Why do people have to dress up like fucking retards when they go to the gym?

I just wear shorts and a big hoodie because I'm trying to cut, quit being a judgemental fag, if you paid attention to your sets as much as you do staring at people around you, you probably wouldn't be DYEL

...

me on the left

Closer to the truth than expected.

I swear every time I go to lift I see skinny high school kids wearing gym shark tank tops and slutty stacys jiggling their ass in gym shark yoga pants

ye theres only two people who wear gym shark in my gym, ones a dyel who does only meme exercises and the others a chick with an insane ass
dont mind the chick tbqhwyf

Because modesty is a rare thing nowadays, and the strongest/most skilled (oly lifts) people in my gym wear the plainest fucking clothes ever.

What people wear doesn't bother me, I'm not an autist. Unless it's a guy in assless chaps or something extreme, I couldn't bring myself to care.

>restraining your glutes inside pants
>not unleashing their true power with assless chaps

>adidas track pants
>nike training shoes
>nike breathing training t-shirt

There is no better fit for the the gym than this.

only acceptable gym attire.

I like to wear tank tops, not stringers, to more myself as well as see how development is coming along on various muscles. Also it helps me know if I'm putting on too much fat by letting me see how my vasular I am. If I can't seem veins on my shoulders or chest it's time to slow the bulk.

Hoodies are nice. Sometimes I need to shade my eyes from the light. I can flip the hood on and off at my leisure. Can't quite do that with a hat.

Lovely

Shirts and hoodies let me 'warm up quicker'. Sometimes its a bit too chilly wearing a tank top.

I bet you wear a tshirt and gymshorts. Faggot.

I wear a hoodie so I can hide my gains from sloots only wanting my cawk. I want a girl that appreciates my personality and not just my body.

Guy on left is ok by me, they're usually just really serious PLs

I like to wear tanks because otherwise my armpits get super sweaty but the guys that wear super hero shirts or gas ass singlets/ tanks that say TRAIN HARD EAT BIG and wear fitted hats with beats by dre are pretty goofy imo. Almost as bad as the people with tattoos, I want to lift around respectable members of my community not criminal degenerates that look like they attend monster truck rallies and carry a dale earnhardt pocket knife.

Same

Anyone else fall for the stinky as fuck drifit meme?

Gym shorts and tshirt in spring and summer
Hoodie and sweatpants for secret gains in fall and winter

The most retarded ones are those who wears caps

Excellent post

The gym I went to while I was at my old aparment had the biggest faggot who lifted there

>hoodie zipped up with hood on
>powerlifting belt around hoodie
>skin tight pants, usually jeans or camo colored slacks
>high-top basketball sneakers
>lifting gloves
>massive headphone speakers under hood, made it look like he had a cancerous mass growing from his head

Keep in mind this is in Houston, where its as hot and humid as it gets in the US.

This guy was clearly on roids - HUGE upperbody - but had tiny chicken legs. It was like watching a retarded cartoon character letch on all the girls while he circuit trained the machines and bench press with shit form.

He probably posts in /fraud/

Why do people walk around with belts on? If it's slack enough that you can walk around like that it's not going to do shit.

It's fun. That's all there is to it.

If you want to psychologize it, it's a display of self-awareness. We recognize that going to the gym for 1-2 hours a day, multiple days a week, every week in a ritualistic fashion for reasons that largely boil down to vanity is pretty autistic, so we try to mitigate that feeling and image by projecting a sense of not taking it "too seriously." One way of doing that is wearing funny or ironic shirts. Or super hero shirts. All that shit.

This desu

Why the fuck do people wear hoodies to the gym. Like you claim you don't care what the other people in the gym think and yet you put yourself through this unhealthy habit of wearing hoodies while working out. I guess it's mostly manlet faggots who think they are small and assume that wearing more fabric over their frail skin will give the illusion of more mass, understandable, but retarded

Serious answers aren't allowed on Veeky Forums anymore? Sounds like maybe you are the one who doesn't belong.

All chaps are assless

Your brain is reddit tier

>I'll just keep calling him Reddit

Why are the guys who into powerlifting always wear hoodies and squating with hood on? I swear there is one guy in the gym who always with hood on for some reason. Wierless headphones also.

