Workout Gear

[Shupe]

This has always fascinated me. People seem to be very particular in what they wear to the gym. I normally just wear a pair of black shorts and I've got 4-5 singlets that I rotate through. Nothing special about them, just ones I've bought over the years, generally pretty plain.

My housemate will always train in track pants and a shirt. No idea why, he just feels more comfortable that way.

Others insist on wearing skins, certain brands, actual lifting merch etc. I'm hoping this can be a general thread discussing workout attire and if you see anything good/discounted then post links etc.

Thought these were pretty good - http://shop.mikeandgian.com/brands-en/mike-and-gian-en/college-en.html

I just go with singlets and shorts from Kmart, and a pair of flat soled cross trainers. As for other stuff, i have lifting straps but haven't used them in a year, don't use gloves or belts. I do laugh when i see guys wearing belts that wouldn't even be tight enough to hold your pants up!

Or they wear weight belts for the entire workout. Pointless, really. I also don't wear gloves or anything, but I do use straps when I'm hitting my max on deadlift.

I just remembered there is a similar thread floating around somewhere, Jab. Feel free to merge.

novice - sports t shirt
lean and good definition - singlet
biceps are getting too big - t shirt that is too small
body builder - straps

I work out at home so I rotate through all the Bintang singlets I seem to have collected somehow that I don't want to be seen wearing in public.

If I worked out at home, I would almost definitely do it naked.

One of my favourite bits of workout gear is my polar heart rate monitor. It links up with my phone so I get some pretty sweet info on my workouts.

It's nerdy and OTT but I love it

Any of my 10 colour coordinated Nike outfits will suffice

My housemates might not enjoy that... or maybe they would...

I would work out shirtless in summer except I need the singlet to run my ipod cable under so it won't snag on anything.

You're at home - set up some speakers and blast that s**t!

I prefer the earphones - helps me block out the world and get in the zone.

Belts are useful if you are lifting big weights. Lifting straps are a must when lifting big, use them to your advantage and lift as heavy as you can!

I've got about 10 and I've never bought one in my life. I don't even remember how I ended up with most of them.

I've been waiting for them to fall apart but they seem to be stubbornly well-made for Bali gear.

i assume the sweat and tears of the child laborer who made it keeps it preserved.

Literally did that for 2 years, if you start doing explosive stuff you need to put underwear on. Things move about too much. For the grind exercises it was fine though.

 

[tige19]

I tend to wear my skins which are under armour and/or various footy shorts from clubs I've played at.. I'm anal about matching the right stuff together, colours and what not. Nothing out there just your standard blue/black/grey tops but it all goes. It's just me with everything in life lol, deep thinker and very organised.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

I want these...

Broscience is so good.

 

[Superstar swan]

Addidas t shirt
Addidas tracksuit pants
Nike airmax shoes.

 

[No.19]

T-shirt/singlet
Footy shorts
Runners

 

[Engimal]

Just a tshirt and black or navy blue shorts. The only thing I'm particular about is shoes. A good pair of shoes makes workouts 10x better.
