Which is a requirement for supportive shirts?

• A. It must cover the whole of the deltoid area
• B. It may be sleeveless
• C. It can be made of rubber
• D. It may be worn without sleeves

Answer: (A)

Supportive shirts are used in equipped bench pressing and must provide full coverage over the shoulder area. Covering the whole deltoid region ensures consistent support, safety, and fairness in how the shirt functions during the lift. If the shirt were sleeveless or made of rubber, or worn without sleeves, it would not meet this requirement and would be non-compliant. Therefore, the essential rule is that the shirt must cover the entire deltoid area.
