Fanny packs are just another thing that makes bodybuilding unique I suppose. It contributes to the stereotype and gives the "sport" an identity.

It's like tennis players always wearing sweatbands I guess. Well, not out and about on the street, but you know what I mean.

In the summertime, I wear mainly board shorts. While they're light and comfortable, they usually only have one small pocket. So, the fanny pack picks up the slack. It's strictly for a  practical purpose. I'm too old to make fashion statements.

For a pro bber, I guess it would be a good place to keep syringes and bottles.

I use a fanny pack because the locker room at my gym was broken into and I do not want people to steal my stuff.  I put my wrist wraps, keys, lifting straps and wallet in it.

Blame Gary Strydom...trend started in eighties when everyone wore his stupid Crazee Wear baggies to church, work, bars, dates, and oh yeah, workouts. Damn pockets hung down to your knees and evertything fell out of them.

heh, I'm not even big and know why...cuz when ur legs get too big, it sux to put stuff in your pants pockets because it's hard to get it out...and it looks stoopid with your keys/wallet/etc all poking out on your leg (or ass if you put your wallet in your back pocket)...and can hurt if your keys dig into your leg when you sit down in a car or whatever.

...some day I'll be privileged enough to have to wear one...

Good question to spotlight all the tiny-tits on the board... ;D

fanny pacs are a completley straight phenomenom. Stop blaming us for this scourge on society.

you should blame retired old men on vacation and straight bodybuilders.

I should make it clear that I take a fanny pack to the gym because of a locker room theft and that I do not in fact wear it in public.  I did wear it once when I was bicycling on Mackinaw Island.  And to set the record straight the thief was white. He took forty bucks from a buddy of mine.

They broke the metal piece that holds the lock right off the side of the locker and left the locks on the floor.  It was someone using a guest pass and it was late at night, around 9-9:30.

useful instead of digging for stuff in pockets, i use it to keep my Keys, wallet, Cell-phone and wtv little small items i need,(also like splenda packets when dieting) sometimes pills...who knows... but i never wear it around the waist. just carry it in one hand with the belt strap thing folded in my palm. very practical, and alot less embarassing when its not around your waist.

beats forgetting stuff in your pants and getting it washed by accident.

Because they work, there are no practical alternatives and sometimes don't look bad? Wear it behind you it's not such a big deal, anywhere else it's almost as gay as sandals.

I used to wear fanny packs.  I liked them.  They held my wallet and change and phone, pen and other shit.  No way would all the crap fit in my pocket.  I think they are a good idea.  Now some of them though are pretty ridiculous.  I saw one the other day on a japanese guy that was the size of a small suitcase.  I mean it was huge.  Now that is stupid looking.  I don't wear one now though.  I am worse.  I have everything in my bank bag and carry that around everywhere.  But, like the fanny pack no way could I fit all that stuff in my pockets.