Read that again. THAT is reddit, a middle brow 110 IQ brainlet self-aggrandizing while stroking his 5" cawk

There's a guy in my gym. He gained a lot of mass in ~18 months, he probably outsizes seid. He started from otter mode.
He's in his early twenties. He went completely bald in the last six months (creatinine?) He's obviously on gear too.
He wears ONLY tanks tops with writing like "EAT TRAIN SLEEP REPEAT" and "ZYZZ BRA" or "GOLD'S GYM" (doesn't exist in my country)
Once, while curling, he shouted something like "I feel them! I fell the BCAAs in my body!"
Once, after showering, he was going to get a post-workout shaker. The shaker fell and he spelt all the precious powder on the floor. There's a whey dispenser in the gym (at inanely expensive rates), he literally begged a bro to give him some change to get some whey or he'd have missed his "feeding window".
He got the notorious "The Rock" tattoo on his shoulder.
He's a manlet, I'd say something between 174 and 176 cm (not a terminal manlet, but still).
He didn't attend university and got a dead end job in a market.
He recently managed to get a gf. averagely fit body, man face. I've seen him recently instructing her to use the smith machine for one-harm behind-the-neck presses.
Few months ago I heard him whispering "yeah I'm just a lucky guy" to a bro for no apparent reasons.

Don't be like him.

Yeah im just a lucky guy is the code bruh

I wear these and a Reps for Jesus shirt and nobody will ever stop me.

tru

>I'm a closet homo, please stop me or let me choke on your cock

>closet

melbourne?

>>>>>>>>>Jogging in converse

I hate seeing fat/chubby guys in compression shirts. I just don't get the need

YOU'RE SO FUCKING GAY I WANNA DIE.

>Lift in the nude
24 h gym, mixing at 0148 on a Saturday morning with the carpark visible from my bench.

I was literally squatting balls out to 11/10 volume E European EDM until I saw the cleaners van pull up outside.

>psychologize

That's literally a reddit answer though. I always hated the stupid "hurr if I disagree with this it's reddit" meme but this reads like something a retarded redditor would write to excuse his immense faggotry. It's actually nothing more than a bunch of insecure losers trying to imitate a retarded fad that was born out of pure narcissism. People who want to pretend they are passionate about fitness but just buy shit to compensate for the lack of that true passion

>24 h gym
>0148 on a Saturday morning
>squatting balls out to 11/10 volume E European EDM

Not judging you, but you should question your life decisions tbqh

Normally I wear boardshorts and an athletic shirt with no logo or anything. Wrestling shoes or squat shoes depending on what I'm lifting. Sometimes I'll wear tights to show off my thicc glutes.

Its not a display of self-awareness you stupid faggot. People just like super heroes and puns

im 6ft3, 230lbs and i wear a tshirt + a hoodie, even in the summer
the reason is by the time my first exercise of the day is done, my tshirt, because it's a thinner material, is drenched in sweat. like literally it sticks to my body. the hoodie fabric is thicker and absorbs a lot of the sweat

it's not even a shame thing, its a thing of "hmm im dripping sweat from my chest every time i bend down to pick a weight up, ffs"

so it's either 1 hoodie, or wearing 3-4 shirts and changing them in a 1:15hour period of my workout

i fucking HATE what the guy on the right is wearing, go shirtless or put on a shirt you fucking mongoloid

delete this urgently

>sometimes I need to shade my eyes from the light
Fuck off you cellar dwelling shitlord

I wear superhero shirts because I want to be a superhero...autistic yes, weird overwrought means of ignoring autism no

>he can't even run airing to his toe
no wonder he stayed to his films, he had no chance against even novice boxers

>Wearing a sweatshirt during the summer
>Complains about being soaked in sweat

Do you have brain problems?

There's a guy at my gym who goes from left to right. He shows up wearing a hoodie, does one set on the bench, jumps off goes to the restroom and takes off the hoodie and now has a reg shirt on. Then does another set, jumps off and comes back in a stringer.
I was worried he was going to end up naked if he did a 5x5.

Makes perfect sense, he's going to sweat either way because he is actually lifting.
The sweatshirt makes it not go all over the equipment and makes it a non-issue, besides perhaps chaffing.

Ya just slipped a Freud son
Wasn't even a slip though
Just showing it all the the world

>this bhoul can't even greentext right

So you have to bench 3plt to wear a stringer?

