What is a Singlet?
A singlet is a one-piece garment commonly worn by athletes in sports like wrestling, powerlifting, and weightlifting. A singlet provides a snug fit, allowing for a full range of motion while ensuring that the athlete’s movements are not restricted. Singlets are designed to be both functional and comfortable, featuring materials that wick away sweat and provide durability for intense physical activities.
Benefits of Using a Weightlifting Singlet
1) Enhanced Performance: The snug fit and flexibility of the singlet allow for optimal movement, reducing the risk of injury and improving performance.
2) Confidence Boost: Wearing a singlet that fits well and looks good can boost your confidence, helping you focus and perform better.
3) Competition Approval: For anyone competing in weightlifting or powerlifting meets, a singlet is often a requirement. The Gymreapers Singlet is approved by the IPF, IPL, USAPL, and USPA for training and competition.
How to Choose the Right Size
Choosing the right size for your Weightlifting Singlet is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. Here’s a quick guide:
1) Measure Your Chest and Waist: Use a measuring tape to find your chest and waist measurements. Compare these to the sizing chart provided on the product page.
2) Consider Your Height and Weight: Your overall body size can influence the fit of the singlet. Make sure to factor in your height and weight when selecting a size.
3) Look for a Snug Fit: The singlet should fit snugly against your body without being too tight. It should allow for a full range of motion without any excess fabric bunching up.
How To Wear A Powerlifting Singlet
According to the rules set by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), there are certain elements of a singlet that have to be met to be worn in a competition. Before purchasing and wearing a singlet, you should follow these next rules:
1) The most important features are that a singlet must fit tightly, the shoulder straps must stay on your shoulders at all times, the fabric must have the same thickness throughout its entirety, and the singlet legs have to be longer than 3cm but shorter than 25cm.
2) You must wear a singlet that is approved by the IPF and/or USAPL. In raw events, the fabric cannot support any part of the execution of a lift. In equipped competitions, the singlet (referred to as a squat suit) provides more support while lifting.
What To Wear Under A Singlet
For powerlifting competitions, you have to wear a T-shirt underneath your singlet. You should pick one or two shirts that are blank or are part of the approved company list. You can wear briefs underneath your singlet. Women are allowed to wear a sports bra underneath their t-shirts.
How To Put On A Powerlifting Singlet
Before slipping on your singlet, the first thing you should do is tuck your t-shirt into your briefs. It’ll be more difficult to tuck once your powerlifting singlet is on. It might also be helpful to grab gloves with grip control so that they can help you pull up the singlet material more easily.
Next, make sure the logo on the singlet is facing forward, and then simply slip it on one leg at a time. It may be difficult to initially slip it on, so take your time or recruit help to ensure a snug and proper fit all the way through. You cannot have any creases or folds in your singlet.
How to Wash a Singlet
To ensure the longevity of your Gymreapers Weightlifting Singlet, follow these care instructions:
1) Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents.
2) Air Dry: Hang your singlet to dry instead of using a dryer to prevent shrinking and fabric damage.
3) Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the material over time.
