Who wears tank tops,
I wear Tank TOPS!
Who…wait now it’s a song, I wear them when I feel like it. I lift in them. I wear mostly biker associated graphics on them. Wife beaters are the ones you wear under dress shirts (if you own them). Wife beaters fall under the class of underwear to me and that is where they should be. HEY LOOK OVER THERE IN MY PIC!! A TANK TOP!! As long as it’s not the wife beater with a tomato sauce stain on the stomach …who gives a fuck.

I thought tank-tops were meant as undershirts anyway? If you are wearing underwear visible in public it doesn’t matter what you weigh – it’s just plain wrong!
Aside from that…I agree. Who friggin’ cares?! One should be glad that one can afford to contemplate the clothing selections of other individuals and not something else like…I dunno…where is ones next meal going to come from…?
I usually wear them as an under shirt since I have an abundance of them.
I don’t normally wear them out to the grocery store or anything. Just my personal preference. I do wear them sometimes while I’m at track practice.
I really don’t care what people think of what I wear. I wear what I find most comfortable.
I never wear one. If I’m lifting, I want a full t shirt on my back for squatting. I’ve found that tank tops often don’t have enough at the top and the bar can slide easier and will rip up your back if the bar has a tight knurling.
Maybe it’s my powerlifting background, but I always liked a t shirt under a squat suit or singlet.

…or when you’re taking pictures for your avatar?
In response to the actual thread, I wear them in the summer sometimes because I sweat like a fucking hog, and nothing else keeps me cooler than a wife beater.
I’m deeply sorry if I offend any of you by my blatant display of ‘underwear’. At least I’m wearing it for a functional purpose. I think that’s the first time I’ve used the term “functional” on here without sarcasm…

exactly
This ones for you Maveric.
I’ll cast my vote for who gives a fuck.
They are very comfortable. I wore them briefly, around the house and out in the yard, but realized that I don’t look good in them, so I stopped wearing them, for now. They are perfectly acceptable training attire, so who cares if some toothpick is wearing one in your gym? They are far less disturbing than a middle aged man in short-shorts, or the guys who hang out naked in the locker room. Yall are getting too pissy about what the people around you are doing.
Are these ok?

Thank you. This topic has come up several times and the point of it is: when it’s hot a tank top is fine. When you work out it is fine. Unless it is stained, ragged, or otherwise better suited to be a dust rag, it is fine. There is no law or code of ethics that says a tank top is taboo if you’re not muscular. So those that aren’t ripped don’t look good in them. That’s their problem. Why let it bother you? [/quote]
“The reality of the situation is that 90% of the young men in the “tank top” community have an average body weight of 165 pounds. Wearing this item will immediately allow them to bench 400 pounds and instantaneously lads pop out like a chicken trying to take off on a windy day. This is normally accompanied by a thick attitude and undying desire to test your patience, especially in the gym.”

Exactly.
I’m a part of the world that has a tropical climate. The gyms don’t…repeat…DON’T have air conditioning, and neither do the majority of the homes people live in (and if they do have it, they turn it on only at night…people out here are pretty poor).
Most of the guys in the gym actually train shirtless. I guess that would bother you, right? While I don’t do so, I can see why they do.
They keep me as cool as possible during the hot and humid weather here on a tropical island.
And if people look stupid, that is YOUR OPINION and if you allow these things to truly bother you, then perhaps you need to consider WHY you are so obsessed with what OTHER PEOPLE do.
If they look bad in them, that is their problem (and apparently yours as you’re into everyone elses business),not mine.
As for me…I don’t give a crap about tank tops/wife beaters/whatever…

(An afterthought: are you somehow jealous of these guys you are griping about? I mean…sheesh, man)

Your situation is clear an obviously understandable. If you read the original post you will see it is directed at the oxygen thieves taking up time in the gym imagining that the tank top will give them a boost. We have unnecessary incidents where there is to much attitude and not enough training in our gym.
Waiting for someone to finish up a set whilst wasting unnecessary time is annoying, as specially if it’s some arrogant high school kid sporting a tank top with skinny arms in the middle of the winter as an example. I am sure I am not the only one that relates to this. Many guys have stated that it’s not needed to wear a tank top if you know you have what it takes. I never pointed out no one should wear them.

Those types stay far away from me or humbly approach with caution. They do nothing to test my patience. Those are kids. I’m a grown-assed man.
