Gym Gifts for Men Who Lift (and Have Opinions About Your Form)

What is a good gift for the guy who never re-racks his weights?

What is a gym gift for a woman who lifts?
Lift Heavy. Reply Later. It works for the friend who answers texts after her last set and not before.
“Lift Heavy. Reply Later.”
LIFT HEAVY. is lettered above a 1960s lifter mid-deadlift who is ignoring a ringing rotary phone, with Reply Later. below. It is a women's cropped hoodie for $44.99.
What makes a gym gift good instead of generic?
It jokes about something only a lifter knows. A line about programming, cardio or re-racking plates lands because he has said the same thing out loud. "No pain, no gain" does not.
Graphic Tees Co. gym designs are original art with the joke set in big type, so it reads from across the weight room. Nothing on them uses a supplement brand, gym chain or federation logo.
Are these performance shirts or graphic tees?
They are graphic tees, not moisture-wicking performance shirts. They are built for lifting days and rest days, and for the walk in and out.
The tees are a lightweight 4.2 oz unisex cut in cotton. The hoodies and crewnecks are fleece, 8 oz and 50% cotton, 50% polyester, and the oversized hoodie is a heavyweight cut.
Should you pick a tee or a hoodie for a gym gift?
A tee is the safe pick at $24.99. A hoodie at $39.99 is the better gift for a cold morning session or the drive home, and the oversized hoodie at $54.99 gives a looser, heavier fit.
