[instantneedles]

Since theres basically a thread for everything else, thot id make a workout apparel thread. Post info and good deals on workout gear, anything from shirts, pants, waist belts, straps, weightlifting shoes etc in this thread.
So to start it off, what do you guys where to workout?

[ShadowBun]

I where under armor
usually the loose kind

[TypeRNammer]

Wear :troll:

[skiiipi]

Since i work for sportchek, i'm pretty well equipped....
usually Under Armor "Fitted" Sleeveless Tee, with Just a basic UA shorts
Or the Nike Pro Combat "Fitted" Sleeveless Tee

For Bikram I wear either Core Shorts by UA, or Nike Pro Combat Compression shorts, and sometimes with a UA "Compression" top.

I find UA's compression line to be "thicker" than the Nike Compression line, Nike is definitely more breathable, but UA offers more compression.

The UA's "fitted" line seems to fit much better than Nike's "Fitted" line, but also about $10 more both retail and cost.

For footwear, i wear Asics Gel Kayano for Gym/Running, and Salomon Speedcross 3 for Grouse Grind/Trail running.

Gloves just basic Harbinger Pro Wrist Wrap

[SkinnyPupp]

I'm looking for shorts that don't cling to the knees. Not the running shorts where your balls hang lower than the legs, but not soccer length either. Any ideas? Since you work at sports check, maybe you are familiar...

All the shorts they sell here have like a 12" inseam, so unless you wear them at your chest, they hang low and get in the way

[RRxtar]

Am also looking for what to wear for shorts. Currently wearing old board shorts and roll the legs up for squarts and other leg exercises but its not ideal

I've got a bunch of sleeveless fitted underarmor-type 'drywear' shirts from marks that i wear.
Harbinger gloves from sport chek
Everlast belt from Pricess Auto for $10 that i dont use too often

Bought a pair of black stretchy boardshorts from Costco. Made by "Redsand". Super stretchy in every direction so they don't bind up during squats. They were cheap too, less then $20 if I remember correctly.

I don't know what they are called off the top of my head, but I wear the UA shorts that are shorter than bball shorts but definately. Longer than soccer shorts, they are super light weight, no liner for $29.99 retail. Come in navy, black. Or red.

If u don't mind. Spending a bit more, the UA combine training series has a short that sits slightly above the knee for me and is CRAZY light weight, and drys super quick, but at $39.99 a pair retail, its a bit pricy

[SkinnyPupp]

Wonder if I can find those here... I see a lot of skinny people wearing these wacky tight clothing with pieces of rubber all over them, but I don't think they are under armor

[racerman88]

I wear any dri-fit shirts and shorts.
Harbinger gloves have been very good.

[spideyv2]

loose fitted tank top and shorts

[pinn3r]

most of the time, it's just a crappy loose t-shirt & sweat/track pants for me lol

[hal0g0dv2]

orginal lu lu v necks i got a couple left, i have posted before. best fitting v neck ever. I have a grey one and it is stretched in the lats lol. love that t-shirt

[BinsentoW]

Cheap sweats that costed me $15 for 2 pairs. I wouldnt dare wear them out anywhere else. But since its getting hot now, Ive been wearing shorts
And a plain white hanes tee shirt.

[instantneedles]

Nike Dri-Fit Fly Short - Men's - Training - Clothing - Black/Black (http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:137042/sku:71638010/)

I have these Nike Speed-fly shorts that I use in the gym. 10" inseam so they sit right at the mid-point of my knees. Light, and I can do deadlifts in them pretty okay. Pockets are a bonus as I have some Under Armour shorts that are like an 8" inseam with no pockets.

[SkinnyPupp]

those look really long though.. hmm they have 'training' specific shorts, that's what they need here

As annoying as the crossfit thing is, it is helping that companies are starting to market to them. Reebok has already started doing it here with their flexible shoes. I hope other functional clothing makes it here too!

[apl_lb]

Picked up some $6.00 shorts from Walmart in the states a while back. Just wear those and a thin tee that can breathe.

[DiiCii]

Anyone know where I can get a pair of track pants for a decent price? I am fairly short.. About5'6" im a 29 waist size and small fits me perfectly but it's so lengthy Q.Q

[Araaadi]

orginal lu lu v necks i got a couple left, i have posted before. best fitting v neck ever. I have a grey one and it is stretched in the lats lol. love that t-shirt

Dude, I love my lulu v necks, I have the plain gray and plain black, they fit so well and are so comfortable that I wear them clubbing.



For gym i just wear any dry fit or ua stuff i buy in the seattle outlets, for shoes i wear my free runs.

[red kryptonite]

Tops and shorts:
Lululemon SilverScent (anti-stink) line on weekdays cuz i go straight to work from the gym, leaving my sweaty clothes in my Gymbag. And because they are made from sliver nylon, bacteria don't grow causing it to stink up the car and bag. Highly recommended for those on the go!
Nike Dri-Fit on weekends

Shoes:
Nike Free Runs on running cardio days
Nike Air Max on biking cardio days.

