Hi

Just wondered if any of you guys wear tights in the gym and which brand do you wear?

    I like the compression shirts, Under Armour. Apart from that, no tights for lower body. I'd be interested to hear about knee sleeves versus knee wraps though...please offer your thoughts.

    I don't wear wraps etc, maybe because i don't lift frequently enough or heavy enough. I only workout 3-6 times a week. I beleive in resting too ;)

    I'll probably get some compression shirts once I lose the belly, but I prefer shorts to work out in, thick sweatpants if deadlifts or any olympic lifts are in the mix to help keep my shins intact.

    Now that its cold here I wear compression tights with shorts on top. My box is hot in the summer and COLD in the winter. If I could get by in shorts I would but its just not happening. Mine are Reebok brand.

    Sleeves are simply to keep the joint warm and loose.

    Wraps are designed to give you more bounce from the bottom and allow you to lift more weight.

    I'd rather just keep incresing slowly and skip the wraps but that's just me.
