The Varsity Tee

Earn your letters under the bar. The Varsity Tee from Conquering Barbell is built for the lifter who treats strength like a sport and the platform like a home field. CONQUERING BARBELL stacks above a 100 lb iron plate center graphic in bold varsity lettering, flanked by distressed stripe details and EST. 2014 on either side. LIFTING CLUB unfurls across a banner below with CONQUER THE WEIGHTS beneath it, FORGED BY IRON and MADE IN USA flanking the CB shield at the base. The cream, red, and black palette gives it a classic athletic feel that holds up as well off the platform as it does on it.

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

    “Walks the walk.”

    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.

    “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

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.

  • “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.

    Barry N.

  • “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 🔥

    Carlos F.

  • “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

    Azad K.

  • “Very responsive CS, Excellent Quality”

    Customer service was very responsive and helpful! I received my order and the shirts are very good quality, with bright designs. I can’t wait to wear them to the gym and tell my friends where I got them! Thank you so much!!

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.
