For Olympic weightlifting fans, buying apparel that expresses support for the US team and can also be worn for your own weightlifting is not a choice, it's a must. Luckily, there are plenty of great apparel options out there to show your Olympic weightlifting spirit.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Pickup a hoodie from the official apparel partner of the US Olympic Committee, XParrel. XP makes quality cotton hoodies that you can buy on its website Xparrel.com for reasonable prices.

  2. Step 2

    Go straight to the source by visiting USOlympicTeam.com or USOlympicShop.com where you'll find official US Olympic weightlifting hoodies, T-shirts and other gear. Check in to USOlympicTeam.com every so often and select the "Auctions" tab under the Shopping category to find gear used by the Olympians themselves.

  3. Step 3

    Find the real-deal weightlifting gear such as Adidas' Atenus weightlifting suit that was designed for Olympic weightlifters at the Athens Olympics. The suit runs close to $100, but the full body support it provides and the durability of its materials make it well worth the money.

  4. Step 4

    Consider buying Rehband Athletic tights from Dynamic Fitness for a pair of US Olympic Weightlifting style tights that keep warmth where you need it and gets rid of it where you don't.

  5. Step 5

    Grab a vintage "Arnold" bodybuilding shirt for a classic piece of apparel that's appreciated by almost every US Olympic Weightlifting athlete and fan. The T-shirts are available at CafePress and occasionally on eBay at pretty good prices.
