I don't think so sarcasm.  I think if you are a thin/stickly guy, you have no right trying to sport them as if you are built (I think those who do that, and there are a lot of those guys at the gym, look really stupid), but if you have broad muscular shoulders, traps, chest and arms...definitely  :P.  I don't think you have to be IFBB level size.

i guess it's a modesty thing, i always wear a t shirt in the gym i just think it's more comfortable, but it seems like the majority of dudes who wear them are 160 lbs., yeah most of them are low bodyfat but they're skinny.

Amen to that!  I think it's hilarious when you see people that have an entire gym outfit that consists of Under Armour.  It's funny because they usually buy colors that will make them stand out to the rest of the gym.
Damn, I gotta start checking who's logged in when I post lol.

Anyway, at my old gym in Mass, there was a this very dark, well build guy who wore BRIGHT YELLOW Under Armour sleeveless top and Under Armour capris.  Some times he wore the same outfit in white or red.  You couldn't miss him  roflmao

Same here.  Let's face it, it's hard to kind of stand out if you're natural with a gym full of juicers.  That's what I try to do though.

At my old varsity gym a woman came in one day and  trained in a tank top (with nothing underneath) and she did a back workout amoungst other things. Needless to say when she was doing pulldowns her boobs were actually hanging out the armholes completely and she just kept on going...

Tanks are fine if you have some muscle.

What annoys me are the guys with the cut shirts and their nipples sticking out. I can't describe them, but I really only want to see nipples on fit women.

Most guys occasionally flex, especially pre-contest. Last week I saw this kid (about 140) flexing his biceps after every set, LOL! It was funny as hell the first time. :)

I always did wonder about the really skinny teens wearing the tanks. I wear a hooded sweater for practically every workout, or a football jersey. I don't know if this sounds right to you guys, but I don't want to discourage myself during my workout looking for a pump and want to just train by feel. Anyhow, staying covered up means I don't wonder if this guy or that guy has thicker delts, or that guys has a wider back etc...
