Not all grip shirts are built alike. Evolution Athletics' grip shirt has full front grip both inside and outside of the material, upper back grip, again both inside and outside with the addition of grip down the shoulder/sleeve. Made of high-quality cotton to minimize stretch under the heaviest of loads. Grip shirts are intended to be worn snug and we recommend sizing down one size from your normal shirt size.

Used this grip shirt in my first strongman comp and loved it, got a size xs initially and it was a little too tight had an easy exchange process to get a S and it made it here in time for show day. Held up great was comfortable and has grip all the way around the sleeve which some shirts don’t. Overall great experience
This grip shirt is 5/5 for what was needed! Service was exceptional! The order came quickly and a personal touch that was added was very appreciated. I was sad there was an additional charge but understand completely that was out of everyone’s control. I was happy I was forewarned about it though.
Where was this shirt at in the 80's? I am 67yrs old and doing some squats today. I have been doing the power lifts for 45 yrs and have no regrets. Loved seeing you compete at the Arnold and the Shaw Classic. You are a beast! Have a good one! Pete
The interior grip feature is a huge game changer especially when it’s hot/humid out. Highly recommend this for your double overhand work!
Excellent quality. The grip is amazing (both inside and out). Sizing was spot on by ordering one size smaller. I could even consider two sizes smaller for a super snug fit but the inner grip holds it in place without sacrificing comfort.
Bought the grip shirt to compete in America's Strongest Teen 2024 held in Sacramento. I'm new to strongman but this shirt helped in every event except the deadlift for obvious reasons. I ended up taking second overall for the girls 15U division. Thank you so much Shaw family!
Grip shirt is amazing, probably the most beneficial piece of equipment I have when it comes to improving performance!
I love the grip shirt. Probably one of the best pieces I own, but I feel like I need 2 sizes. It can be too tight for some events but just right for others. I'll likely buy a L when I can and switch between that and the M I purchased.
Shit is perfect. Shipped to Hawaii no problem-got it in 3.5 days. Pretty stoked. Customer service was perfect and timely. Also came with a picture of the legend himself. 💪
This is a top notch grip shirt!
Excellent fit. You can tell that this was made by a man that has spent his entire life trying to find clothes that are long enough but with a fit that actually makes you look good. The price is amazing for a piece of technical gear and I will absolutely continue purchasing this brand in the future.
Good shirt fits great size down 1 size shipping great thanks .
This shirt is amazing for stones. Its thick and doesn’t stretch so you dont have to worry about it pulling away from you body. I usually wear a size XL for my shirts, they are form fitting, and the L EVO fits perfect! Noce and tight but not restrictive. I am 6’ tall and 280lbs.
As a powerlifter, to better my bench press, grip that bench better than chalk less mess. GO ON BE GREAT(ER).
I have a strongman competition in a few weeks and I just came off of a difficult Highland Games Season so I was looking at other sites and remembered Shaw Strength had strongman gear. Have been a huge fan of Brian Shaw for years and was glad to purchase from him. He obviously knows what works! I compete in Highland Games and just went to the LW World Championships but I’m planning on running a full marathon, LW Worlds and LW Strongman Nationals in 2026. Not as good at Strongman as I am at Highland Games and I need all the help I can get. Brian Shaw is top notch and so are his products!
Had the old grip top and was allot more solid compared to this one. This is a great too but stretchier than before for some reason.
I have never had a bad experience ordering from Shaw Strength or Evolution Athletics! Love the company! Love the products!
Was not expecting much once received. The Small was too big because it was for a man. My Strongman Corp grip shirt is a Small and fits tight. Also it didn't feel as tacky as my other one. HOWEVER, what a surprise. Once the log hit the shirt it stuck so fast the plates were still spinning on the ends! I could feel the inside grippers on the back working as the log wanted to pull down the shirt, it did not go down! Was so happy with the performance of this shirt. Works for sandbags, too. Just wish they had true women's sizes. Get one, you will not be disappointed!
Shipping was super fast as always. Used for the first time in a comp during a log press for reps event and it was amazing how much easier it made the log clean. Unfortunately I didn't get to use it on the stones because of injury but my buddy wore it during his stone run and said it was noticeably better.
I bought this for my boyfriend, because he does strongman workouts and mentioned wanting a full torso grip shirt. He wore it to lift concrete Atlas stones, and said he loves it! He usually wears an XL, so that's what I bought him, and it fits perfectly. He said it works a lot better than what he expected, and he's going to use it for all his strongman workouts.
Great solid grip on things like log and yoke!
This shirt is on a different level than others, training log and it helps the clean soo much feels like it sticks to your chest even with heavy weight! I have lots of evolution athletics products and there isn’t much competition for them, really quality made stuff!!
It does exactly what it’s intended to do, as well it’s helped reduce bruising on my chest from axel clean which is wonderful
I got this grip shirt for my wife in her first strongman competition, and she loved how it fit and the extra performance it gave her during the competition. It was raining all day at the comp and the grip shirt performed great even wet. Great job!
I wear a 2XL shirt and the XL grip shirt is an excellent fit and a perfect grip. Very happy with the shirt and happier to give back to Brian Shaw.
This is an amazing shirt for events. You know why we use them, this one fits well, holds back the sweat particularly well to keep from slipping and honestly looks pretty good as well. A lot of thought went into this shirt and I appreciate it. I may need a second one as well.
I have had multiple grip shirts from other brands and this blows them out of the water. The inside grip is a game changer and keeps the shirt itself from sliding or stretching when under a heavy log. By far the best grip shirt around. So good I bought a second one just for stones.
I love this shirt. It's strong and durable, plus the grip inside the shirt helps a lot too.
I started training log recently. The clean of my log has been a work in progress to say the least. EA grip shirt has helped improve my log tenfold. The grip inside and outside of the shirt helps so much with positioning for the clean and press. Excited to use this for stones, axle press, and yoke in the future!
The quality and sizing of this grip shirt is perfect! From log to yoke to axle it has never failed me! Next chance i get those grip shorts will be mine as well!!
I was nervous about the sizing for this shirt and being able to have it tight enough to grip but loose enough to take on and off comfortably. It’s the best of both worlds since it has ample grips on the inside. I use it frequently for carry events, stones, and log. Still looks brand new and washes well.
