for one i couldn’t give a fuck what some woman tells me she likes unless im married to her.
secondly, if you need to wear a tanktop/wifebeater to see how buff you are then you need to lift more.
Personally i wear a long sleeve shirt because the sheer fucking unadulterated awesomeness of my physique would cause all the men to commit seppeku on their barbells, hang themselves from the lat pull down machines and all others would simply bang their heads on the nearest machine till they rupture something. meanwhile every woman would prostrate themselves before me tearing the spandex from their scandily clad bodies in hopes that they would be chosen to carry my seed and give birth to an entire race of motherfucking Kwisatz Haderach’s
…and cause i like having sleeves to wipe my sweat off my forehead with.

I do sometimes get distracted by guys with visible severe body acne (hide it please) and guys in wife beaters with gyno. IMO if you are REALLY noticing what others are wearing, how focused are you on what YOU are doing?[/quote]
So you notice guys with severe acne but you find it hard to believe when people focus on what others are wearing? It looks like you don’t work out as hard as you should be. Also if I had severe acne on my arms or something and I liked to wear sleeveless shirts, f you, I’m going to continue to wear these shirts. I don’t care if you are distracted by my acne. Stop looking at me!
In all seriousness I have time between sets to check out what other people are doing. I’m not so focused that I only thing about my next set. My eyes tend to wander from place to place. I would still consider my workout to be pretty intense as well.
So I don’t hijack this thread…
I tend to wear short sleeve Ts, however I want to start wearing sleeveless. I sometimes feel my shoulders are restricted with the Ts.
The gym is the only acceptable place to wear a tank top – anywhere else, and you look like white trash.
This topic also gives me a nice segue to talk about another dumb thing I see in the gym: hats. There’s a good chance that if you wear a hat to the gym, you’re a douchebag.
Rico Suave, 6’1, 185, training 1 year. The beauty of the internet. I have a feeling you wouldn’t have such a smartassed comment in real life. I have chunks of boys like you in my shit. Hit the gym frog.

I don’t understand your argument. What are you trying to say? I don’t give two shits who you are, or how big you are. I speak my mind over the internet and in real life. Firstly, what are you trying to address? I didn’t take a personal stab at you more so than you did to everyone else. Secondly, what does it matter how much I weigh or how tall I am? If i was 6’3 300 pure muscle would you agree with me? Thirdly, I’m not here to argue, I am simply stating what I do in the gym. Why are you trying to personally attack me on how I look? You’re really classy.
Edit: ‘hit the gym frog’? What the hell do you think I’m doing. I have to start somewhere. Jeez.

I don’t have airconditioning in my gym, so in warm weather I’ll usually wear an old shirt that I’ve cut the sleeves off.
It’s purely a comfort thing. I don’t mind either way, but I find that upperbody work is more comfortable with bare arms.
Plus it makes me look really big so then afterwards, I go outside and direct traffic for an hour or 2.

Hahaha.
Personally I could care less what somebody is wearing. I just wear athletic shorts and a cut off t-shirt. Nobody has gone up to me yet going, “You really should wear a shirt with sleeves when you lift weights.”
Arnold once said something along these lines:
The bigger you get, the less you wear clothes that show off your muscles.
He used this metaphor:
The guy that buys a new BMW wants to race it around going 110 and show off while the guy in a Ferrari cruises around the freeway at 60. He has nothing to prove; if he hits the accelerator, he’ll be passing that BMW shortly.
I have a few T-shirts and no-sleeve T-Shirts, whatever they’re called, not wife beaters, that I work out in. I just change into my gym shorts and whatever workout shirt I brought with me after school and go to work out.
I like the sleeveless shirts on arm and shoulder days because they feel less restrictive, but it’s not a big deal. I just wear whatever is clean.
I don’t really give a shit what people in the gym that I don’t even know think. If someone has a problem with how anyone in the gym dresses, they are some nosy motherfuckers and need to focus on their workout.
I’ve never seen what anyone wears brought up though, so it’s not really an issue. I work out with no shirt on when I work out at home because my basement is cold and it feels good… who the hell cares. Wear what you want.

That must be paraphrased because that is way too coherent of a sentence for Arnold…
Yea, I didn’t feel like digging up the original quote, but here is it:
"It’s like you have a little BMW-you want to race the hell out of this car, because you know it’s going 110. But if you see a guy in a Ferrari or Lamborghini, they slide around at 60 on the freeway because they know if they press on that accelerator they are going to go 170. These things are the same in every field.

I would have replaced the Ferrari with a CBR1000 motorcycle.

No way.
I can go 170 in the Ferrari driving with one hand, listening to XM Radio, and the climate control set at 65 degrees. You may or may not be swallowing bugs on your little zip bike.

I can go 200+ faster.
