Picture 2 – T-shirt

1. While performing the exercise, the athlete must wear a T-shirt (half-sleeve) under his tights. For deadlifting, a T-shirt is optional for both men and women, but women should wear a sports top. Women can also wear a top or bra under a T-shirt, as long as it does not provide additional support. You can only wear one T-shirt at a time.

 2.   The T-shirt must meet the following requirements:

— the T-shirt should only be made of cotton and/or polyester. It is prohibited to use T-shirts consisting of any rubberized stretch material, denim and tarpaulin are also prohibited; 

— the T-shirt must not have pockets, buttons, fasteners, zippers, collars or V-necks;

— should not have reinforced seams, inserts of supporting materials, or foreign elements sewn into it; 

— should not have sleeves that end below the elbow or on top of the deltoid muscle. During a performance, the athlete should not pull up or roll up the sleeves of his T-shirt above the deltoid muscle; 

— the T-shirt may bear a distinctive sign, emblem, coat of arms and (or) the name of the participant’s country, national federation (association) or sponsor, the participant’s first and last name. It can also be the official jersey of the competition in which the athlete competes;

— the T-shirt must fit loosely on the athlete to ensure that it does not provide him with any physical support.
