Lifting Clothing

Shop Lifting Clothing at Myprotein

Lifting clothing needs to do more than just look the part. Whether you're pulling deadlifts, grinding through squats, or working overhead, the gear you wear has to move with you, stay in place, and hold up session after session. That's exactly what this collection is built around.

From fitted stringers and training tees to shape seamless leggings and lifting-ready shorts, the range covers everything you need on the platform or in the rack. Purpose-built weightlifting apparel designed for the specific demands of strength training — not just generic gym kit.

Who This Collection Is For

This is lifting gear for people who take their training seriously. If you're squatting, deadlifting, pressing, or hitting Olympic lifts, you need clothing that won't bunch, ride up, or restrict your range of motion when it matters most. These pieces are made for that.

It's also a solid choice for anyone transitioning from general gym training into more structured weightlifting. The fit, feel, and fabric choices across this collection work just as well for functional fitness, CrossFit-style sessions, and circuit training — anywhere that demands freedom of movement and durability in equal measure.

When to Wear Lifting Clothing

Strength sessions are the obvious home for this kit. The close-cut designs and structured fabrics stay put during heavy compound lifts, and there's nothing flapping around to get in the way when you're focused on form. Stringers and training tanks are particularly well-suited to sessions where you want maximum freedom at the shoulder.

Beyond the barbell, this weightlifting clothing transitions easily into functional training, HIIT, and conditioning work. The seamless pieces in particular — the Shape Seamless leggings, shorts, and crop tops — work hard across a broad range of movement patterns, making them a go-to whether it's a heavy lower-body day or a metabolic finisher.

Key Features

Built for Range of Motion

Every cut in this collection is designed around how the body actually moves during lifting. Dropped arm holes on stringers give you the shoulder freedom you need for overhead work. Stretchy, four-way fabrics on shorts and leggings mean you can squat deep without the fabric pulling or restricting.

Fabrics That Stay Put

There's nothing worse than constantly adjusting your kit mid-set. The lifting clothing here uses structured waistbands, flat seam construction, and close-fit silhouettes that stay exactly where you put them — whether you're mid-rep or transitioning between exercises.

Moisture Management

Sweat is part of the job. The fabrics across this range are designed to wick moisture away from the skin, so you stay dry and comfortable through long training sessions without the distraction of heavy, clinging material.

Built to Last

Lifting clothing takes a beating — from the bar, from the bench, from high-rep sessions that push fabric to its limits. The materials and construction across this collection are chosen to hold their shape and structure wash after wash, so your kit looks and feels the same months down the line.

FAQs

What is the best weightlifting apparel for heavy lifting sessions?

For heavy compound lifting, you want close-fitting pieces that won't interfere with your movement or get caught on equipment. Fitted training shorts or seamless leggings work well for lower body days, while a stringer or training tank gives you the shoulder freedom that overhead pressing and snatching demand. The MP Men's Origin Washed Graphic Stringer is a strong option here — the dropped arm cut is specifically designed to give you that unobstructed range of motion at the shoulder.

What lifting gear is available for women?

There's a strong selection of women's lifting clothing in this range, including the Shape Seamless Leggings, Cycling Shorts, Sports Bra, and Long Sleeve Crop Top, as well as the Tempo Leggings and Tempo Vest. The seamless pieces are built with a sculpted fit that moves with you through squats, deadlifts, and everything in between — without bunching or shifting during heavy sets.

How do I choose the right size in lifting clothing?

Each product has its own size guide, and it's worth checking those measurements against your own before ordering. As a general rule, lifting clothing is designed with an athletic, close fit — so if you're between sizes and prefer a little more room to move, sizing up is a reasonable call. For seamless pieces in particular, a snug fit is intentional and tends to feel more comfortable once the fabric warms up.

Who designs the lifting clothing at Myprotein?

All the lifting clothing is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. That means every decision — from the fabric choice to the cut — is made with a clear understanding of what athletes actually need from their training kit.

How should I care for my lifting clothing to keep it in good condition?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible — especially for seamless and elasticated pieces. High heat is the enemy of stretch fabrics, so air drying is the better option. Avoid fabric softeners, which can break down moisture-wicking properties over time.

Is this weightlifting clothing suitable for other types of training?

Absolutely. While the collection is built with lifting in mind, the fabrics and cuts work just as well for functional fitness, HIIT, CrossFit-style training, and general gym sessions. The seamless range in particular is versatile enough to handle a wide range of movement-heavy workouts beyond the barbell.

What's the difference between the 2-in-1 training shorts and the lightweight training shorts?

The 2-in-1 shorts feature an inner compression layer that feels secure and locked in during dynamic movements, making them a good choice for sessions that mix lifting with conditioning work. The lightweight shorts are a more open, relaxed option — better suited to focused strength sessions where breathability and freedom of movement are the priority.

Does Myprotein offer lifting clothing for both gym and everyday wear?

The training pieces in this collection are designed primarily for performance in the gym. That said, the joggers, tees, and more relaxed cuts cross over naturally into everyday wear — the kind of kit that works as hard on rest days as it does on training days.
