Sports bras for FOB and narrow shoulders?

I've started Olympic weightlifting again and I need a sports bra that will hold up. I tried the Panache Sport which was super comfy but I only filled half the cups on both the 32D and my sister size, the 34C. I've tried a few other ones, mostly MovingComfort brand, but all the straps cut into my armpits painfully, especially when I pushed my shoulders out like if I was catching a barbell. That was the big benefit of the Panache sport, that the straps didn't cut into my armpits.

Before I go and buy 6 of them on Amazon only to return them all, does anyone have suggestions for sports bras for people who are FOB?

  • From observing my girlfriends who do weightlifting, most of them appear to favor racerback sports bra styles, which typically have extremely close-set straps. Since you're lucky enough to be a "unicorn size" aka you are actually within the traditional sizing matrix you might be able to find a S, M, L-sized bra of this nature that would actually work for you. These often seem to be compression bras so breast shape is less important than overall volume and correct band size for comfort and support.

  • My Panache sports bra has really nicely narrow set straps.
