Hey Big Pete,

Thanks

Cotton/Lycra shirts? I go to the Jockey outlet and get them, real cheap.. Sometimes I get the Champion version from target, 2 for like $8.. I even have afew of the Under Armour stretch tees, not the Heat Gear but the basic tees at a sporting goods store for $19.. Mrs. Fox got me 2 of each color for Xmas..

I have to admitt when it comes to clothes I am clueless. But now I am getting some bulk on my old stand by polo shirts in XL make me look fat because of all the extra material around the waist of the shirt.

So you are talking about button down shirts or pullover type?

DAMN IT Big Pete help a brother out and give me a freaking link or picutre

Why anyone with any muscle would wear that skinny-boy crap (Abercrombie) is just sad.. All my shirts are large cotton/lycra, and the vintage cut button-ups at Old Navy not only taper to a small waist (hidden brag) but they're damn inexpensive and last really long!

Hey... I wear abercrombie

Shopping must suck for you.... even at my size i kinda have a hard time.

Vintage cut collared shirts!

Target doesn't have the C9 tees online, but if I remember I can snap a pic wearing one.. Those shirts at OldNavy taper in towards the waist, no over-hang when you tuck 'em..

[CROWLER]

Thanks man,

Yea I appreciate if ya snap a picg with ya wearing a shirt. Those naked ones ya keep emailing me are starting to freak me out.

Yea I said STARTING TO, so what??????????

OK I take that back. They are out of XL in every color. Maybe that is a sign I need to bulk some more HA HA

I just checked their size chart and according to it I should actually take an XXL and pretty darn close to an XXXL Hard to believe. Hey Big Pete what size do you get and does it hold true to their sizing chart?

It says 50" chest and 18" neck is XXL. I usually wear large and XL then again I usually just wear T shirts so maybe that is why.

You could always keep some extra igf for yourself, you know..

I get a large mainly because I like the shirt to fit close abit.. I've been thru my saggin' jeans/baggy sweatshirt phase when I was young, I'm done with that and I'm in better shape..

That is odd they make XXL to fit 50" chest/18" neck.. My neck is 18" but my chest is only 48.5", so XL might be my limit.. Yeah, I wear tees alot and me and the misses plan to move to a state where I can wear tees yearly!

Amen. I'm not sure when I bought clothes somewhere else besides Old Navy or Kohl's. But, I set behind a computer all day and no one cares what I look like.
I would spend more on clothes but it cuts into my supplement budget.

[revodrew]

I know what you mean about the shirts in XL being REALLY long. They also are so wide in the waist area you have to wrap yourself like a mummy and even then you look like you are fat even when you are not.

Off topic but thought I would add, I can get away with spending just $6 a day and that is with 450 grams of protein and a total of 4500 cals.

How so? Bobo diet = no money

I have a 52" chest and I ususally get my shirts from pacsun(XXL). Eddie Bauer usually has good choices for larger sizes and better cuts but the prices are so much more expensive. If you want something that is athletic cut for button down shirts JC Penny is usually a good pick. I hate shopping for clothes. It sucks for me cause I am really long waisted and I wear a XXL so I usually have to get them in talls. It sucks being big and on a budget sometimes.

You guys think you've got problems, imagine being a female who lifts and try to find clothes that fit. All the shirts have these skinny little arm holes made for stick women. If I can get my arms and shoulders to fit then it hangs on my torso like a tent! So I have to buy men's shirts sometimes. And pants? #$*&@% designers! Who was the brilliant designer who came up with the idea that all the pants should be low rise, but none of the shirts long enough to tuck in? Where is the logic in this when most of us don't want to see the average females gut hanging over the top of her low rise jeans!
And then there's the sizing. Womens sizing has no continuity or sense to it. When I was 115 pounds 25 years ago I wore a size 6 pants. I went shopping yesterday and wound up buying a size 4, and I weigh 151 pounds now. And it varies from label to label. Sonabitch. It makes it impossible to shop on line.
Arrrrggghhh! Now see, ya got me started....grumble....mutherf* ckers...kill em all...

I recieved a Gift certificate to American Eagle for christmas. The store had extra small shirts and no X Large. Xsmall shirts is A sure sign that the store caters to the Gay community...

Inspirational, USP..

couldn't agree anymore if you don't sell real XXL then get off of the market

Just want to toss in my thanks for all your input and this thread. I've been having this problem for some time now: buying shirts that fit perfectly up top but they pack so much extra fabric around the waist region of end up looking like I'm 9 months pregnant

Well I took up BigPete's advice and payed a visit to Old Navy today. Finally I have some XL shirts that fit my body well! I bought several shirts, some boxers, other ****, and my total cost was under $100! That's about the cost individual shirts I used to buy and they didn't fit me around the midsection near as well. I deffinately should have stumbled into this store earlier, could've been saving more money for more supps $$$
