Dave Tate expounding on sleeveless flannel shirts and matching one's footwear with their powerlifting status.
Sleeveless flannels:
1. The first problem stems from the cut of most flannels. The wrist buttons are impossible for bloated fingers to button. If you leave it undone then your sleeve keeps falling in your banana split causing calories that should be going in your mouth to be left on your clothes. There is just no way to get Yoked with calories on your sleeve.

Yes, you can suck it off the shirt as many choose to do. This is why you see unstitched edges on the shirts of many big men. Your other option is to roll the sleeves up. While this is doable the problem with this comes from memory. You have to do this before you put the shirt on because there is no way a bloated wrist and turn under the back part of the sleeve. Now if you do remember the memory process does not end there. You also need to know how many rolls to fold. Is it 1 or 3? Who the hell knows? It can be different with every shirt and who has the time to make a granamals chart for all this?

All and all you just say screw it and cut the damn sleeves off.

2. For most bloated bastards the only half way lean muscles they have are guns and calves. So the goal here is to keep people from noticing how huge your belly really is. The guns are not really to show off but to take the focus away from what you don't want them to see....

4. You can't wear sleeves in a meet and we all know you need to train like you compete.

Shoes:
...Class 3 - You are still not YOKED but think you are. This group will wear things like Nike Frees and Low Cut Chucks. I don't know what to say about this group except....

whatever...

Class 1 - Now yo have some YOKE on and are getting used to it but you feet are also feeling the Jack as well.

This is time to really look into wider shoes and NEVER EVER tie the damn things ups. You have to pull the lace holes as far apart as you can and spread the laces out as far as maximumly possible. The trick here is to tie a small knot at the end of each lace so it does not pop through the hole. Done right with there will be no slack and nothing to tuck under. If you feel the need or have to tuck the lace under then you are NOT class one. Move back down to class two. Any wide base shoe works here but Nike and Adidas will be brands of the past.

Master - At this point you are so DONE with shoes. You can find sh!t to fit and everything hurts you feet by the end of the day. You are now Super Yoked and every step has extreme force on your feet. This is when you have to give in to the Velcro Walking Shoe. Big UPS for you! Congrats! Very few ever get to reach this pinnacle.

Elite - This is the cream of the crop. It gets no better then this. You have one option, Sandles. I would suggest any style that does NOT have the twig ass thing that rams between you big toe and whatever they call the next one. Look, you know as well as I do there is some funk jamed up in there that has been there since Class one. If you use this "toe floss" it will unveil an order like you have never smelled before so lets just leave that sh!t alone.
