Tip 11 - Use quality weight lifting apparel and clothing in the gym

You'd be surprised what I see people in the gym wearing. I don't judge people for what they wear but when I see dudes wearing super tight jean shorts and a little halter tops, trying to do squats, I can't help but wonder what ever possessed them to wear such things in the gym. To me, they gym is a sacred place where you go to achieve your fitness goals, not to use it as a platform to show your fashion sense or to shock other people.

Common sense gym apparel is very much needed if you want the necessary room to move around in. Range of motion and movement is very important in weight training and if you want to maximize your mobility (which is very important), keep your clothing loose and comfortable. No, you don't have to show up in a burley sack but at the same time, you don't want to constrict your body. What you want to do is use clothing that allows your body to move comfortably and freely without constriction.

As the saying goes, dress for success and that goes for the gym. If your all business in the gym, your clothing should match that type of training - loose and comfortable that allows maximum movement. Train in clothing that is conducive to building muscle.
