I hear ya. I thought it provided safety as a key factor. Helping you stay in good form, thereby preventing an injury. It's not a lot of money so I thought he might like to use it like one day a week, maybe to try and up his weight or reps.
The Posture shirt is all day wear. Helps keep you aligned and correct poor posture. If you start to get a sore back by the end of the day it's usually due to bad posture.
I agree "he doesn't need it" but what do you get someone who has everything they already want? I think he would use it so it wouldn't just be a waste of money. And if it keeps him safer and less likely to get an injury, that's a plus.
