    Not a stupid question at all. You have many different types. Some are denum, some are poly, and then you have others that are some other type of fabric. I have mostly poly right now and a Titan that I cannot remember what the fabric is. I tried denum but it put too much pressure on my shoulder joint and I blew out the chest 2x on it.

    Not itchy but they do get uncomfortable, especially when they are super tight. You will end up with a bunch of raspberries all over your shoulders, chest, arms, and back.

    it is hard to really describe the feeling.

    Tkinking about giving it a try?

      I'm actually going for compression (power out of the hole would be secondary). I was reading up on the fabrics used and was pretty amazed at the differences:

          GFH of course (and performance / recovery/ comfort)

          Considering SKINS

            General Feelings:
            Stomahc issues were back this weekend and today, had another bout with gluten. A good friend of mine bought me a gluten free sandwich so I ate it and then decided to look into what the grain was and sure enough, the store labeled it wrong. So needless to say I was a little pissed and will be paying that deli a visit to get them to change their info.

            Other then the gluten I am feeling pretty good. Been having some pretty weird and intense dreams the past few nights again, some of them are really good and one was pretty trippy.

            Workout:
            A little change up in the workout. I decided to do DE day today as UPSLabs is holding a contest for repping 185. Depending on the amount of reps you do you get a certain amount of free supplements so what the heck. The 45 felt really good but I wanted to get a complete workout in and not be to fried from the high number of reps so that is where I stopped. Got a really good pump out of it.
            The reps did effect the rest of my tricep workout but that was ok. Decided to do some rev grip bench and it felt really good as did the rest of my workout.


            Conditioning:
            5 sets of cable sprints at 30 seconds each with 50lbs of resistance.

            Videos:
            Here are the videos I did of my workout, nothing impressive.

            185 for reps:

              Diet:
              Low Carb

              General Feelings:
              Feeling better, still having some stomach issues and weird sleep patterns. I do have a lot that is happening right now with the possibility of a new job, taking on a second job at the gym for a free membership, and school starting back up. Also have been debating about a career change that would require even more schooling and even possibly having to sell my house and relocate my family. However the career change is only a remote possibility right now and will likely not take place anytime soon.


              Workout:
              Workout was really good, been working the past couple of weeks on the middle portion of the lift for cleans and snatch. This is where I lose most of my strength when I do the full range. Despite the poor sleep and other distractions the whole workout was very energetic and really focused on explosion.

              Conditioning:
              DB Swing 70x10x3

                General Feelings:
                Feeling a little drained today for some reason. I skipped Wednesday’s workout due to fatigue and more stomach issues and there is nothing worse than legs on a bad stomach! The rest of the day I felt decent and stomach calmed down after some food. I am switching my preworkout meal up some and will be taking 1 tbls. of pumpkin seed oil with my preworkout shake.

                Workout:
                Was surprised a little on my performance of the 3 boards with the fatigue still form the rep bench on Monday, the 455 felt a little unstable but strength wise is was not too bad and I am sure I could have gone up at least 15-20 lbs. Took it easy the rest of the workout for recovery purposes. Was not disappointed at all with the workout and left feeling really good about it.

                Conditioning:
                None

                  General Feelings:
                  Woke pretty tired this morning but picked up energy pretty quickly. Forgot to take my daily stomach medicine so my stomach issues were worse than normal, I think all the issues I have been experiencing is due to my medication so I need to make (and am in the process) some changes. I am looking at a natural way to treat my GERD and some of the effects I experience from time to time with my Celiac’s disease.

                  Workout:
                  Decided to do some conventional deadlifts today, which has been a long time since the last time I have done them. They felt really good and I was surprised at what I was able to do. All the weights actually felt good and went up nicely. Thought about doing 455 but decided to call it good at what I had accomplished.

                  The rest of the workout went great and for it being a heavy day for back I got some nice pumps form the workout.

                  Conditioning:
                  None, had a friend come up and talk to me and would not let me get to doing the power runner.

                          Workout:
                          Was surprised a little on my performance of the 2 boards, felt really good and possibly could have gone heavier. It was nice to see some progress on the decline and see numbers go up.

                          Conditioning:
                          Cable sprints

                            Workout started off really crappy, no motivation or explosion in the exercises. However I did get a second wind towards the middle so it got much better.

                              Got a wild hair up my butt and decided to do something different. So I did some posterior work mostly and then finished off with the power runner.

                                General Feelings:
                                Felling a little better, still pretty stressed but the extra sleep helped.

                                Workout:
                                Numbers were down for both flat and incline DB bench. Things picked up after when I got some energy.

                                5 sets of cable sprints at 30 seconds each with 50lbs of resistance.
