That is also what I believe.
I use to wear tank tops because I thought I didn't want to sweat all over my t-shirts. I later felt like tank tops were too tight and uncomfortable around my abdomen especially. Now I always wear t-shirts. Sometimes I wearing a full hood and sweat pants, because I just want to be quick in out of gym and shower at home.

<<<<<<<<< Gigantic D-BAG when on a cut <<<<<<<<
Winter bulk time I wear hoodie and jogging pants
Summer cut time I wear compression shirts 3 sizes to small, hell I'd go shirtless if they'd let me but they told me I can't because the Zumba girls oooing and aaahing gets to disruptiveIt's not your beliefs that make you a better person, it's your behavior.

There's a girl that works out at the gym near my house, her and her husband are very fit. She initially came in with a t shirt and shorts on but about half way through she took her shirt off and had some sort of sports top on. She was very well enhanced and had a nice ab section. That lasted all of about 10 mins before management came over and complained that one of the soccer moms on the treadmill found it offensive.
At the time she was doing 50lb incline benches..Dave

The term "wife beater" is derived from Cops, the television show. During domestic disputes, when police arrived at the scene the guy was usually wearing a white tank top. So, white tank top got associated with men beating their wives.
I like wearing wife beaters when I'm trim, but during a bulk I prefer something less form fitting.

Do all that, and you will look as good as your genes will let you, be content as the arseholes around you will allow, and maybe get a few screws. The particular virtues of weight training are in the discipline it brings to both mind and body, and, if you do it right, it will make you look good naked and do well what you got your clothes off to do."

This thread got me thinking. I usually don't care what people wear to the gym, I'm under the idea that you should wear whatever makes you comfortable.
That being said, what about folks who wear wife beaters outside the gym? Are you thinking, confident/you should be able to show off your hard work? or Are you thinking D-bag/complete attention whore?Height: 5'8"

We were in Seattle grabbing a bite to eat and there was a dude standing on a curb in the parking lot holding his pants up with one hand...well they were halfway down his ass...while he yakked on a cell phone. Didn't know if he was trying to call for a ride or what the hell but he finishes his call and walks halfway across the lot and jumps into what looked like a new BMW 5 series and drives off. Driving a sweet ride like that and yet looks like a pos wannabe thug with his pants around his ass.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has never seen one of these in the stores. I've definitely seen the same crowd wearing them (skinny HS kids) and I've also seen them on the basketball court. Most of the time on the basketball court, they will wear a wife beater underneath it.
To me, there is a HUGE difference between wearing a wife beater and any other kind of tank top. The wife beater, to me, is like showing up in your underwear, its meant as an undershirt. This means the really light, practically see thru white (or light grey tone) shirt. IMO, a true wife beater just seems out of place.ALL I ASK IS ALL YOU GOT FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES

See, now to me that's a Tank Top. Back in the day, at least around here, a "wife beater" was a t-shirt or sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off usually worn over a big beer gut and fat, soft arms to complete an ensemble with cut off jean shorts. Food and sweat stains were optional.
I always wear tanks to work out in (but not white, that was always officially underwear) but nowhere else because around here nowadays they've become de rigueur cruising wear for gays.It's 80% diet, 20% workout and 100% in the mind.
If you can read or carry on a conversation, you ain't working out.
To be different the only thing you have to do is stand fast when the herd moves.
Parking your s**t on a bench ain't the same thing as using it!