[heero78]

UA short sleeves + UA fleece pants/shorts

[SkinnyPupp]

I tried converse and I don't get how people can do it. They are so fucking heavy! It's like wearing lead on your feet.

[gdoh]

^maybe you should work on legs and they wouldn't be so heavy :troll:

[instantneedles]

I thot the regular chuck taylor is supposed to be really light.... I definetly wouldnt use it for cardio, but it would be awesome to do my lifts with em.. Squats especially

[G-spec]

gotta jump in and tell you guys who sweat a lot and are into dri fit stuff, don't buy Nike's new dri fit shirts, they are absolute garbage, I have nike dri fit shirts from 10 years ago that perform way better than what they're selling nowadays.

Nike has gone green and is making most of their dri fit stuff now from minimum 70% + recycled waterbottles, and the result is horrible, the shirts don't evaporate sweat nearly as well as before it's a fcking mess. for example After a full night of basketball my Lance Armstrong LiveStrong dri fit cutoff was literally lookin like I had dipped it in a pool, not one spot on it was dry...

some professional sports teams across the world have refused to wear these

[Matlock]

Chuck Taylor hi-tops are really light and the soles are firm and flat. Which makes them good for squatting and especially good for deadlifting.

If you think they're heavy, well that doesn't matter because your foot should be planted during squats and deadlifts.

On the deadlift you want a sole the is firm and flat, not squishy and not raised on any part of the foot.

Is there anything special about real Chuck Taylors? No. They are simple, but expensive for what they are just because Converse is owned by Nike. Knock offs or fake ones from China would do the same thing for a fraction of the price.

Barefoot does just as well if your place of training allows.

[dhari]

I got a pair of Russel shorts from the BCIT shorts that I love to death. longer than soccer shorts and shorter than boarding style. not baggy and not tight. cost me like 20bucks as well.

[RRxtar]

Ill never wear Chuck's on principle since I cant stand the mentality they cater to with the majority of emo hipster phaggots who wear them.

[G-spec]

^
I find the fact that hipsters have hijacked that brand myself as repulsive as anyone, for the real og's who know what it really is, this is what Chucks are all about right here
(even casual sports fans should be able to recognize these two men)

http://www.x929.ca/shows/newsboy/wp-content/uploads/Wilt_Chamberlain.jpg

[PJ]

Shorts - Adidas climacool or the SUPER light UA shorts
Shoes - UA

Comfy shorts and shoes are essentials for me, matched with whatever shitty t-shirts that I don't care about

[etodac]

What do you recommend for shirts if you sweat a lot, other than those 10 year old dri fits?

[G-spec]

^ I don't know, I haven't tried any other brand out there since I usually wear custom made basketball jerseys when I play sports.

Maybe these other guys can chime in who have tried Under Armor or Adidas Clima Cool stuff, I doubt it can be any worse than the new shit Nike is putting out....
it's funny how they actually even have the balls to charge more for it because it's "green" but in reality is even cheaper to make than before

[gabi]

anyone know where to find Gasp stuff locally? I'm hesistant to buy online unless I know how it fits

[rageguy]

Top: UA Combine sleeveless. It's very light and very breathable. It's considered regular fit so it is not tight. Very comfy.
Bottom: UA Microshorts 2. It has pockets compared to the old ones and is also very light. It is short, almost reaches the knee. Perfect for gym.

[nns]

Adidas Adipower lifting shoes are legit

[Wykydtron]

I run/trail run/grind etc in Vibram 5 fingers. Love them to death.

[instantneedles]

^how much were they? I've always thought of getting a pair for squatting and deadlifting, or lifting in general but never got to it haha

[sas]

The 2012 Adipower are the best Oly shoe I've had to date. Initially I was worried that with only 1 strap, my feet wouldn't feel secure and the shift away from the wood heel would not be as solid. I can you that, my feet have never felt more secure. The heel is incredible and literally locked in. For $136 and free shipping, it is a must buy if you guys squat regularly. Trust me, you will see PBs if you've been squatting with cross trainers. You will never go back. This is assuming you're high bar squatting. I'll admit that I prefer chucks for low bar PL squats.

The tongue also stays put - which was always an issue with the old Adistars which had a habit of shifting to either side. If I had to rank in order:

2012 Adipower
2008 Adistar
Nike Romaleo 1

http://www.mediafire.com/conv/b9c9ab5fbbeda473c47dd9ead1648b58370df1a3da30f1eb47 b73b59538997ba4g.jpg (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?xiy77l7kld0425h)

http://www.mediafire.com/conv/46df57c3655df1afe445207260f490cdb5e9c0a713a64e0751 a317275b1aa5114g.jpg (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?9shafzvj6bbchh4)

The heel is nearly identical. The Adistar heel is quite worn in this pic. I still like the carbon fiber finish. Many lifters commented on durability issues but I've had no issues. Training sessions are normally 2.5hrs 5-6x a week.

