How did ME grad and TITIN founder Patrick Whaley do on the Shark Tank last week? Check out the video and see.

The athletic training clothing TITIN is the brainchild of Whaley, ME ‘10, and is now the main product of his start-up company TITIN. TITIN is a one to 30-pound athletic training shirt fitted with gel inserts over certain upper-body muscle groups from the waist to the upper shoulders and down the arms. The gels are well-distributed over the muscle groups, creating a hypergravity effect on the body and forcing the muscles to work harder and synchronously.

Having once carried extra books in his backpack to exercise, Whaley developed a regular shirt that could serve the same purpose. After several designs, he settled on a specific version and invested $20,000 of his own money into the project. The budding entrepreneur developed a weighted shirt that utilizes a form fitting gel to create comfortable sports apparel that can be used to increase intensity of workouts, gain strength, and even assist in rehabilitation efforts.Today he continues to work on developing new products for TITIN. He travels the world demonstrating the benefits of training with TITIN weighted gear, which he is living proof of how well it works.
