Did I miss the boat here or what? There are some guys in my gym who are always wearing these REALLY short workout shorts. Especially the guys who run track or play soccer (I workout in a college gym)
Did I walk through a time warp back to 1975 or something?

LOL if you've ever run on a treadmill in a busy gym you'd know why.
Although I'd never wear to lift weights though.

I hear ya, I see people at my building downtown jogging around in short shorts all the time.. seriously... nobody needs to see your hairy, jiggly, white inner thighs jogging around.. and to another point, why the hell are you jogging around downtown where the air pollution from traffic is probably cutting 10 years off your life from the heavy breathing due to the jogging.... :rollingmyeyes:
yeesh lol.
I dont believe in shorts on men higher than 1" above the knees lol.knocked down seven times, get up eight.

I dunno, I guess if you were doing a whole lot of running theyd be comfortable, but yeah, I'd NEVER wear em to lift weights, especially squats or bench or something where one of your soldiers might try to march out on you. Actually I'd never wear them period, I just think they look fruity, but I guess it's not a fashion contest in the gym, huh?

Agree on the jogging in traffic though, much worse than passive smoking apparently.

Dude I was the same this time last year, I used to sneer at runners and such like. On a treadmill you can get absurdly warm if your doing a decent pace as there is no moving air to cool you down.

soccer players and runners never stopped wearing short-shorts
I don't have a tuxedo that fits anymore because my chest and my biceps are too big.

I WEAR SHORT SHORTSOriginally Posted by The_Fuhrer
They're great to run in, and great for working your legs because you're not restricted. I dont make fashion statements at the gym i just go there in whats most comfortable for me to workout in.

I wouldn't wear short shorts, and I would prefer not to see guys wearing very short shorts. On the other hand, overlong baggy shorts are stupid too, but that was just another stupid trend, no doubt started by idiot basketball players.

I agree on the point that I don't wanna see guys with shorts so short their nuts are hanging out. But hell on leg day I will shorts that are about 4-5 inches above my knees. But I also don't wear shorts that are rainbow colored from the 70's and a shirt that says "Love Life!" or some other saying like that.
On leg day I like to wear shorter shorts like that and like an NPC rag top or something. But I don't wear tiny shorts out and about.
But I also think it is queer when these kids wear shorts down to their ankles. Hell that looks worse than short shorts. Anyway I am short and stocky at only 5'7" so shorter shorts (around knee level is what I usually wear out) looks okay.

I wear short shorts. Kind of.
I'm 6'3" and I wear plain CHEAP russel athletic shorts size XL. They don't go all the way to my knees, and my sister always makes fun of me, but I don't care. They're comfortable and CHEAP and the last forever. And they also have pockets which is convenient. Highly reccommended if you don't care how short your shorts are or if you're less than 6 foot i would guess.

I bet it's not comfortable to lift in. The guy was probably some basketball-crazed moron who wanted to be like the stupid basketball players he idolizes.Originally Posted by Flex500

I agree. I dont wear the knee length shorts anymore myself. I did when i was 13. But I dont wear the shorts where the junk hangs out. I wear boxers and depending on the weather stuff is usually hanging out the leg. A lot of short shorts are shorter than boxers. I wear shorts that are probably 5-6 inches above the knee when sitting and 2-3 inches when standing. If sitting causes the genitals to fall out ( sorry i dont wear bikini underwear), the shorts are too short.Originally Posted by Beverly HillsNo sig

Get picked last in gym class or something? Actually basketball players wore short as hell shorts up until the 90s. Look at the 80s, long long socks and short short shorts with the slits.Originally Posted by TimNo sig

No, I've actually never been picked on before. I just think that people who play organized basketball on any level are some of the most arrogant, elitist ****heads around. **** you. Not to mention, I hate the sport of basketball.Originally Posted by bigbutnothuge
