Your Halloween present: 70’s Big t-shirts
I was in tenth grade the first time it happened. I un-racked the bar on my front deltoids with my elbows high. I stepped back a few feet, got my stance set, and squatted down. I heard a very peculiar ripping sound, and then a quasi-delightful breeze tickled my butt crack. It took a minute or two to realize that I had blown out the back of my boxers front squatting. That was the first time my ass became too big for the clothes I was wearing.
Fast forward until a few months ago. We were in Salt Lake City to work a barbell seminar and I squatted down to pet a sweet ol’ chocolate lab at the gym and…
Squatting + 70’s Big = Jean Rippage
Right when it happened I was shocked. The jeans made a cartoon-like ripping noise and I just looked up and said, “70’s Big”.
I tell ya, folks, nobody said 70’s Big was gonna be easy. I’ve ruined several pairs of boxer briefs — blowing out the butt crack just like tenth grade. I’ve ripped the seams on numerous spandex compression shorts. I’m outgrowing the athletic shorts that I bought for when I was outgrowing my old athletic shorts. I had to move up a t-shirt size. None of my pairs of non-ripped jeans really fit, specifically in the butt and crotch region (zing!). And I was already 195 when I fit into these clothes!
It’s a badge of honor to accidentally (key word here) rip through old clothing. How many seams have you busted today?
