    Match it to ours.

    Compare with our garment measurements, or let Find my size do the math.

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.

    Stephen G.Pen Argyl, PA

  • “Print quality is excellent.”

    Friggin awesome tee. The cotton-poly blend makes for the perfect fit and comfort. And the print quality is excellent. I will buy more tees soon.

    Roman V.Lubbock, TX

  • “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

    Azad K.

  • “Amazing company!”

    One of the most reputable and solid companies around. Always willing to go above and beyond to deliver quality items. Highly recommend!

    Anthony P.

  • “Best shirts ever.”

    Best shirts ever and super fast shipping!!! And the customer service is outstanding. 10/10 would recommend.

    Autumn W.

  • “The quality has been amazing!”

    I've bought multiple shirts on many occasions and the quality has been amazing! Would purchase from again

    John

  • “The products are excellent.”

    I never buy from the USA but I will buy from this company. The products are excellent, designs last foreverrrr & don’t seem to crack, and the owner is a stand up guy. Will definitely buy from them again.

    Tiana W.Canada

  • “One of the best clothing brands out there.”

    One of the best clothing brands out there. From the design to the fit it’s the only way to go!

    Colton S.

  • “For the Lifter, By the Lifter.”

    Absolutely blown away by Conquering Barbell. The three shirts I ordered are the highest quality tees I’ve ever owned—super comfortable, great fit, and they feel built to last. The printing is hands-down the best I’ve ever seen: crisp, bold, and perfectly done with zero cheap “crack and peel” vibes. On top of that, shipping was fast and everything showed up exactly as expected.

    What really sets the brand apart is that it’s for lifters, by lifters. You can tell it’s built by people who actually train. The owner, Audie, personally thanked me when he saw me training in the shirts during my powerlifting meet prep, even shared me to his story and wished me luck. That kind of genuine support and engagement is rare and speaks volumes about the culture behind the brand.

    I’ll 100% be ordering more.

One-man operation

Designed, printed and packed by a lifter.

I’m Audie. I compete in powerlifting, and I’ve run Conquering Barbell out of Tennessee since 2013. I design it, print it and ship it. Every shirt is printed in-house after you order. No print farm, no middlemen. If something’s wrong with your order, you’re emailing the guy who made it.

The bar bends. You don’t.
