Douchebags at the gym...

Can someone tell me what is the practical purpose of wearing hoodies at the gym?


I mean, is there a reason you're trying to hide your head/face at the gym?

Are you trying to induce more head sweat all over your face?

Do you honestly think wearing a hoodie at the gym makes you look like some kind of quasi badass?
 
I'm convinced its mental because the 3 guys that walk around giving looks and just appearing to be pricks, all throw the hood on before each set. It's moronic.

I wear them sometimes lol more because I sweat more and it keeps me hot while lifting. What I don't understand is why people put the hood up but I think that's is what you're talking about.

I wear a hoodie when I am trying to cut water weight or when my gym is so damn cold from their air conditioning that I need it to stay warm. I imagine it helps keep some people " in the zone but otherwise im

Most of the ones I see wearing them are wearing shorts. Kinda negates the whole "wanna stay warm" thing.

Okay .. THAT I can understand .... if not for the fact that the gym I go to is never "too cold."
Also, if one is working out with any respectable level of intensity, this would heat up one's body fairly well.

Yes. Towel comes in handy.

No. Hoodies are comfortable, don't restrict my workouts, and I prefer to stay in my own zone when working out.

the gym that I work out at some times has these oversized ceiling fans that make the gym unbearably cold sometimes no matter how hard you are lifting
 
I don't know. I wear a hoodie in the winter because my gym isn't really heated. Plus, during that time it makes my head hot and makes my body feel warmer and looser.
 
I always work out in a hoodie and sweats just because I like to lift really warm. I never put the hood on though. I always laugh when I see the dudes wearing hoodies with their oversized beats headphones on the outsides of their hoods... Please tell me other people have seen this.

I see ALL KINDS of crazy gym wear . . . . Which makes me wonder if this is actually how these clowns THINK they're SUPPOSED TO dress to make others - but, in reality, themselves - LOOK LIKE they know what they're doing. In actuality, they look like clowns.

My favorite is the dude who seems to be in every gym-

Headband
Some sort of "hardcore" lifting shirt
Short shorts
Chicken legs
Toe shoes
Wrist wraps
Attitude

Seen this? I have done this!
 
MANdrew said:
All right! So what's the whole reasoning? I've always wondered! Is it because they don't fit under the hood, or it keeps sweat from them, or what? There must be a reason, but I always laugh!

Those Headphone Fit like crap with out a hood or a hat Thats why I wear it like that I cant speak for all the other hipsters though.
 
I might have been thr D-Bag today.

I was strapping some plates to my dip belt getting ready to do three sets. I had a kid ask me if he and he friends can work in. I turn around and it is him and 4 other guys. So, it would be five of us using a single piece of equipment. I said to him, "All of you?" He said yeah, then I told him I'm only resting 60 seconds, 90 max between sets. I time my rest periods not only for training purposes, but because I cannot spend forever in the gym. Also, there was another set of bars that was open that no one else was using. If it was just one person asking to work in, I wouldn't mind at all. But 4, come on.

I completely agree with you .... I would have done the same thing
 
I wear a hoodie all the time and keep my hood on. Why? I'm always ****ing cold now. Also what's wrong with wrist wraps? Going a bit overboard lol. I agree with the beat headphones, the **** are you wearing those for? To look like a ***got basketball player before a game? Kill yourself.

I wear the hood on my hoodies. My hair is very short and I hate the cold air blowing on my head. Plus, it helps my headphones fit a little better. Without a hood or beanie, they are slightly loose and have fallen off my head a few times when I bend over and what not. I guess I have a smaller than average head lol
 
I wear zip up hoodies for every workout, no beats though... I like the core temp raised during training
 
Wearing the hood up helps block out others that might be distracting. Say for instance, you're going for a max lift and just as you're starting to lift, some hot chick bends over with her yoga pants fitting so tight that you can tell she waxed yesterday. You're mind is no longer on the weight but on that fine piece of tail and that max lift just crushed you.

Why are you looking anywhere else but straight ahead/up when attempting a max lift?

Seems to me the lack of hoodie isn't the problem. :hammer:

Luke how do you do a max lift with a shake weight??? :lol:
 
lukehayd said:
Use my penor to lift it? Of course, that's probably not really a max lift either. How do you do it?

Super supportive mini-hoodie.
 
So I know these two kids who are about 20ish, all about the drug scene (steroids, coke, Molly). ****ing hell, these guys crack me up. They post pics of them selves, mind you they're 165 lbs on cycle and like 140 off, and their captions are like , " getting big, 4% body fat, no tren dick, test is my hiiiita".

I lol every time.

Those people are my favorite people. In a few years they'll stop and talk about "how much I used to lift" "I used to be big like you"

Ahhhh so that's how those washed up steroid abusers are born. No idea how to train or diet. I remember one of them came up to me and said he ate 5k calories a day and McDonald's and couldn't gain weight. But I think we've had this discussion before lol
 
McCrew530 said:
its easy you just wrap it around the bar like a wrist strap and then use it like you would a spotter LOL

Nope. You just lift with the penis, but bend at the knees.

Yeeepppp. I think the problem was the wide availability of prohormones a little while ago. Now with the ban and all, I think we'll see less and less people like that, but unfortunately there will always be those few that somehow believe it's a good idea to "juice" for a few years in college just to look good, borrow a somewhat aesthetic physique, and then quit and talk about the "good old days" for the rest of their life
 
Ahhh borrowed physiques. I remember a tnation article talking about people taking aas and having no idea what they're doing, so they are borrowing their physiques. Come to think of it, I've seen a lot of people shrink this past month. Ran out of hdrol and epi lulz

Yeah, that's where I took that from. It's real though man, most of the douchebags in the gym are usually rookie AAS/PH users in their first year of lifting, they get tired of it, and move on not realizing what they just did to themselves hahaha.
 
That's not being a douche. That's your right to tell the 5 talking bros to wait.

To be honest, I'd rather see that than the load of old/wrinkled men (and asians) who just love to walk and sit around butt ass naked - with their amazon bush pencil dicks floppin' around - as if the locker room is their own private spa.
