Sleeveless shirts are great. None of that extra shirt gettin' in the way imo. Although it's nice to have for squats I guess.

Sleeves are mostly annoying with overhead stuff. And functionally, there's no need for sleeves.

Let's join the bros in their plight.

But still, who cares.

Was sumo deadlifting in my school's gym. I got some funny looks, and some guy approached me asking me if I was trying to deadlift, and why my stance was so wide, etc. Guess most people only know about conventional DL.

My everyday (and happen to be good gym shoes as well), are white lacostes (brag or beat?). So I pretty much always wear white socks. If I'm gonna wear dressier shoes then it's dark socks.

I know a guy who wears tanktops.

It's my uncle. He also wears sunglasses like this

And his vast, vast collection of tank tops are all teal, bright orange, or vivid yellow. Many of them have SUPER HILARIOUS slogans. Do I look like I care? Beauty is in the eye of the BEERholder lololol etc

Not judging, just stating random things.

(nb: i'm not quite sure what Ameritards call tank tops... or muscle t-shirts)

I've got a muscle t-shirts are optimal for lifting... I think I might start wearing one.

For reference, this is what aussies would call a muscle t

since we are talking about clothes. those of you who have to wear dress pants to work (and sit all day). do you buy pants specifically for work a little longer than you would otherwise? so the openings don't ride up so high? i just bought some pants that fit perfectly imo, but i feel like they show a dumb amount of leg when i sit down.

Black pants, black shoes and black cotton socks do the trick imo... Obv they ride up a little when sitting... but:

a) My legs are under a desk
b) My socks stop ladies walking by fainting at the sight of my sexualy masculine ankles

agree.

My wife got me a couple of these recently: http://www.championusa.com/workout-c...ession-t-shirt

I love them for any pulling or pressing type stuff because they keep your skin away from rubbing on other skin & stuff.

I have a friend who will work out and play ball wearing 15 year old Big Johnson t-shirts with the sleeves cut off.

Euros and youngins should search that.

Dude was squatting 135, but he was jumping at the top of each rep and clicking his heels together before landing. looks ridiculous as well as dangerous

Was pretty damn impressive, to say the least.

ask him if he can run the mile in under 5 minutes

I first wore muscle shirts under another t-shirt cause it would make bigger shirts fit better. Eventually 2 shirts while working out lead to just rockin the muscle shirt.

Tbf I have massive guns and shoulders that men and women of all ages like to stare at, so it's kind of like a public service.

Tbh though I really like wearing them cause they comfy and let my pits breath.

Fwiw I wear a tshirt over a tight dry fit and then tuck the sleeves under the dry fit, It removes any skin on skin that's annoying in the underarms along with stopping me from constantly pushing up my sleeves so that it doesn't feel like my rom is limited
