I wear beaters now and again. It helps pump me up mentally. And if I'm lookin small that day, I puts a fire under my ass...
 
I wear Tanks and regular T's and sleeveless T's whatever I happen to be in for that day... Who really gives a damn, really? Wear what you're comfortable in and **** everyone else.
 
If you can wear a tank and look/feel good in it, go for it. But if you are as hairy as a hippie's *******, and/or fat, don't.
The worst thing I notice (when I take the time to look around) is the "fasion wear" that some wear. Some people work harder on looking like they are fitness inclined than actually being fit.

Wear what you like; like what you wear; train and go home.
 
my training clothes also happen to be my "I'm going to lay around today clothes" Gym shorts and what ever shirt fits me that day.

I feel they are much better than sweat pants but not as revealing as underwear....

You know what is funny? To me it is just as foreign seeing people being in a t-shirt at the gym as it is for others seeing people in tank tops. Here in Houston only the out of shape, or HUGE guys where t-shirts, guys like 5'8" 225-240 lean or 6'3" and 260-300. They are still in the minority because a lot of the other huge guys still wear tanks and wife beaters. Seems like most everyone at our gym is in a tank top, girls even only wear sports bras, a tank and shorts or stretch workout pants.

I saw somewhere back in the thread that someone said if you are built and wear those people think you are a cocky bastard. Well, I guess I am cocky enough to say their opinion does not phase me. I am proud of every bit of hard work I put into my lifting and my appearance. Part of the reason I work out is for the appearance. Vanity is my motivation for nutrition, and cardio. The love of lifting is what motivates me for my intense workouts. I am a visually stimulated creature, it is in my make up or DNA. I look at things for external stimulation, it is part of how my mind relates with things. I enjoy seeing myself pumped and jacked up in the gym. I LOVE IT! I am not ashamed to admit it. Make no mistake I am all business in the gym, not too overly social while there, have my head phones in and blaring to keep everyone else out of my workout world. If my being in a beater bothers someone while I am making every other effort to seclude myself into my own workout then they are busy bodies who should be paying more attention to themselves unles they just really like what they see which THAT would be considered gay!
 
I always wear a tank in the gym, no exceptions!
 
If you're really big you're big in a normal t-shirt you'd wear to the mall. I hate people that wear affliction shirts or tight-ass tank tops so that they can try to look bigger. They only look big when there's no comparison. Stand behind them in a line and they suddenly shrink in their little shirts/tops.

Sweet, one sane person. :). If you are looking at other guys at the gym (girls are an exception and you know it) than you are not utilizing your time effectively. Wear what you want and forget who thinks what.

The only thing that bothers me at the gym are people using squat racks for bicep curls. WTF???

P.S. For those of you talking smack about bosu balls I would love to see you get on those and try to lift the same amount of weight as you do standing. It will quickly show you how much your body is missing.
 
If your sexual identity is in such crisis that your choice of workout shirt causes you concern, I think it's time to come out of the closet now and save yourself the torture.

I wear a tank top every workout because I like the way I look and enjoy admiring myself as I workout. I do not feel that this will cause me to begin persuing sexual encounters with men.

What a F.d up thread this is...
 
I usually wear cut off daisy dukes b/c I've been focusing on my legs. I keep getting strange looks from dudes in the gym. I am trying to be hardcore, but I think I am sending the wrong message...

Blah. I can't believe this thread is still alive.

As I mentioned several times throughout the beginning of this thread, I did not mean 'gay' in the classic sense (read: homosexual) but instead as stupid, dumb, ugly, retarded looking, etc.

Carry on.

To be honest, what's really lame is those 'Tapout' t-shirts.
Click to expand...
Yupp, Tapout and Affliction shirts are starting to become a trend nowadays, I'm seeing more and more of those around. What's even more lame are idiots who walk around wearing an "Xtreme Couture" t-shirt acting like they know a thing or two about MMA or can kick some ass.
 
I sport the matix jerseys...or Kill Brand attire :)


on the TapOut shirts... I say you're safe to spit right in the face of anyone wearing one with no repercussions. Any trained fighter would be embarrased to wear that **** in public. especially now that its trendy. I have a few friends who regularly compete in mma events and they prefer to be a wolf in sheeps clothing...like a "sleeper" car, if you will.

Haha, I seen that thread a while back, dude definitely has issues.
 
I voted 8..

i can wear a beater , but i just dont feel right.

In my area, i must admit, we have alot of WT and Rednecks. lol Many wear
"the beater"

So, there is a stereotype that goes with "the beater"..

I go sleevelesss every now and then, usually i just wear a big t-shirt and sweatpants with converse shoes(socks and underwear of course).

Its comfortable and what i am used to.

PS, the one guy that does wear "the beater" at our gym........IS A DOUCHE.

My current gym and the last gym. Two different douche's.
 
Wear whatever you want, who cares what people think.
If your training like an animal thats all that matters. The only down fall of the beater IMO is transferring sweat onto equipment via skin contact, some guys dont wipe the benches down.
To some degree if your in shape youve earned it, and if some little skinny guy wears one how do you have time to notice between sets and staring at/talkin to hot chicks.

I always wear a "beater", dry fit, hoodie.

Hoodie helps you warm up, then dry fit limits sweating and if you are too hot rock the beater.
 
I saw a guy today at the gym, mind you it was about 3pm, with a ball cap and sunglasses on. In the gym. I wanted to punch him in the throat. Who wears shades in the gym?

Yeah me too - I never thought people like that existed outside the theatre.

Ive just put New Jersey on my list of places to avoid like the plague

You do know that 90 percent of the guidos you see are not actually from NJ. They are actually from long island or statin island. They just come there to ruin the state during the summer. North Jersey does have some guidos but nothing compared to Statin or L.I. Most people don't realize this b/c they only visit Jersey during the summer when its population guidoville near the beach.

I dont think tank tops are gay unless its one of those guys who spends his whole time making love to himself in the mirror. It gets hot in my gym so sleeveless or tanktops are more comfortable. I could care less what anyone might think about me anyway while working out. Pay attention to yourself and your workout not how others are clothed. Unless its a sexy underclothed lady. Than its a little tough not to!
 
I prefer T shirt and and wife beater underneath then i take the shirt off when i feel the pump lol make fun of me so what :bb:
 
:rofl:

Its no more gay then shaving yourself, tanning, sticking a needle in your a$$, donkey calf raises Arnold style, 300 pound men covered in baby powder putting a super tight polyester shirt on one another, constant discussion about what PCT will make your boys hang lowest, standing on a giant stage in a pair of briefs posing in front of thousands of other men who are going to gossip if your bloated, etc.


Now if you said how gay is somewhere wearing the y tank standing on a Bosu ball to do cheat curls in a squat rack that would be a whole different story.

O put on my first tank top at the gym and it felt weird.

At the same time, I love tank tops since you can only see the "good parts" of you. If you have no abs, they're hidden, you have a tire, it's covered.

The best thing to wear during a winter bulk to increase your motivation IMO.
 
I honestly don't get why you guys really think about what you wear to the gym. Who the **** cares? Sometimes I wear shirts, sometimes wife beaters, sometimes I match sometimes I look homeless.

I'm there to sweat and train man, not impress any other donkey doing 10 sets of preacher curls.
 
I wear cut offs I wear big shirts.. I sweat in both shirts but only in the cut offs i sweat and get hard nips and that makes me feel gay.. so I voted 7

Couldn't of said it better, it bugs me because most people wear it to look like a "bro" I train martial arts, and a Jiu Jitsu instructor, and often want to shoot a double into side control and let them wiggle themselves into a d'arce.......

sometimes I can be mean......
