DO WEAR
basketball shorts
sweatpants
1/2 tights
DO NOT WEAR
shorts over tights
jeans
running shorts
/fit/ unironically thinks wearing yoga pants and superhero t shirts to do their epic squats is cool. ask /fa/ or something
>>37270889
It's not a fashion show. Wear whatever as long as it's not something blatantly dumb like jeans.
try running shorts or anything that cuts right above the knees
unless you're some basketball american or a fat slob you should
never
ever
wear basketball shorts (unless they cut above the knee)
you'll thank me later
>>37270955
you're retarded,and this is coming from somebody who actually works in a gym.
>>37270901
>>37270955
U guys wanna hash this out?
Must be an American thing or something
Everywhere I've been basketball shorts are like the standard "I picked the first kind of shorts I could find to exercise" attire
>>37270889
>he fell for the meme
just wear the fucking basketball shorts or whatever shorts you want, for fuck sake guys
>>37270889
Wear shorts that are cut off above the knee doesn't matter how high up or low just as long as it doesn't go past your knees. You can also wear joggers or regular sweatpants. And for shirts just wear any old t shirt
>>37270889
Wear anything that's comfortable and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. I go with loose-ish shorts that end above the knee.
There is a special place in hell for people who spend any amount of time caring about what others are thinking of them.
I personally wouldn't wear them as they'd get in the way while squatting, but if they don't or you don't squat then wear whatever the fuck you want, senpai.
Basketball shorts are the best
Compression ahit is for weak faggots
Sweats are for old men and bums
Jeans and polos are for pajeets in the streets
The only people I see that wear basketball shorts have no legs
>>37270962
you work at a gym
you may see people walk in an out but you ever ask yourself what makes a person pleasing to the eye vs "this guy is a slob"
you look at the proportions of their clothes and how they fit.
>>37270988
just how fat are you? basketball shorts are really really flexible and have so much slack,i could squat for triple rom with them if my joints could handle it.
>>37270998
i found the fatty,lets see you
>>37270974
>just as long as it doesn't go past your knees
why?
>>37271005
i dont pay much attention to peoples' clothes,i just make sure they wear shoes that are suitable for a gym enviroment (sport shoes and not muddy or very dirty) and suitable clothing (no rigid jeans)
>>37270901
DO NOT WEAR
>running shorts
why?
>>37271017
t-thats for black people
>>37270974
this guy get it
grow the fuck up men.
the faster you realize you if and when you wear shorts they should cut above the fucking knees you'll one day learn a thing or two about dressing like a grown up
>>37270889
>not having joocy quads to show off

muay thai shorts
Seriously though my favorite shorts to workout in are Old Navy mesh shorts. Cheap, flexible, and aren't super long.
>>37271066
>they're too short for lifting
have you ever tried squatting? Most bball shorts are too long for lifting properly
>>37273162
