Gasp is legendary BBer clothing line. When I was fat and strong, Gasp's jeans where the only ones that would be wide enough to fit for me that were not a hip hop brand.

nice bro. As I’ve got older my love for nature and the outdoors has really grown. I own a holiday home on the south coast of England by the beach with amazing areas of woodland nearby but I don’t get to spend as much time there as I’d like. Would love to have that sort of area literally outside my window for sure - looks amazing

I’m a massive vanquish fan, most of my gym gear is from them. No idea if available in the states though but in particular their stuff is awesome if your over 6 foot

I like vanquish too (Im an Andrei Deiu fanboy, and I'm wearing a VQ singlet in my profile pic), but they make their singlets and tshirts too damn long lol. I like that scallop cut to the hem, but VQ stuff is too long.

Gasp is good but I tend to prefer the style and fit of BetterBodies stuff.

Alphalete has good hoodies and sh1t but their clothes tend to be more fitting rather than baggy and loose.

BB another legendary brand. I remember when I was a kid the Gasp and BB where probably the only clothing lines here, that were for bbers and the minds alike. You almost had to earn the 'right' to wear them (by being big enough, otherwise you'd drown in them), the Gasp especially. But this is like 20 years ago = )

haha, this is exactly the reason I like it. After my weight loss I have that pouch of loose skin at the bottom of my abs and so many brands ride up above it with any overhead movement. Gymshark is probably the worst for it.

VQ keeps it covered for me

Ahh, yeah sure. Jed North does some long cuts too.

Lol Gymshark. For me the only thing that gives them some cred is having CBum as an "influencer". Otherwise ugh they seem oversaturated with 20-something fake natty's.

the group I lift with when I go to the local corporate gym (I do my proper lifting at home but I go to a corporate gym with a few guys and girls for the social) all joke about how we won’t be accepted in there unless wearing GS. There’s a few fake natties but where I live the bigger stronger guys just own the fact they are juiced up. It’s mainly full of weak as **** skinny guys and girls who barely eat (although they are hot as **** to be fair).

last time I was there I watched a group of 4 lads all gymsharked up, back squatting. They had 225 loaded up and although they all looked in reasonable condition literally only one of them moved that with decent form and that was only a triple. The other 3 should have been dropping the weight and actually getting a proper stimulus into the legs for sure.

not fan of GS at all but the story behind the lad who set it up and who’s just become filthy rich is actually pretty amazing

Gymshark had some awesome stuff 3-4 years ago. Fitted stuff that really enhanced the look of my physique. But then something happened and now their style just isnt my thing. Only time i buy from them is when they drop their Steve Cook lines. Those usually have a look that suits me.

This happened to me too. But with several brands. Till I realised it was not the clothes, but my physique..

Damn nice :) just in Canada here haha but during the winter it gets down to -40 felt at times
Is that "felt' some kind of unit or do you mean it feels like it? 😀 Tried to Google it, but ended up reading some heat index on how different temp's feel in different conditions. If that's Celcius of Fahrenheit, then that's pretty damn cold! I don't think I've ever experienced temp that low.

Funny fact that I ran in to just now trying to solve the temp in your post; -40 is the only temp figure where -40 °C = -40 °F 🤯
Ok, I'm a huge nerd and it's probably not interesting to anyone else 😆

Hahaha yeah it’s a kind of unit but I wouldn’t know how to explain it I think it has to do with the air or something like right now it’s -20 C here but it’s "felt -32 C" meaning it’s cold as ****.

Ok, that makes sense. Yeah we had something like -23 C at lowest here last week and it was brutal. I think the felt was at like 'Get the **** inside!' -temp.

Wait, Guys wear Gymshark? I have never seen a dude in gymshark anything. Around me it’s for women only, and they wear the hell out of it.

Maybe it’s a regional thing? Like how we have different styles in the UK vs US? I honestly really wanted to buy a bunch of GS stuff a few years back, but when I went to their booth at the Arnold and got my “free” (I say that because we waited in like for like a year) tank, it was like shrink wrap. Now keep in mind this was back in my powerlifting days, I was built like a brick **** house. I wasn’t ripped or anything but I was massive. And it dawned on me that the trendy **** just doesn’t work.

Nowadays I’m big on the Under Armour’s Project Rock gear. I love their tanks, their hoodies (sleeveless and normal) pants, etc. I guess they make it fit for more lifter/type physiques since that seems to be whom they’re marketing too.

Yeah for real.. who created this
They are creations of German borned Dutch physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit and Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. But more important is why would anybody want to use the Fahrenheit unit, when Celsius is part of the easier, more logical SI-system aka the metric system 😜

LOL

I agree! Let's stick with one temperature measurement! I'll learn Celsius if needed. ;)
