workout clothes??? what do you use

[johnnyw]

EF,
I am trying to get some info, I am starting a fitness apparel company and I am trying to figure out how many of you are really interested in buying clothes that are dedicated to bodybuilders....

Do any of you purchase clothes specifically for working out or do you thrown on an old t shirt?

I would appreciate any comments on this subject...it will help me to build a better business that suits your needs.

Thanks
Johnny W

I have almost every decent looking short sleeve shirt from adidas.com (15 total) I also buy pants there, I hate the fact that its hard to find workout pants that are not too tight on the legs

Like I got these 3 nice puma pants online and it was way too tight to workout with, so lose fit is great.

Also you will notice adidas makes tops to match pants they have

I think there is a big demand for clothing for bodybuilders not just for working out but for regular day to day as well.

Not everyone is into wearing real tight fitted international male and undergear or hot bodz stuff.

I hate that too, I can never find pants that fit me in the waste and the legs, I usually have to go big on the waste in order to fit into the leg area.

I will definitely have pants that fit well...I will also look into getting some casual wear now too, at least jeans and kahkis at first.

Thanks for you input NY

I usually wear plain black, dark blue, or grey (dark solid colors) baggies for my gym pants, and/or those cheap, plain, one color, silky, oversized shorts from Sports Authority on leg days. I like all different bb'ing clothes, but usually prefer the solids and clean- cutt look sporty colors myself. Sometimes on leg days for added support (had 2 hernias fixed)I like to wear cotton tights under my baggies for groin support, and I feel it helps with safety almost like one big knee rap keeping everything nice and snug. I will always wear baggies tho. I have a real hard time fitting into anything else right whether it be gym clothes or dress. Regular made clothes are just not made for guys with muscles. My legs, above all have always had a big problem because of the teardrop areas being bigger and inner thigh areas are so darn tight with most regular larger pants not made for bb'ers in mind. I have always had to go fat man's sizes (waist)and get pants altered, or just rig it w/ a belt and deal w/ it. It's not that bad, but I had to figure out for a while what sizes would fit best because of the shape of my legs, ass, and waist. It was a pain. All this with normal pants, and figuring out where to go. Those clothes above are most comfortable for me, when working out. As for shirts,... I like any x2 or 3 extra large shirt is fine. Depends on the cutt of material how comfortable. They are usually a little longer on me, since I am shorter ( about 5'8/9) but I don't mind. Fits just perfect in the shoulder/upper body. I like them oversized, as it is comfortable for movement. Sometimes I like to wear a fitted T-shirt on arms day to get me going with the workout. I usually like the T-shirts that are xl or xx2 (depending on the cutt some may be bigger fit or some more tapered)and have a overly-wide neck to them. Nice and snug, but to stretch (cotton ribbed material). Even a v-neck sometimes. I find this gear most comfortable for me.


Baggy is good.

T- Micheal usually puts out some nice clothes. I always liked what baggy shirts they had, even now. Solid, sporty, clean-cutt looking gym clothes for working out.

I use nike or similar drifit shorts, and a loose nike drifit top or underarmor top (both sleeveless). Sometimes I wear a singlet top as well that my running club has their logo on.

It's a crowded market.

I have 3 year old black/white/red AND1 shorts. I also have my Kennith Cole fully stretched out, ripped up long sleeve t shirt. I wear this every day I'm in the gym. It gets washed oince a week on the day I don't workout. So it stinks, its stretched, its ripped, its got rust on it - works well
