I see a lot of big guys wear sweatshirts to the gym when it's summertime. Or they will wear shirts that are so baggy that they cover their entire upper arm and only show their forearms and look like pillow cases. What is the point of purposely hiding your body when you spend so much time on it?

Permabulkers do this a lot, then strut around like we can't tell they are 25% BF under that.

I agree it's stupid, but one tactic to look impressive and vascular is to train in a hoodie and just when your at the point where your about to start sweating take off your layers, then underneath you will have a sickening pump and vascularity to impress all the bitches lol. I did like 3 sets of curls in a hoodie (the gym was warm too) with drop sets inbetween then took off my hoodie for the 4th set and my ex-girlfriend looked away from my arm and said she couldn't watch because the vascularity freaked her out lmao. The rest of the guys at the gym were mirin hard.
The level of vascularity I get now blows the 7 year old green-shirt picture out of the water. I think it's time I donned that old shirt again and took a picture with a pump lol.. Give people some new material to last the next 7 years. Still haven't hit my natural limit though because my training was inconsistent I'm sorry to say.
-
For pros their reputation is their phenomenal physique. Truth be told the majority of the year they look like crap so they hide their physique in baggy clothes.
-
This is what i always do now....It has nothing to do with people seeing you for working so hard....People already know you, people already see you, you already get plenty of attention...When you just wanna go in the gym and have a session where you hit the muscle/muscles you need to and wanna get out in 30-40 minutes this is the best way to go....It's better to have attention off you..
On the other side...Lot's of us have bigorexia..We think we're out of shape when our muscles aren't rock hard with shredded abs....So we cover up until we are near contest time...Everyone knows your big...You put up good pictures near contest time...Everyone sees you look amazing...Then in offseason/starting prep you look good...But you don't look quite as good as those pics you post on facbeook, insta, what have you...So you still look good but the bar is set so high for you that you don't even bother to show yourself and just cover up....You cover up until you look like that again, or improved...You can't handle someone saying "you looked better a couple months ago"..That will kill you inside..Your physique is your sanctuary...Lots of people think that they look like shit even though they look better than 99% of people lol...Many insecurities in the bodybuilding worldd,

Not everybody trains to show off their body and hope to impress others. An advance bodybuilder wearing a string tank top in public
is more likely to get eye rolls and "oh brother, we get it" looks.
Bodybuilding and bodybuilders are not admired by the general public anymore. They are looked on as insecure, narcissistic and drug abusers. And no one likes a show off.
I like loose fitting clothes because it's simply more comfortable and you have more freedom of movement. I despise having to tuck in my shirt. It binds you and once you lift your arm above shoulder level your shirt gets untucked.
Plus, having loose fitting clothes and not tucking in your shirt makes concealing your gat easier. ;D

Good God! What a tool!
Listen to yourself. You epitomize what normal people hate about bodybuilders.
LOL @ "one tactic"

Bodybuilding to impress the general public is a contradiction. Its a subculture of hardcore reclusive types hell bent on not fading into societal norms and mediocrity.

It does impress the general public. I mean, most people would be both impressed and grossed out by Ronnie Colemans physique. Nonetheless, it would still garner the attention he so desperately craves, thus "impressing" others.

Seems he'd prefer these men to wear more revealing clothing while he watches them grunt sweat and then shower up.
-
I knew guys who did this because they didn't want to be distracted by their bodies while working out and picking themselves apart. They wanted it to be all about the muscle.
Then I knew some people who were insecure and didn't want the attention that comes with being big or showing off their acne.
Finally some guys just didn't want the attention of people coming up to them every five minutes for lifting advice. Better to cover up
As far as getting grossed out, it depends on how facially attractive people are. If someone isnt very good looking then people will say they look gross. I've worked out in gyms where national level bodybuilders train and they have women following them around.. Those guys are pretty big. The heavier girls tended to be the most aggressive stalkers.
I've been at expos with the pros and the women are going nuts over some of these guys. Even guys who you wouldn't even imagine. It's a weird thing.

Lol

Only scenario I could think of is this:
You want to build muscle or lean down over winter so you keep covered up because you want to "premiere" your new physique in the summer at the beach and have your friends be in awe and make positive comments. That's the best case scenario I can think of.
-
Bodybuilders are such a insecure bitches who have to hide their physique to avoid bad criticism.
-
I train in loose t-shirts and sweatshirts all the time.
Only dudes in our gym, I dont really want to impress them.
-
When I first started out I would buy baggy jeans and and big shirts because I thought I would anabolize into them.
Never happened.

Calm down Gloria your taking things way too seriously, I'm not 100% serious.
-
Most of my clothing is fairly tight and slim fitted.
The stuff I wear in the gym though is baggy. It's more comfortable to train in loose clothing.
-
Women dig tight clothes, but they feel like a textile condom.

Quoted for unfortunate truth. :-[

Oh I love all these permabulkers in hoodie. Look so dangerous, cool, what is is hiding? I get so curious :D
After 22 years in the gym, I know 99.9% of all dudes look like shit without clothes! :D

5 xl t shirts.................. ...........

