A support shirt including a shirt body and a pair of shirt body sleeves positioned adjacent to an upper shirt body is provided. The sleeves are attached to the shirt body at sleeve body holes, with each of the sleeves including sleeve reinforcement regions extending at least a portion of the distance from the sleeve holes to an outer edge of the sleeves. The sleeve reinforcement regions extend substantially along a centerline extending longitudinally across the sleeves and the upper sleeve body to stabilize and provide support to the shoulders of a wearer during an upward lifting motion.

A restricting portion is located between rear surfaces of left and right sleeves and prevents left and right shoulder blades of a wearer from moving apart from each other. A first seam point, which is the lowest point on a seam between a front surface of the left sleeve and a front body, is positioned above a first bottom point, which is the lowest point on a seam between the rear surface of the left sleeve and the rear body. A second seam point, which is the lowest point on a seam between a front surface of the right sleeve and the front body, is positioned above a second bottom point, which is the lowest point on a seam between the rear surface of the right sleeve and the rear body.

A weight lifting support shirt comprises a chest support portion (CSP), a first arm support portion (FASP), a second arm support portion (SASP), a neck relief portion (NRP), a torso support portion (TSP), a first lateral extension (FLE), and a second lateral extension (SLE). The CSP extends across a chest portion of lifter from a first end to a second end of CSP. The FASP extends from first end of CSP, and SASP extends from second end of CSP. The NRP is attached to an upper boundary of CSP. The NRP connects FASP to SASP. The TSP is in communication with and extends below CSP. FLE extends from FASP and a first lateral side of TSP. SLE extends from SASP and a second lateral side of TSP. The FLE wraps around a first shoulder and a back of lifter and SLE wraps around a second shoulder and back of lifter.

Provided is a travel head support garment comprising a torso covering configured to cover at least a portion of a wearer's torso, in use, and having a head engager configured to selectively engage a wearer's head. Further included are at least one strap connected to the head engager and running down the wearer's torso, and a seating pad fastened with the strap and deployable between a storage position, in which the seating pad is stored within the torso covering, and a deployed position, in which the seating pad extends below the wearer's torso so that a wearer is able to sit on the seating pad so that the weight of the wearer on the seating pad supports the wearer's head via the strap 22, against gravity to alleviate loading of at least one muscle in the wearer's neck to unobtrusively support the wearer's head without conscious effort by the wearer.
