What do You Wear on Leg Day?

basketball shorts. It has been getting cold, but usually a sweatshirt during the warmup is good enough to warm up.

on every other day I wear basketball shorts comando.

on legs when I know ill be doing leg presses I wear the same shorts with boxer briefs so as not to show the world my junk

Nothing special, just what ever I feel like wearing that day. When it’s warm out I wear shorts, when it’s cold some kind of training pants. Sometimes I’ll wear both and lose the pants after warming up.

It doesn’t get cold enough in Texas to justify wearing sweats.

Basketball shorts… not the NBA kind… I like the kind that fall at or slightly above the knee.

I don’t wear pants when I squat. Or underwear.

Anyone want to see a video of my last PR?

I can’t stand training legs while wearing sweat pants. That said, it’s getting pretty damn cold and it’s even cold inside the gym.

I went to a sports store yesterday and tried on a bunch of sweats. They were all pretty uncomfortable when doing a squat motion; the ass part gets pulled down and it’s obnoxious to be dealing with that in the middle of a set.

In the past I’ve worn tights. Not girl tights (obviously) and not HotSkins striped tights from the 80’s. I’m talking about UnderArmour ColdGear tights or the ones that Nike makes for running. I was training at a hardcore gym, though, and now I train at a commercial gym and I wouldn’t want anyone to call me gay … that would really hurt my feelings! :wink:

Anyway. What kind of sweats do guys wear? What kind should I get?[/quote]

I used to wear spandex shorts, with sweatpants over them. I got the support, without anything creeping up my ass.

Hey! Thats what I was going to say!

It doesn’t matter what I wear to the gym on squat day. I change into either those^^ or these:

Liederhosen.

For a full range of motion.

And attracting “spotters.”

Well, I always wear shorts, cuz like Prof X said, you never forget to hit your calves. But, I also will never wear a sleeveless shirt on leg day. For some reason, whether imagined or not, My arms and torso look like shit when my legs get all engorged -lol

S


Nothing TOO restrictive.

Nothing but a jock strap and bow-tie, oh and those little clip on cuffs on my wrists. If it’s cold, I’ll throw a derby on my head for warmth, but that draws a lot of stares which makes me uncomfortable.

Damn! Those are some expensive and weird-looking underwear!

Do they really work or are you joking?

Those should get your squat poundage up rather nicely, a guy I train with has a pair and since we both compete at 181 he let me try them on, they easily gave me 70lb on first try, but i have used briefs before so i knew the gist…

Unless you do powerlifting or maybe strongman i don’t see the point in buying a pair.

Those briefs are no joke, my friend. They are some of the biggest, baddest 2-ply briefs money can buy.

Not joking. Yes they do work…I get a solid 80-100 lbs out of them.
