The Spud Inc Bowtie Formal is designed for the athlete who is looking for some serious structural correction in their posture. Made from both heavier and stiffer material than the Spud Inc Casual Bowtie, the Formal Bowtie will pin your shoulders back into their correct position.
The shoulders cop a hard time during resistance training at nearly all levels. But serious athletes often experience muscular imbalances from sports specific training or accumulated injuries. This is compounded if you spend a lot of time driving a car or a desk, both can encourage poor posture.
So slipping on your Formal Bowtie for warming up, or even the whole workout, will get your body into the correct position for all types of exercises.

The Bowtie’s were developed by Donnie Thompson – a powerlifitng legend – so you can be assured that this product is no gimmick. As well as promoting correct posture in athletes who have been wounded in years of hard training, the elaticised webbing also acts like a compression garment across the pectoral muscles and bicep tendons.
You might be thinking that this will be tough to get on and off, like other compression garments. You will note the nylon webbing loops on both the front and back. These give you something solid to yank on when slipping in or out of your bowtie.
