Workout Pants

[gtwin]

Can any of you ladies recommend a brand of workout pants, preferably legging type (at the knee), that are NOT transparent?? I can't seem to find a pair that isn't see through when I squat or do deadlifts! It's embarrassing! I've tried cotton and the dri-fit fabric, and neither seems to be 100% opaque. Any suggestions? I guess I could go commando and not wear any underwear, but I wouldn't feel comfortable...

I wear these Nike dri fit(cant really remember exact name)

and absolutely LOVE them. They arent transparent at all but thin enough to feel like a second skin

The problem is your see through pants help motivate my workout!...LOL

I kid, I kid

This made me wonder whether my tights are sometimes transparant when I work out..

- and is this why that guy was deadlifting RIGHT behind me the other day, when there was actually tons of empty spots around the weight room?

I kid, I kid..

I'm pretty sure the whole gym has seen my white ass through my pants during my deadlifts and rows. Oops. I have one pair of under armour capris that isn't transparent on top. I think this is the pair I have:

Yah get yourself a pair of skins. Or any compression garment.
Looks the same as tights but also helps with endurance and recovery.

As a trainer, I spend a lot of time looking at people's bums - both men and women. [See note below] Yes, tights are often transparent, so we'll see if you have g-strings, go commando, or wear polka-dot panties (yes, I have seen this).

The compression tights are said to be very comfortable, they however will encourage men to check you out (which you may like or not, but just be aware of it). From a purely practical point of view, I recommend loose stretchy shorts or track pants. These allow comfort and effective training.

Likewise, I would recommend t-shirts rather than singlets or sport bra-tops.

It actually does seem to make a difference to lifting performance. I've yet to see anyone get a personal best while wearing booty shorts. People just seem to be more motivated while wearing drab "serious" gear.

[Note - many guys on learning my profession will start drooling embarrassingly and say, "what a great job you have." I assure you that while your first look up and down of a person can be an appreciative one - we're not blind - once they start lifting it becomes purely technical. We're not blind, we're just focusing on other stuff, like your exercise technique.]

If you have the money Lululemon. . . if you don't Marika.

I have a dozen of this style, but in black. These are my favorite capri/workout pants, in fact, I'm wearing them right now. I'm tall, so they hit me a tiny bit below the knee.

I wear them for working on the farm, for playing, for shopping, practically every day. They're a little pricey, but they're flattering (lift and separate the backside), comfortable, and they last and last. I will cry if these are ever discontinued.

Nike sells really good workout pants, I just got a pair yesterday and they're awesome. They are all priced at like $60, they seem like they'll last a while though

[imperfectly_lou]

It's all a matter of wearing what you are comfortable in Personally, I train my ass off, grunt, swear and sweat buckets but I like to wear nice clothes. For leggings, the Lululemon Zoom Run tights are the best I've tried. At the moment I am mainly wearing shorts with built in undershorts as it has been sooooo hot in the gym.

Nike does have good fitness gear, and the pants last forever. Since my thighs rub most pants start to thin out or rip in the inner thigh area but nike pants I had them for 2 years and they never ripped in the middle. I still have those pants but I grew out of the style of them but I ran probably over 500 miles with them on.

Have a look at Lulu Lemon - worth paying the little bit more you get quality, good fitting, non-see through flattering workout gear. Ingot the studio pants and LOVE them. They had some 3/4 stuff

That was posted 2 years ago. Just sayin.

I just stick to good old generic sweat pants. The looser the better
