You must not ever have tested a max lift before.
Jeez, I'm glad I work out at home.
I pushed an 8lb baby out a small hole and didn't make that noise
Well I did the same thing and I screamed like a Banshee, so I guess it depends on the person0 -

a building or room designed and equipped for indoor sports, exercise, or physical education.
attire worn is for agility, close fitted for safety reasons, sweat wicking, etc.
the people there are thoroughly preoccupied with sports, exercise or other physical activity. Sweaty, focused, consumed with ability and performance and getting better and stronger and fighting the demons in their minds.
It's not a party, not a professional workplace environment, not a runway show or a social venue.
I dont care if you can see my panty lines.
If my pantylines distract you, or if my chest-to-calves black and neon spandex is going to distract you, try turning your brain inwards and focusing really hard on the actual task at hand, the stuff gyms were made for.
Best of luck!
do you wear booty shorts to aid in agility?
I said I wear chest to calves black and neon spandex. It is mentioned just up there.
pardon me, I should have said 'does one wear booty shorts to aid in agility?'
@JoRocka answered that one for you, and posted pics to explain. It's just a few pages back, Im sure you can find them. She has on neon pinkish/orangish booty shorts.
(they allow better range of motion in deep squats, deadlifts, etc)

hahaha i have a vid of me deadlifting a couple years ago and there is a guy in the background who does a doubletake.
i think that was just because I was a girl deadlifting though, as I was not wearing anything revealing and wasnt that attractive.

I would certainly never discourage any woman from wearing booty shorts.
But I've never felt motivated to wear almost nothing in order to aid mobility. A baggy pair of sweet pants or regular shorts never really got in the way to the point it really interfered with a lift.
I guess I'm say that, from that perspective, its easy to imagine there might be an ulterior motive, for some at least.
and I like to use my imagination lol0 -

everyone's body is different and every weight room is a different context.
this is why people find a gym that fits their style.
you can imagine all you want that some people have an ulterior motive, but I prefer to go on accepting the fact that, despite my efforts, I do not have the ability to read minds and motives.
so, instead, I work out.

Completely OT but @no_finish_line but have you watched the "Never Ending Story" as an adult? The most depressing movie ever and Falcor is a creepy child molester. Never realized it as a kid.
(sorry but it's your avatar that made me ask).

when I'm in the comfort of my own home- i'm in my dun-dun duuuunnnnnh's and nothing else.
That's the best feeling ever!!! It's the closest thing to working out naked without having my tits slap me in the face- because let's be realistic- having your balls or your titties flopping all over ISN"T awesome- but running with no shirt? GREAT!!!
I honestly can't explain with enough accuracy the level of annoying of long baggy pants tugging at my knee when I squat and the feeling it has pulling in weird places.
Seriously- quiet possibly the MOST annoying feeling ever.
running? the feeling of pants slapping my ankles?? I'd sooner cut the pants off.
Long shorts catch at the knees.
Short shorts ride up and wind up in my a%%hole. I'm honestly more surprised men have held on to the baggy clothing to work out- you see any top level athlete's training regularly in baggy a%% clothes? nope- because it gets in the way.0 -

actually I don't think I have. I can just remember being pissed at the kid because he couldn't pull the horse out of the mud. he comes back in the end tho lol.
its probably the most depressing thing I can remember from my childhood... which probably means I had a pretty good childhood lol0 -

I read a really funny (and wildly accurate) buzzfeed thing about movies from your childhood you should never re-watch as an adult.
This tops the list mostly because it's epically effed up. And painfully slow.
and the dragon is also super child porno creepy .0 -
I don't know where you workout, but I've literally never noticed a single person wearing see through yoga pants.0
-
Ok, I wont watch it then... I guess its ultimately a good reflection on me that I can't really comprehend how a huge flying white dog represents a child molester...
but since we're already in the creepy range... I thought the main character, the kid on the horse, was pretty cute... till I was informed it was a boy lol.
I was like 7 or younger ok lol.
and I will happily not see the responses to this as I am going home for the day lol0 -
nooooo falcor is amazing!0

the scene where he wakes up and he's putting him and he's like "it feels so gooooooooooooooddddddddddd"
it's creepy.
and child molesterish.
I'd seriously NOT rewatch it- save the memories- I ruined it for myself watching it as an adult.0 -
I always wear shorts over my workout leggings, but everyone to their own. We had a receptionist at our law firm wear those see through leggings to work with a short top and you could see her thong and everything else. She didn't last long. lol

Yes, I wear a hat on most Saturdays to cover the awful bedhead. My hair is too short for a ponytail. The bonus of the hat is that it also keeps the sweat from dripping into my eyes.yourradimradletshug wrote: »Also, can anyone explain why women wear ball caps at the gym? Nothing wrong with it. Just curious. A girl in one of my classes is always wearing one but I can't figure out why.
To control their hair? My hair is curly and too short for a ponytail. I don't shower before going to the gym so I roll out of bed with very interesting hair that I try to tame a bit before heading out. On a good day I can kind of press it down so it's not so big. On most days I have to put on a headband. On a really bad day, if I had one on hand, I'd probably wear a ball cap if I didn't look like such a dufus in them.
As for clothes, I wear many different options. If I had the body for short shorts, I would wear them. I get so hot when I work out, the less clothes the better.0 -
I rarely notice what other people are wearing. I'm too insecure about myself to be worried about others. I wear shorts over my leggings because I feel my *kitten* is way to big to be in public covered only by tights fitting pants. I wear the pants because I my thighs are way to huge to be seen only in shorts. If I wear loose fitting pants I wear shorts under them because I sweat so damn much, I feel completely embarrassed if my swamp *kitten* shows.0
