seems as though 99% of males (from 14 yr old kid to 70 yr old man ) sports this look. I prefer not to. A gym worker asked me why I don't go sleeveless just as a 40? yr old man (with hat on backwards) passes by....I just pointed at this dude and continued my workout. Curious if they're delusional or is it a comfort thing? I think it looks pathetic, nice physique or not.....

Yeah If I had a 13" arm I'd cover up too :-*

-
I wear any clean shirt I can find in my condo at the time... I could care less
Would you purposely put on a shirt without sleeves?
-

I gotta 13" arm....just not hanging from either shoulder
-
Flabby arm meltdown.
If it doesn't stink, wear it.
-
i stay coverd up year round. long sleeves, sometimes shorts.. im not in the gym to get looks, or to get complements.
last time i saw vic martinez at my gym he was doing chest in an xxxxl sweatshirt and pants.. guess he was covering uo his pathetic arms ::)
-

:o Do you have trouble finding clothes that fit?
-
If I ran out of clean sleeveless tee's I'd take a regular tee and purposely cut off the sleeves cause I'm just cool like that.

He didn't want to frighten the old people in aerobics class. :)

so If vic started wearing pink knee high socks you'd do that too? glad to see the young fella here has found a role model to emulate

i always train in a wifebeater, i personally like to see the muscles working. i notice especially when training shoulders it keeps my form stricter when see my delt heads work on raises.. except leg day i always wear a t-shirt

what the fuck are you tallking about? i was just using him as an example.. that guys that actually have muscle dont feel the need to show it off. were in their to bust ass, not to get attention..
wear whatever the fuck you want to. if a sleevless shirt and mini shorts makes you feel badass then do it.

I might just do that smart guy! :)
-
nope..i prefer to keep my sweat to myself and keep other people's germs on the equipment instead of it hopping onto my skin.
and i don't feel the need to show off what i've got...
-
That's just the current fashion, regardless of whether you workout or not. Personally, I never do.
-
No. I wear thick long sleeved shirts. I take it off when I got a huge pump. Best of both worlds. :D
-
I wear Tshirts 90% of the time but when it's really hot i where a sleeveless or tank top or whatever i can find that keeps me cool, no Aircon at my gym.
-
Yeah i wear them!

i never understood why guys with horrible arms go sleeveless.

Because they live in the real world where most people (read girls) don't give 2 shits about arm size and such Mars.
But it's good they do, cause we here at Getbig can bash them to our hearts content ;D
-
I sometimes wear them, just because Aussie summers can be a bitch.
You know if you wear one most people in the gym wouldn't even notice. Why do you guys care so much about what guys wear ???
-

Yeah here in Melbourne it was 37 yesterday and like 14 today....the weather if all over the shop down here. I wore a singlet to gym yesterday and a long sleve top today ;D. But yeah I'm really more interested in what the girls are wearing than the guys ;).
-
I actually like to train in heavier clothing. I seem to get a better sweat going that way.
-

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards should never go sleeveless.

when you fat train with shirt on when you cut train with nothing on,,thats the rule,,see when you bulk a big shirt can make you look big muscle even though youre puffed up under and have flab on midsection while sitting,,,now when youre cut and ready for show all single digit,, you want to show as much as possible because the quality is there the waist is tight and the muscle is ripped and looked a lot bigger than your real weight and covered with shirt its hard to tell how much quality your chest or midsection have,,why work so hard and walk 6% if you dont wannas show it off,,its not something you see everyday,,you dont see 200lb+ 6% walking infront of you daily by the dozens so hell ya show it
its a mater of single digit or double

totally agree, i think Gregg Valentino had a quote from Arnold in his last column and it goes something like:
"The better you get, the less you run around showing off as a muscle guy. you know, you wear regular shirts-not always trying to show off what you have. you talk less about it. it's like you have a little BMW-you want to race the hell out of this car, because you know it's just going 110. but if you see guys driving a ferrari or a lamborghini, they slide around at 60 on the freeway because they know if they press on that accelerator they are going to go 170. these things are the same in every field."
And i aint got small arms either, im not gonan even get into how big they are but here is a clip:
I never wear wife beater or sleeveless by the way.

I wouldn't put too much into what Valentino has to say.

Its not what Valentino says, Valentino quoted Arnold... that quote that i wrote is from Arnold
-
I feel claustrophobic in long sleeves while training plus you sweat way too much. I also agree with seeing the muscles work helps the workout. Wife beaters no but cutopff is no big deal.

I work out in sleevless flannel shirts.I'm old school like that.
-
I train in sleeveless shirts all the time. One time, when I was 14 or 15 or so and thought I was a real bad ass, I walked into the gym with no shirt on at all, then the manager told me to put one on...so I did. And it wasn't a big deal. I think my sleeveless shirts are even less of a big deal.
ps. Sometimes I do bb curls at the squat rack too.

-

Arnold trained with less on then most.. cat didn't even wear shoes. And he was always at the beach showing off.
-

Hell yeah! us true warriors still kick the Oakleys!
-
I don't even wear a shirt when I go to the gym because I'm that hardcore.
-
Sometimes when I am doing curls the sleeves on my T shirt just rip, I can't help it, I have some big pipes. Other than that I try to cover them, I am not there to embarrass other people.

lol.
Hey, if some of these people have small arms they might still want to wear sleeveless..That might give them incentive to get them bigger-having everyone looking at their arms. Arnold did the same thing with his calves. Felt they were pathetic so he showed them off as motivation...
-
Good God, this topic is back on again...wear what you like to wear in the gym and if it is sleeveless, screw it. Fuck i live in Florida and wear whatever is clean
-

Bro, i am having a hard time reading this but i think i got it
-
If you live in a warmer client and and only cut off the sleeves of a t-shirt then it is no big deal. Tank tops and string tank tops are lame unless you are huge and even then it is still laughable.
My college gym had a rule where you had to wear shirts with sleeves because:
1. Supposedly they wanted to prevent too much sweat from getting on equipment
2. They didn't want more muscular guys intimidating smaller/older people (like professors or newbs)
-
:D

well if you think about it.. 99.9% of the things we do is to get pussy..aside from farting, i cant think of anything... if it wasnt for girls, i'd be some fatass lowlife, with no job, who lives with my parents.(no offense to you squadfather)
but you dont show all your secrets. you wear a t-shirt, she can tell you got a body, and she wants you to take it off.. just like one of those girls that has a hot body but they stay covered up. it drives you nuts, you want to take her home and strip her down.. besides that a girl doesnt want a meathead. but she wants a guy with muscle.. you gotta know how to use it to your advantage..

I live in Florida so it is always hot but where did you attend college at? I know rules are rules but i can see people being intimidated but they should get over it. I see guys that are 150 lbs and 6'00 tall wear National Physique Committee string tanks.

On the west of the country. I was pissed when I heard that because the gym just has ceiling fans and no AC, which made it really bad with a lot of people piled into the gym. It sounds pussy but where I live it got really bad during the hot months especially. If you are that pathetic to be intimidated by a 200 lb dude in a cut-off Tee then you have bigger issues. I work with college athletes who are bigger than me and I look at as something to aspire to.
