Men wearing tights at the gym

[gorillahung]

OK, I've seen a few guys wearing long spandex type of tights at the gym. I want to get a pair not because I want to show off my cute little ass but for practical reasons. I can't deadlift well in baggy clothes. The bar of course must remain in contact with my legs the entire lift. As the gym is colder this time of year, long pants are needed. In my younger days, there was an unwritten rule that men could not wear tights. Is this now acceptable? Dragging the bar up a pair of tights would be much easier for me. I thought I might get a pair only for that one day a week that I deadlift.

you can wear what you wish at the gym. wear what is comfortable for you and who cares what anyone else thinks.

personally with squats i hate shorts that give me wedgies

I always wear tights to deadlift and squat. It keeps the blood in your legs and they are extremely comfortable. My knees feel much better when squatting in tights then in shorts. Also, when wearing tights, the bar slides nicely right up your shin when doing deadlifts.

Who cares what other people think. If purchasing a set of tights helps your workout, go for it.

Who knows, there might be a couple cute girls who check out your bumb as an added bonus.

Do whatever you want man. Guys that are looking and making comments should be worrying about their own workouts.
