Hey guys, what are your thoughts on compression clothing? I find it comfortable and I'm able to visually check my form much easier than with a regular tshirt.

 

Thoughts?

Why wear a shirt? I suppose if you have to it might be useful.

I wear compression shorts, but that is because I had a hip/back injury a little while back, and though it is probably more mental than anything I just feel more stable when I work out.

I find that wearing a UA type compression t shirt helps me "feel" my torso a lot better than just a regular t shirt.  I cannot speak to the feeling compared to shirtless as my gym would frown on my hairy chest parading about.  As for the compression gear down under; suffice it to say that if you can get away doing handstands and such with no support down there then, for sure, size doesn't matter in your case.   :razz:

I find this to be true also! It's a weird awareness.

 

And I would work out shirtless, but Canada is coooold. Even inside :(
