Why do powerlifters/strongmen/bodybuilders wear those fanny packs when training, etc?
like some wear those ridiculous clown pants or back-to-front baseball caps? i use one to keep my car keys, mobile and notebook and pen in, but i don’t wear it while lifting. i just carry it around like a bag. useless fact-did you know that outside the US the word “fanny” is slang for vagina?
if they got biker shorts and a tank top on where else are they gonna keep their juice?
hehe… Yeah,I live in the USA and about 6 years ago I was in Scotland for a few months. I went “10 pin” bowling with a Scottish friend. I hadn’t seen a fanny pack in the month that I had been there, and I made a comment to my friend about how stoopid this particular woman looked wearing a fanny pack whilst bowling. Apparently I was speaking louder than I had thought… the whole place FROZE and stared at me. The two guys with her wanted to rip me 17 new assholes, until my friend hastily explained to them that I was a dumb american who didn’t know better. :o) hehe… minor cultural differences.
in the U.S. fanny more or less means butt, but you wear it in front not in back. oh well, maybe those guys keep prepared vitamins in their, in case they need an emergency dose.
The only legit reason to wear a fanny pack in the gym is to hold your CD player…if there isn’t a headphone cord coming out of it, the pack is just a sign that the wearer is a member of the doofi pack (“doofi” - plural of “doofus”.) I have to admit that even WITH the CD player it still looks mildly stupid, but until they get the price of MP3 players down, what else can you do?
They’re known as bum-bags in the UK and I’ve no idea why anyone would want to wear one!
To carry your Glock 19 of course
here’s a thought even though i don’t wear a fanny pack, my partner does. he keeps his wallet and keys in there since it would be uncomfortable to wear in your pockets, not to mention that stuff easily falls out of the pocketsor some of the shorts don’t have pockets. Some people don’t like to use the lockers or put their keys at the front desk. I figured we could focus on more important things like proper training.
