Title: how many of you train covered up?
Post by: gracie bjj on May 27, 2006, 02:42:58 PM
ive noticed over the years that alot of the huger dudes train in baggy sweat shirts or t shirts compared to the smaller dudes who are always checking themselves in the mirror in tight ass tank tops as if they lost all the size they had in a matter of 60 seconds,whats your preferance?

I dont care what i wear... i dont go to the gym to compare with the next dude or whatevers.  Im at the gym to attract women.  i dont give a rat's ass if the guy next to me is Ronnie Coleman wearing baggies cuz he dont wanna show off.  i wear tanks, sweaters or whatever suits me that day!  for some strange reason if guys really care what others guys think of their physique then shit, suit urself but dont be hatin on guys like me who are slim and not as conditionally superior in size as Frank Sepe, cuz we're wearing tanks.

yeah what gives with those dudes that have to check thier body every minute in the mirror like they are going to put on 20lbs of muscle after a set,dont get me wrong if your training hard and every so often you look in the mirror thats cool, im sure you guys no the type that im talking about.they do a set then stand there in a fixed position looking at themselves in the mirror for a good 5 minutes or more

I always train in tank tops, I start out in a large top but after a few sets that comes off, I like to ventilate, when I train I go all out, so I don't want to have a sauna inside a sweat top. For bottom usually cargo pants and running shoes.

at a gym i used to train at there was a Mr. America in the early 80's who worked there and we were sitting in his office talking and he said it's always the skinniest guys with the least amount of muscle who wear the least clothes and the huge motherfuckers are all covered up in baggy clothes, and from what i've seen i totally agree with him.

Thats because the big guys are insecure nowadays. They don't want to admit their faults and in the end only ruin their own physiques.

I always start out with the intentions of staying covered up  (sweatshirt, sweatpants) but after 10-15 minutes I start sweating like a madman because my gym doesn't have AC and I get uncomfortable. So I'll usually then go down to a T-shirt but I'll have a cut-off T-shirt in my gym bag just in case I get too hot again.

I can't stand getting too hot in my gym, and we don't have A/C, so I train in a tank top all the time. I never knew anyone cared about this kind of thing. As a matter of fact, I always wondered how some really big guys could train in something heavy. I figured if I had a temperature problem, they must have a worse one. Do people like being hot or something?

the big guys know they look big wearing anything so no need to show off and they want to stay warm to prevent injury

Depends on the body part being trained, i like free movement of parts i am working. I actually wear short shorts for leg day but i lift at home so i am not out in public like that ;D In the winter though i tend to cover up more cause i rather be too warm then cold for obivious reasons.

im not in shape this year but even when i was in shape i never like to expose at the gym,im only 12 minutes from my gym and when i  get home after working out and while my shake is in the blender ill pose in front of the mirror for awhile,just to evaluate myself in a realistic manner.being honest with yourself is the best thing in the long run.when you truly go to the gym to bust your ass the last thing on your mind is staring in the mirror at yourself.ofcourse on the other hand there is nothing wrong with training in a cut off if thats your thing,i like to wear a cut off shirt under my baggy sweatshirt on arm day and after 20 minutes or so when im getting a nasty pump ill take the sweat shirt off,it is motivating alot of the time also.to each his own but as long as your busting your ass and leaving everything you have in that gym its all good

I can understand either point of view.  Lets face it, less clothes will attract the girlies a bit better but to most of us it feels really lame.  Probably because of posers ruining the general perspective of bodybuilders.  Its the same reason why if you don't show it off normal people often have no clue that you actually lift.

since we all train its not hard to spot someone whos a true bodybuilder,i know from experiance that if a bodybuilder was training in the gym bundled up compared to a smooth poser wanna be bodybuilder bundled up id be able to tell i think,i think you guys know what i mean,its just a look,sometimes it could be the sucked in cheeks or huge veiny ass forearms if they are exposed,theres ways to tell imo,the posers are funny as hell i think

Most of the time a loose fitting T makes you look bigger, hangs off your traps and flairs out your lats from the back. 

Nike Shorts and a thrift store T-shirt with a tank underneath.

I do workout in a pretty trendy gym in the city and I'm one of the few dudes not in Nike Dri-Fit or Underamor or decked out in Puma.

I wear whatever will be comfortable for that day's particular workout.  Some clothes just don't fit as well for certain workouts (like long ass shorts on leg day).