[red_sir]

Wow $136 is a really good price. If I only knew about that deal a few days ago... Just ordered a pair of Rogue weightlifting shoes. Thought the Adipowers were $200 and couldn't justify it for my needs.

[sas]

For everyone that is interested in the Adipowers for $136, you have 2 days to decide.
Go to: shopadidas.ca and enter in coupon code, "GOCANADAGO".

Again, even if you don't consider yourself a weightlifter, such a great shoe for squats. The Rogues are fine- they were actually my very first pair.
On a side note, what are the MISC shirts all about?

[Wykydtron]

^how much were they? I've always thought of getting a pair for squatting and deadlifting, or lifting in general but never got to it haha

Mine are the Spyridions that were $145 tax in. They are a little 'fancier' than some of the others so cost more. The ones that would be great for lifting are about $100. Personal trainer I know wears em when lifting and recommends them.

[Jordanl250]

These are pretty good too apparently, slighly cheaper than the Adipower's

http://www.roguefitness.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/header_sm_image/0dc2d03fe217f8c83829496872af24a0/r/o/romaleo-bw-h1_7.jpg

[instantneedles]

^ I wonder how good those are for squatting

[Mr.HappySilp]

Any suggestions on what to wear when jogging/oga?

I am using a par of Nike Free when jogging which is fine but as far as clothing goes I am just wearing regular T-shirt (mostly from threadless). Shorts just regular shorts you can get at chapms, footlocker (usually is buy one get one 50%). I find the lenight of the shorts to be a bit long (same lenght as Jordon's).

Any suggestions?

Well this is the first thing I thought of in regards to yoga pants.

I've heard they're very comfortable, but perhaps a tad bit expensive?

[Mr.HappySilp]

^^ hmmm that's a bit expensive... I just came back from Champs got theirs buy one get one free promo on shorts and 2 T-shirts. Around $80 total. Should keep me happy for a while.

Honestly I think any T-shirt/shorts will do unless you are training hardcore. Most people like me should be fine with just regular stuff.

[instantneedles]

^well for me, the shirts have to be a softer material, breathable, and easy to slide off because after a sweaty workout some shirts tend to stick onto your skin and gets really hard to take off.

pants for me have to be stretchy and somewhat baggy so when i'm doing squats i don't suddenly get a rip on the way down

[hal0g0dv2]

when i see men wear lu lu lemon pants i want to punch myself in the face, t-shirt yes pants no

[instantneedles]

[racerman88]

Wear any dri fit shirts as a base layer to wick away the sweat and dri fit shorts too. Does not matter what brand. Bigger brand name, more money unless you buy it on sale.
For instance, I bought a couple of under armour shirts at the outlet in Seattle for only $8 on clearance. Compared to paying $25 for the same shirt up here.
Just make sure it has a high polyester content.

[sas]

figured since there was so much interest in Oly shoes, I'd post this here:

adidas Official Website | adidas CA (http://www.shopadidas.ca/?src=Goodlife)

Ok, you guys that high bar squat ATG have no damn excuse now. It's $60!! People probably spend more on their spandex shirts and livestrong armbands. $$70 for the crossfit hybrid shoe in case you need to do your swinging pulls and snatches..

Click on the link and go to Mens>shoes>weightlifting

I've worn pretty much all the adidas oly shoes so shoot me with any questions. They are more narrow in the toe vs Nike, Dowins.

How's the power perfect 2 shoes compare to the power lift trainer shoes. I'm using the power lift trainers currently and I love them

[J____]

Lulu Metal Vent shirts, cropped shorts

http://www.room-8.com/pics2/lululemon-3428227-005.jpg

http://www.aritziaclothes.com/media/00/a20792912eef0addce71aa_s.JPG

yo, those are girl shorts

[sas]

The power lifts are good shoes if you are not a dedicated Oly lifter and need to use them for other purposes. You can get away with using the power lifts to perform lunges, plyo exercises as they're reasonably comfortable. I'd stick with them if your training log sounds something like a leg day, chest day, arm day, back day etc...

The Power Perfect have a true solid heel and not as forgiving. This is great if you do alot of Oly lifts or just squat routinely. Much more than the powerlifts which I find are way too soft for typical 2.5hr lifting sessions. Good enough if you do the Oly lifts every now and then.

So if you Oly lift and squat only occasionally, I'd stick with your power lifts.

[instantneedles]

Anyone know where I can get a pair of reliable wrist wraps preferably with a thumb loop? The one I was looking at was great, but it was $30.00 which, at this point, is a bit on the pricy side for me.

[hamsup]

Most of my workout shirts are UA heatgear sleeveless Tshirts...
As for shorts.. i really like those UA basic shorts or Nike drifit shorts (softest shorts ever !!!)

Running shoes.. Saucony Triumph or progrids... :)