I wear baggy clothes to the gym because I'm 40, happily married since '99, I'm a Dad, I have "been there, done that" in the gym and no longer care what others think about me while I'm in the gym. I used to live to impress both the invisible audience, the gym rats and the occassional gym hottie......not anymore. Can't be 25, obsessed and delusional forever LOL!
I'm old enough to be father to a lot of the young girls most of you ogle in gym so I know they aren't checking me out. Sure, an occassional look or smile here and there, but so what? In terms of the gym, I'm a fossil now but it's actually rather liberating. I'm still way stronger than 99% of gym rats, have never juiced, have solid natural size, working to shed some pounds of fat, have no delusions of a competition physique and generally don't care how I'm perceived.
Like I said, it's liberating not caring anymore. 8)
Now, of course many GBrs will be on the defensive and say, "not me bro, I'm older than you and still pulling quality tail and in fantastic shape! you're the delusional one." LOL, great. ::)

This post sounds familiar ;D
Shorts, T shirts, sweats LOL! Sometimes the occasional tank top but as he says "I have other things to do now rather than looking for attention at the gym! Been there done that. Got to get in and out because I have other things to do"
Plus now it's the older women that are on the prowl. Sometimes the younger ones look but those older ladies are something else. It isn't like you can't see a well built body through t shirts and sweats because you can.

Wearing clothes is mad gey

gayer than being annoyed by dudes because they dress like dudes.
so you want men to dress like women?
outed

If a guy is built you can see it through almost any clothing. This idea that you have to be peeled, adorned in string tanks and daisy dukes and look worldclass year round is a GB fantasy LOL.
Hundreds of thousands of folks flow in out and out gyms everyday of the year and out of that population you may have 5 guys per gym that have "worldclass physiques". According to GB either you have that "worldclass physique" year round or you should face a firing squad because your body is a dumpster fire, gorgeous women vomit every time they see you and your life is essentially worthless.
To that crap I say "meh."

You kno the feeling when you're about to get the hangover of death, that you know you're going to start puking foor 8 hours by the slightest head movement? Well that's the feeling I'm getting when I look at the picture above. Horrible male fashion.
Men don't dress in pants that emphasize their ass or legs, it's just ludicrous. Shirts I can understand, but only with baggy pants. Squat legs or no squat legs, showing off your ass & thighs is for women.

That's a guy?

yes.. he gives fashion tips for nickedge779

I grew up in an old school gym and everyone dressed to workout not for fashion. Baggy clothes frankly are just easier to move in and when I am in the gym I am there to lift heavy shit..end of story. Some people are trying to be "Mr. 24hr Fitness" but those who are serious about bodybuilding let their physique on stage speak for itself.
-
TO be honest I do this...Most of you are very small so you wouldnt understand but when you go to a mega gym with hundred people in there and everyone is looking at you it gets annoying. I dont just lift for myself I lift cause I want girls attention obviously but Its fucking annoying when every bro dude you walk by gives you a stare.
I feel its hella lame when I see dudes in strrings who are on their first cycles of tren. It screams LOOOK AT ME GUYZ I GOT VEINS!!!
bigger shirt, ball cap low, head phones in. 0 distractions, im here to lift. Sorry if that bothers someone. My street clothes are normal and tighter which is how it should be....

Completely agree. I've said from the beginning that a well built body looks better in real clothes than gym clothes. The way the shoulders and back look in sweaters and dress shirts is :o. In fact there are a lot more looks and stares then over the sleeveless stuff
I think if you've lived that life or have been around that life it really isn't all it's cracked up to be. There is way more to life than daisy Dukes and g String tank tops which I have always hated

its kind of better to have a singlet on when training shoulders or back or something in my opinion

how is it better lol? For your ego? Am i gona forget where my body parts are?
I personally hate the gym cuttofff t's and singlet culture. I go to the gym and its bloofy arms abound. Its actually kinda pathetic how everyone is trying to show off what they got and 90% of is all fat lol.
Ill stay covered up and looking bigger than 99% people at my gym. Actually find girls are rather turned off by the try hard guys.

Gotta be honest, this would actually be a good look if it weren't for the boots and scarf.
Men don't dress in pants that emphasize their ass or legs, it's just ludicrous. Shirts I can understand, but only with baggy pants. Squat legs or no squat legs, showing off your ass & thighs is for women.
I usually buy slim fitting jeans to show of my glutes. :P
I don't go skinny though. That's just too emo.

funny cause most bigger dudes tend to have the same mind set. Its all the tren/testprop/mast/anavar type guys or the bloofy dudes who wear tanks and singlets. Most guys wearing singlets couldnt bench 2 plates if they tried.
The gym is a social show for most peps. I just go in 40min-1hour and hit it hard and leave. SORRY BROS

I used to prefer baggy jeans and pants. But once I started wearing the tighter stuff and got groped by chicks in the clubs, I knew there was no going back. ;D

He looks great, this could easily be my autumn evening attire. Big scarfs are in.
Are you guys really going to say his actually quite traditional outfit is gay but dressing in xxxl shirts to appear "big" solely for other men is hetero and manly ??? Lol
-
Whatever I pull out of the draw I wear ;D
Whatever I pick up off the floor I wear.

Must say some baggy clthes are a turn on.

X2 looks great on some women
The trend is form fitting but loose fitting clothes can really accentuate the right areas on a woman.

If you've been around the physique game for long enough, you can see the fine form even underneath almost all clothing.

When I was at my peak, late teens and early 20's no body wore tight fitted clothes, you couldn't get into night clubs without dress pants and a shirt etc
Always wore baggies to the gym, mc hammer pants and cut off worlds gym sweat tops, with a little string vest underneath..
These days I use any old T-shirt and shorts
