Wife beater in the gym..

[nebraskaheat]

Yea or Nay?

Been noticing more and more guys wearing them at the gym lately.. I wear a wife beater almost every day, but never to workout in.. Just doesn't seem right to me..

Obviously. Beaters all the way.

I knew it would not go much longer without a tanktop fashion thread.


Carry on.....

Wear what you want as long as you are taking the gym serious then its all good.

[Swamp Dog]

In on monthly gym attire thread.

I vote "yea" because you got to let the womens know what's up in the gym.

Ok. I will bite. What is a wife beater?

[dungeonmistress]

I wear beaters to train but rarely if ever see men in beaters or tanks.

A tank top? Man. I loved those back in the 80's. I hope they come back.

[Puckettg]

All about personal preference really, as long as you're comfortable and working out is all that really matters. I do see lots of tanks at my gym though. Personally, I work out in all sweats cause I'm trying to cut. I like to be wet when I leave the gym!

The "wife beater" look did come back recently. According to my teenage daughter, it's the "Jersey Shore" boys that brought them back.. Which may explain why I only ever see them worn in the gym..

I like them, and it would be convenient to workout in them since I have 50, just can't get that "Jersey Shore" reference out of my head..lol

It's not that everyone who has ever worn one beats their wife. It's that everyone who does beat their wife has worn one. lol

I wear a wife beater under my dress shirts everyday, came from the days of me being a fat ass and the beaters trying to contain my fatty man-boobs. Now lately when I change I just throw a ratty t-shirt over my beater, if I get too hot I may take it off but I'm not THAT confident yet.

So riddle me this...is it just me or is it the folks who have the matching outfits, 50 dollar nike "sweat whisking" shirts the ones who work out the least? Seems like that at the gyms I've gone too. The ones with the 20yr old t-shirts and shorts seem to be the more serious lifters.

EDIT: I just realized I said I'm not that confident wearing a wife beater in public yet I took a picture and posted it as my avatar for the world to see...

I just had a new guy join my gym and he asked if I have any special clothing requirement. I said yes. Wear the ugly-est cloths you can. Why? Because I put motor oil on all my weights twice a month.

Sees wife beater in gym. Thinks "he's going to the squat rack to do curls". Rarely wrong.

[m314]

I'd rather wear an athletic fit t shirt that doesn't get in the way. I'd have to shave my back and shoulders a lot more if I wore tank tops.

[rnacdaley]

Most of the guys that wear tank tops in my gym are the last people that should be doing so. It really does not make sense to me. However, if you can pull one off and do wear it then you will likely be labeled as an attention whore. In the end go with what you are comfortable working in.

Same, I can hardly wear cut offs anymore cause of back hair. Back Hair <

[thnikkaman]

Yes. I'll wear them when I have a body to show off. Until then, I wear those breathable workout shirts that are too short. That belly roll I still have is motivation to keep doing what I'm doing.

It has been a few months, though. I'm starting to feel like a wooly mammoth.

Used to wear them back in my competition days in the early 80's sans bra. I now wear them to bed.

[lunchbreak]

Wear them more in the summer, no AC at my gym. Nothing to do with fashion, all my gym clothes are ancient and falling apart or cost a fiver from the discount store.

<----see avi

Opinion negated because I lift at home.





Carry on with fashion thread.

[KeepDatAssTight]

As long as you don't miss wife beater wednesday, you'll be fine OP

[dunemonkey]

It's not that everyone who has ever worn one beats their wife. It's that everyone who does beat their wife has worn one. lol

Ha! Scientifically: necessary, but not sufficient.

Ha! Home workout here too. (same avi as you!) I wear what ever the hell I want! Funny hats, flip flops, socks on my wrists (yes srs). I would do it in a gym too if that is what I was comfortable in. I am there to lift weights not put on a fashion show.

Guarantee, if you are wearing a wife-beater and squatting super heavy.....aint no one going to comment other then to say "nice squats"
