some guy at the gym was telling me to wear t-shirts for low bar squats cuz less slip when u have chalk on there as opposed to a tank/shirtless, any validity to this?

no

Wood squat shurtless no matter what bar if i cood

What does a shirt have to do with lifting unless it's too tight?

well of course your back is a more slippery bare and sweaty than with a shirt on, but if you're having problems with the bar sliding off your form is probably bad to begin with

you better wear that t shirt bro don't want that 225 slipping off your back

that's what i do right now, but the bar just feels like it wants to slip off



the knurling of the bars at my gym are very very worn, I think it might grip the cotton better



bar hasn't slid off, wrists just getting sore from holding the bar so tight cuz it feels like it's gonna slip off

I think he was just trying to get you to put your shirt back on

Lol maybe, I'll give it a go and see if it helps at all

I wear a t shirt every day now

I'm a sweaty mother fucker and would not squat with a tank top
