Any suggestions??

Personally I've given up hope binding/ passing at the gym. i just use a medium to high impact sports bra and a loose top. It's probably not great to restrict your breathing with a proper binder :/

S'up Ace.

I recently bought this: http://www.f2mbinders.com/product/productinfo/ultimate-chest-binder-tank/360?cid=61

This is a great way to start off as far as binding goes. And its only about $30.00(not sure if this applies to you, however, depending on what your currency is).

This binder was actually recommended to me by another fellow transdude from a different forum.

And man, is it amazing!

As far as size goes, I think you're covered there. I read some reviews on this product, prior to ordering it, and they were by big chested transmen who really favored this binder also.

But I can't tell you from experience, because I am just a medium chested guy.

I highly advise you to measure yourself, correctly, with one of those waist line rulers, to be certain of which size will fit you best. I made the mistake of doing this when I ordered my first pairs of briefs for my Limpy packer. The problem was that it was a large but I needed to go a size smaller cause these briefs were designed to fit biological men. After all, we wouldn't want any of our underwear or pants to bring out that cursed hour-glass shape. For me, this also applied to my binder. I think for most people, the measurement you get around your torso should apply to your chest as well.

There's some info on this site about this.

Good luck in your binder hunting!

I've tried both the Underworks and GC2B, and by FAR, I prefer the GC2B. I haven't actually worked out in it, which I know is your actual question, but I'm a nurse, and do some pretty physical stuff at work lifting patients and stuff, and I've had no issues with the GC2B. It compresses well, but I can still breathe and move naturally. Doing that was way harder for me in the Underworks.

I like CG2B more than underworks too, I prefer the fabric that the CG2B is made of. It seems to breathe better, i get less road rash from it too.

Oh yes, the road rash! Yeah, the Underworks really irritated my skin at the armpits. No trouble with there with the GC2B, though.

I LOVE my GC2B, but I can't stand it at the gym.  I would really recommend a sports bra for the gym unless it is unbearable to have (I understand having the mirrors everywhere and bulked up guys all around makes it tough to not bind!).  But then I can barely stand the restriction of a bra while working out, so I might be biased. (Until i started binding, I never wore bras.)  I simply can't stand anything inhibiting my breathing.  But if you are going to bind, GC2B binders are my favorite of all the binders I've tried.  I am not exactly huge chested (I was a 34C but have gone down to a 34B after losing weight), but it makes me totally, 100% flat.  Like a board.  It's the only binder I have found that allows me to wear any kind of shirt I want.  Obviously it probably doesn't work so amazingly with larger chests, but the others I have tried didn't do much more than a compression sports bra even for my smaller chest.  I have worked out in it and ridden horses in it and didn't collapse or anything, I just felt like I could have been working out harder if I could breathe a little better and I had to stop every now and then to take some deep breaths.  Never got REALLY short of breath, though, just a feeling that I wasn't breathing as deep as I could.

I myself have given up on binding at the gym... but that's just me. I don't like wearing tight fitting things on the upper half of my body while working out, and i feel restricted in a binder. As Peep mentioned, I wear a compression sports bra and a loose t-shirt or tank top. However, I do recommend GC2B binders, because from what I've seen on big chested Trans males, they've done wonders. my best friend actually has one, and he's fairly big chested, and his chest looks flat. I'm fairly small chested, so I cannot speak for myself unfortunately.
