who does this? i never seen it up until yesterday, and i thought that was pretty funny, he wasnt even that huge. Maybe if your a pro, but i think shirts and tank tops should stay on.     | ||

One guy at my gym with an amazing body was learning how to pose from a personal trainer. He went into the little gym area with all the mirrors took off his shirt and started posing. That is the only time I have seen it though. | ||

If i took my shirt off, I would get tossed out on my head lol. Not to mentioned laughed at by everyone. My gym is a rat infested shit hole. The mirrors in front of the squat racks have months of spit all over them.lol [This message has been edited by vdevil (edited April 05, 2001).] | ||

I train at a YMCA. We have two weight rooms. One is for pretty boys and the other is more hardcore. In the hardcore room it is common for guys to lose their shirts during summer. Technically the rules say you can't but we don't pay attention to the rules. I don't see anything wrong with losing your shirt, I mean the weight room is beside a basketball court with people playing shirts vs. skin. | ||

I saw one person do it once at my gym. He was some 17 tattooed studio gangster who looked like he had never worked out a day in his life. Needless to say he got laughed out of the gym. In a gym full of big guys its a ballsy thing to do. You better look pretty immpressive if your gonna take your shirt off | ||

Taking your shirt off in the gym is all right if you're big but using equipment without one's pretty disgusting. You can get ring worm or other skin shit when using benches or other equipment people sweat all over then you lay your bare back on it and contract genital warts or someshit. But I usually just go with my spandex biker shorts and purple leg warmers, with a tank cut off at the stomach, and of course my pimped out Richard Simmons head band. | ||

I agree with Super ... it's tolerable if you are MASSIVE! But if I saw some normal, big, even huge guy at my gym take their shirt off I would laugh. I'd be like who you trying to impress save it for the BEACH. And to answer you question I wear a shirt, sweater at times or tank top. *still laughing at SUPER's joke of what he wears* CLASSIC.

I agree...unless you're pro or serious NPC, leave the shirt on. Shit, we've all see muscular guys before, and believe me, we all have nipples.  ------------------ | ||

I HATE IT when people shed their shirts at the gym, and occasionally it will happen. You can tell if a guy is pretty buffed regardless of what he is wearing in most cases, and I think modesty says a lot about a lifter, and people in general. Its kinda like women, I would rather see pics of a woman in sexy lingerie rather than buck naked, it leaves something to the imagination. Every woman I know feels the same way about fellas, they can tell if you are "put together", and by not flaunting your shit, it is a turn on because they assume that your ego is in check. Just my $.02 | ||

If its quite in the gym where i work i dont mind if peeps take their shirt off. However its fu**ing disgusting when they leave their shirts off and do lets say flat bench. Seeing their backs covered in Zits (they juice) youd think they would have the common deceny to at least put some kind of material between them and the bench. Oh well nevermund. | ||

No shirt in gym? I'm sorry, but that's ultimately disgusting. Imagine all the squishing noise from the accumulated sweat. Imagine accumulated sweat from 100 people everyday. Imagine those 100 sweats touching your bare back. All those funky ass smell attach to your body will take years to get rid off. | ||

I wear a EXTRA large bagy sweat shirt with the top cut in it with tank T under it and would take the sweat shirt off once in a blue moon to cool at the end of workout People have asked me to take my shirt off because they can see you lift very heavy but they can't see just how big and thats the way I like it I know what I am under my cloths and thats what counts. | ||

Since I only normally wear a string tank on top, no need to take off the shirt, it's pretty much exposed anyhow | ||

There is a few guys in my gym who strip down to their posing trunks and pose in the back mirror. There is one little guy who takes off his shirt after every workout and looks at himself in the mirror for about 3 minutes and then goes to weigh himself. It is so pathetic! ------------------ | ||

Wear a string tank and there is no reason to take off a shirt....well, maybe for the abs. I know of no gyms where they are NOT required. | ||

i gotta add my two cents to this one. it's absolutely pathetic to go shirtless in a gym, busy or not. i don't care how big you are, you look like a self-centered, disillusioned loser. i can't believe guys actually think that they look cool walking around without a shirt! You think you look cool cuz people are staring? WRONG!! They're staring at you cuz they can't believe what a jackass you are. Leave the ego at home. Go to a gym to workout. ------------------ |
