TheGoalNet Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Depends on what your capability with sewing is and your budget? I bought an old Brian's unit in college to mess with. I found that Yoga mat foam worked well and was very cheap. You can get one at 5 Below for $5 or less depending on where you are connecting it, zip ties and/or fabric glue can work well. I also made a "heart guard" from plexiglass, zip ties, and the foam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAngle41 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Lots of options @Goalieinneed. Probably best to define what you're looking to reinforce then start searching new C/A models that fit your playing style and check out what materials are being used and how. From there amazon etc is your best friend for bulk(ish) materials, that and some minor sewing skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I used those foam floor tiles to beef up my pants, it worked great, I’d imagine it would work great with a chesty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fever Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If you have a set thigh boards, it will fix a lot of your problems. I will explain and post some pics tomorrow afternoon, I need sleep now, played 2.5 Hrs this afternoon and play tomorrow morning for 2 Hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Football thigh pads work really well for beefing up the arms. They are precurved and youth models will fit the bicep area well. You can punch a couple holes in them and lace them in or use some strong velcro. Otherwise I would get medium density foam around 3/8", EVA is usually pretty cheap.

fever Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The thigh boards are laced to the elbow floater part of the beef up kit (Simmons 999) but I have punched holes in other C/A's elbow floaters and laced them in that way. The thigh boards push the shoulder cap up and out a little and the shoulder cap will push the shoulder floater out a bit. The few cm of "dead space" this creates helps a lot to dissipate the energy from the impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
