Wearing hoodies in the gym

Whats that all about? The tracksuit hoodies I am referring too

Is it about being warm

bucketybuck · 05-01-2017 6:16pm

I can think of one or two better ways to warm up in the gym.

Alf Veedersane · 05-01-2017 6:31pm

Giving a monkeys what someone wears in the gym. What's that all about?

HandsomeDan · 05-01-2017 6:33pm

I thought it was to cause you to sweat more. Lose more weight?

Having time to pay attention to other people. What's that about?

Personally I wear a hoodie to the gym when its cold.

Much the same way as I wear a hoodie outside when its cold.

Sweating more just means losing water and therefore dehydration.

I couldn't give a monkeys what people wear in the gym most of the time. The hoodie thing bamboozles me though. Saw a fella yesterday wearing a sleeveless t shirt that had a hood. What's the point of that.

Maybe these guys think they look gansta with the hoods? Trying to attract the eastern euro dudes.

Why do you care?

How about mind your own business.

Been going to the gym for over 30 years. Can't recall ever being cold.

boardsuser1 · 05-01-2017 8:15pm

I wear a hoodie in the gym every day, I'm not the only one. I sweat like a pig as a result but that's for another discussion.

Wow you must really work out hard...

You're awesome.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 05-01-2017 8:30pm

Just lads thinking they look hardcore, nothing to do with being warm in the gym. Not something which would bother me, kinda like lads walking around wearing lifting belts and gloves, or Tapout gear.

I've even seen lads come into Northwood wearing MMA gloves LOL.

the clothing a woman wearing can greatly enhance my perving experience.

also I do see many fashion victim looking like clowns....so yeah I'd care.

not to mention the die-hards training in jeans etc...

dunno what's the issue of him noticing and questioning it.
i often wondering if hoodie wearers are too hot in my gym cos I'd be.

Well only in the gym. It's why I go there. I keep my socializing for other times of the day.

A little tip. If you are cold while exercising you aren't doing it right.

You're being very defensive.

Why do you wear hoodies in the gym?

Silane · 05-01-2017 8:35pm

Because Rocky wore his hood up when he worked out and he beat Ivan Drago, so it's kind of a no brainer, it obviously makes you well hard.

ravima · 05-01-2017 8:35pm

I wear a hoodie to the gym, standard penny's hoodie and occasionally a branded one. When I'm warm enough it comes off.

God I'm so hardcore. I'm just screaming for attention.

Who cares what's written on someone's hoodie? Or even if they wear one? I normally stay well away from the "fitness" forum here because of how poisonous it is. I see things haven't changed.

Lighten up ffs.

Because i get out of a cold car. Go into a cold gym. After I'm warmed up it comes off.

Look at me being such a wanker.

I do the same, seems to have touched a nerve with you though.

I can't imagine caring enough to question anything related to what people are wearing. That's all.

I notice and question how long he/she /they are going to be using a rack. That's about it, tbh.

Silane · 05-01-2017 8:44pm

Are we talking about just wearing a hoodie, or walking around with the hood up?

I was assuming with the hood up. Can't see anyone posting unless the hood was up

wandatowell · 05-01-2017 8:49pm

Forget wearing a hoodie in the gym, its only another item to wash.

drdeadlift · 05-01-2017 9:36pm

This is hilarious,i cant think of a better place to wear a hoodie.I warm up faster and i feel like im a skinny Kunt when i wear a tshirt.,

Amirani · 05-01-2017 10:16pm

I generally walk to gym, so need to wear something more than a t-shirt. Don't do cardio in the gym because I prefer running outdoors, so I'm there exclusively for lifting; never really get too warm. Hood down the whole time, except when squatting because it gets in the way otherwise.

Don't see the big deal.

You seem very defensive. Its ok, you can wear a hoodie if you want.

It does look silly though.

This x 10

I squat with the hood up half because it gets in the way, half because I squat embarrassingly low weight so I prefer to have tunnel vision.

Yeah tights on, hood up and the biggest most impractical set of headphones on the market seems to be the new uniform.

That sort of explains things. I've always changed at the gym & showered & changed there when done. I wasn't really thinking of going already in gym gear. Makes sense

For all y'all giving out about hoodies and tights, you'd better be colour coordinated or you're no better than animals.

And not cool animals like panthers.

Slugs.

This thread is the exact reason that people don't go to the gym! You get judged now on what you wear as well as everything else?

HandsomeDan · 06-01-2017 11:56am

Stay on the cardio side of the gym and you'll be fine. It's the weights guys that are suspect.

Not in my experience.

The guys lifting the heaviest weights are, more often than not, the soundest ones.

Nervous Wreck · 06-01-2017 11:58am

The entire content of this thread makes me very sad for the state of the (sometimes lack of a) fitness community in Ireland.

whoopsadoodles · 06-01-2017 11:59am

I wear my hoodie til I warm up. Then I take it off.

I'm in a small gym that's freezing at 6am.

If I'm warming up back squats I might even put my hood up, depending on how thick the hood is.

Never thought much about it.

Lukker- · 06-01-2017 12:06pm

Wearing a hoodie is gay.

I train like the ancient Greeks, naked and covered in olive oil
