Product Description

Developed by powerlifting legend Donnie Thompson and Spud Inc., the Formal Bowtie is a simple but effective accessory for helping athletes train and maintain superior posture. In a time when the average person spends much of their day working at a computer, looking at a cell phone, or stuck driving in traffic, the problem of slouching—and the shoulder pain that comes with it—is all too common. The Bowtie attacks this issue by applying firm compression to the pectoral tendons and reducing strain on the muscles behind the shoulders. When worn during warm-ups or as you move through your squats, bench, deadlifts, etc., the Formal Bowtie not only helps limit some of these aches and pains, but also trains more consistent form. Along the way, your muscle memory is rewired, as the brain encourages better posture in your day-to-day life.

Donnie Thompson Formal Bowtie

Developed by powerlifting legend Donnie Thompson and Spud Inc., the Formal Bowtie is a simple but effective accessory for helping athletes train and maintain superior posture. In a time when the average person spends much of their day working at a computer, looking at a cell phone, or stuck driving in traffic, the problem of slouching—and the shoulder pain that comes with it—is all too common. The Bowtie attacks this issue by applying firm compression to the pectoral tendons and reducing strain on the muscles behind the shoulders.

Along the way, your muscle memory is rewired, as the brain encourages better posture in your day-to-day life.

The Thompson Formal Bowtie is designed specifically for serious athletes, and is made from a heavier, stiffer webbing material than the Casual Bowtie (which can be worn throughout the day over longer periods). Available in a wide range of sizes, the Formal Bowtie can have a noticeable effect on reducing common shoulder pain and pec tightness, while also reducing the risk of more serious injuries down the road.

Bowtie
Not sure I purchased the right size, according to the sizing chart I ordered correctly: however, I feel I should have sized down.

Decent product
It does pull back the shoulders ... that i like ... a lot! But it does also cause some discomfort to my underarm area ... it's rough on the skin there even through the arm material of a shirt

Cuts off shoulder circulation the way it presses on the armpit. Totally useless, a complete waste of time.

Bowtie
Never experienced anything like this before. I have a new appreciation for a proper "bracing" of my back and spine for my lifting and barbell curls. This was a great buy.

Great support for hyper mobile shoulders!
I’ve had this formal bow tie for about 2 weeks and so far it’s been very helpful. I have hyper mobile shoulders (my shoulders dislocate while doing bicep curls) and this bow tie really helps my posture and form helping keep my shoulders in place. So far I’ve used it many different exercises and found it helpful for not only upper body workouts but lower as well. I’m 5’6” (167 cm) and about 160 (72 kg) I would say I have medium to broad shoulders for my height. I bought the M or medium size and the size is perfect. It’s tight enough to keep everything in place and just loose enough to keep the circulation flowing. I’ve got to reach for the overhead back loop to take it off. I like the fabric I went with the formal because I’m hard on clothes and stuff and the black one looks a little cheap. I like the fabric of the formal it’s tough and it looks like it won’t get sprung or overstretched. Great product!

Tight Bow Tie!
This thing will work as advertised. Its tight enough to cut off the circulation to your hands, but certainly pulls your shoulders back as designed.
