What do you normally wear in the gym?
What do you consider appropriate and inappropriate?
For me, I stick with basketball/gym shorts, a snug fitting tee, not compression tight, headphones, and running shoes.
I am not a big fan of flat-billed caps, the thin string tank tops, or flashy basketball shoes. Toe shoes I do not care for much either. I do occasionally wear a normal tank top and baseball cap if it is a morning work out and I do not feel like washing my hair beforehand. Also, as mentioned before, those compression shirts that are skin tight just look a little goofy to me.
I do not care much for gloves or any kind of external support when lifting. I have always incorporated a good grip workout into my routine so I have never had any issues and had to use straps. I also enjoy having rough hands. Then again, I do admit I have never deadlifted 700lbs so I will give some guys some credit. If you are toting around 60lb dumbbells then I think that is another story and a little embarrassing.