Tank top and good quality sweat pants.

I buy the tank tops from clothing stores when it's winter and they are $10. I used to buy shitty jogger/sweats that cost like $20 but they all shrunk and look ridiculous now. Invested in a couple pair of $60 adidas sweat pants and haven't looked back.

Hate working out in shorts, live in Canada though so it's never steaming hot.

I wear a sleeveless shirt and gym shorts n days i work upper and an old tee and gym shorts on leg and cardio days

>big hoodie because I'm trying to cut

You're retarded.

I think Veeky Forums has reached the point where any amount of effort applied to anything is dismissed as "self-aggrandizing."

I was just writing the way I talk.

>people wear goofy clothes to the gym to show they don't take themselves or working out too seriously

Better? Small words easier for your brain to process?

>It's fun. That's all there is to it.
Ain't you read good, Cletus?

>primark vests/tshirts or old clothes + swim shorts
>implying i need to show off when i'm in the temple of Iron and prefer to hide my gains from jealous goblinz

>Sometimes I need to shade my eyes from the light.

Do you have fucking rabies or something you mangey scruff?

No just pic related

>primark
Are you a girl?

Dress to get mires. Qt mires can increase your lifts by 20% or more.

This unironically.

can u explain what this means? im a fat fuck

Because my faggot gym has the air conditioning units directed downwards and set way too cool.

Also wearing a hoodie is less autistic than using elbow sleeves.

>first started lifting when I was a skinny little faggot, like 119lbs
>asked some guy at work for tips
>he told me to buy a shirt like the guy on the right (one of those loose vests)
>told me that 'your chest has to be able to expand, otherwise the new muscles will go inwards and attach to your heart'
>felt scared of that
>bought like 10 of those vests
>they all had slogans on them like 'Today I train, Tomorrow I pain' but the word pain crossed out and replaced with pain again (so like I am always working out)
>felt pretty good the first few times I worked out
>eventually noticed people looking at me
>one day I am doing deadlifts whilst wearing a vest that says 'show off the chest, blow off THE REST'
>some big chad walks past me
>jumps backwards really fast
>looks at me
>'WOAH DUDE YOU BLEW ME OFF I MUST BE THE REST'
>hear raccous laughter from like 10 people
>tfw stopped working out for like 5 months after
>started again in hoodie like guy on left

this. the only reason to go to the gym is to shower and drop soap

>'Today I train, Tomorrow I pain

TOP KEK
10/10
would use

Manlet

there was some dude who always looked like an anime character in my college gym

he unironically deadlifted every 45lb bumper plate in the gym

i use this

gonna make it?

I lift in this

probably just guys who couldn't make the football/rugby team and need attention so they do weights and wear retarded "LOOK AT ME" clothes.

Don't worry its a phase that all young men go through, its one of the first steps to our metamorphosis as men, ie: its a phase they'll soon get over.

>tfw to intelligent

I have no idea what you're trying to convey.

No, my friend.

This is how someone starts to vocabulize after a long-stint on the Reddit forums.

Just the same way you don't see posts like the ones in this thread, on Reddit. You don't see posts like yours on Veeky Forums.

The other poster is correct. It oozes middle-brow pretentiousness and an artificially enlarged ego due to thinking that you're among other "sophisticated people" on Reddit.

The truth is, you're fronting for your lack of real intelligence by using ridiculously verbose statements to mask your lack of real insight into the matter.

>If you want to psychologize it, it's a display of self-awareness. We recognize that going to the gym for 1-2 hours a day, multiple days a week, every week in a ritualistic fashion for reasons that largely boil down to vanity is pretty autistic, so we try to mitigate that feeling and image by projecting a sense of not taking it "too seriously."

Can be condensed down to:

>Because we don't take this shit seriously. /thread

>Better? Small words easier for your brain to process?

It's exactly this type of shit that outs you as a redditor. The only people who obsess on certain qualities are the people who don't have those qualities.

The only people who put down others for not being as percievabley smart as them are redditors.

The only people who put down others for not being as percievabley big as them are DYLEs.

Go to Hacker News and start posting your pseudointellectual nonsense. Those guys legitimately have high IQs and don't need to compensate with big words and empty statements.
