Erector Shirts

[DanCling]

I was snoopin around inzernet.com today and realized i don't know what an erector shirt is. Are they considered assistance gear in competition? What are some advantages/disadvantages of training in them?

I'm hopin to be competitive at powerliftin meets by the end of summer and anything that can help with my squat (my weakest lift) is something I'm interested in.

Thanks.

from my own snooping around here and thier website i believe that the shirt acts as bigger and stronger erector muscles to aid your back - from your lower back up to your mid to high back i believe. and im almost def sure it is considered gear - as far as your weak point im not sure what your routine looks like but good mornings and regualr back hypers will definately help increase your lower back strength
