    What do you wear to the gym? (to lift)

    ...and why?

    I wear sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt because it's comfortable and I'm not looking to show off.... plus, there are no hotties at my gym. Maybe a few milfs though

    Khaki pants, and a T-shirt. I'm not trying to impress anyone at our gym, and I don't really have time to change into anything between workouts, so I workout in what I train my people in. If you are looking at what women are wearing in the gym, than you aren't working hard enough. A gym is to workout, get nuts, lift huge amounts of weight, and be intense. It is not a social place to chat with the hottie on the treadmill. Now after you are done working out, that is a different story. That is the time to go over, and get her number, but make sure your workout is over because you don't want a woman bringing you down.

    Rainbow stripped nuthugging spandex pants, a lime green tanktop tucked into a lifting belt, and kung fu shoes. Okay, actually, that's not me, but this crazy dude who lifts in my gym. It's disgusting.

    I wear a full body tube top.
    Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

    At a gym i used to go to there were three or four 'blokes' that wore t-shirt, tight blue jeans, belt (average jeans belt, not lifting) and normal black everyday shoes! - Though obviously that sort of, erm, 'attire' was not allowed in the gym they often turned a blind eye. Needless to say i don't go to that gym anymore.
    I'm not moaning, i'm having an opinion.

    Basketball shorts and usually a wifebeater. I've been working out at home lately, though, so just shorts.

    I either wear bball shorts and a white T.... Wind pants and a white T. Or if I am REALLY lazy when I wake up, I will go up there in my pajama pants and a white T. About twice a week I will wear my gym logo's tanktop. I wear Reebok walking shoes to work out in. There comfortable as hell.
