I don't know if there's any stigma. I've worn tight under-armor shirts to the gym, before, but now that I work out right after work, I just wear my undershirt from the day, which is already destined for the laundry hamper.
When it comes to shorts, it's a pocket issue for me.0 -
if i wear compression leggings under shorts, does it count?0

That's what i wear. Well they are build in compression under the short (not long compression, littel shorter than actual shorts) and it fits perfectly.
But i would not wear leggings/thights without that in a gym
When i was still cycling, i wore them on racebike, but i never liked them0 -
I wore my running pants to lift after a run. A couple ladies stared at my junk constantly. 😂. I didn’t mind the attention1

moving around feels better with compression gear. specially if (my) body likes to store fat on the *kitten* and thigh areas 🤣🤣1 -
Compression? No thank you. I don't like the odds that my outtie would become an innie. Plus it just feels plain old weird, and not the good weird.1

I suppose it's a comfort choice with me.0

The question was asked earlier, if men can wear baggy clothes to the gym, why can't women do the same? Why do they have to wear skin tight clothing?
And a lot of people (myself included) said in essence "comfort and practicality".
So I wonder... if it is so much more comfy for women to wear form fitted clothing while lifting / running / boxing, etc... why isn't the same true for men? Is there a stigma against men wearing tight shorts / form fitting clothing in the gym?
Men: If you are a gym go-er, what do you wear, and why? If you wear compression shorts under baggy shorts, why wear the baggy shorts too?
All feedback is appreciated (including kitteh gifs)
We have more wobbly bits that need to be firmly held in by fabric to prevent painful flying about!0 -

You've been misinformed. We're all smooth like Ken dolls.

Wearing compression garments is effective in increasing blood circulation in muscle tissue, eliminating muscle soreness and fatigue. This effect does not only happen when you wear them during exercise, but it lasts till after your workouts. Wearing compression garments can also prevent or delay the onset of muscle soreness.
I don't wear them because they are form fitting, or ,heavens to betsy, my lady parts might "wobble". I wear them because its beneficial for my body. I know many males who wear compression leggings (generally runners), shorts and/or even underwear. Most of the time they will also wear baggy sweats on top of these items.2 -
Haha it was funny to see this thread resurface after 6+ years!2
