Do you spiff up for the gym?
 

I have been starting to work out after work and I am showering before I go... Granted it is like a Playmate reunion at my gym but I have never said hi to anyone there so not sure why I am doing this?

You shower before working out? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yeah how insane is that. I have done it 2 days in a row without thinking about it.

Edit - I do live in a very clean country personal hygeine is nuts here and I can tell i am not alone as the women clearly dress for the gym.

That's rough. I don't worry about how I look since I am not there to impress anyone. Try going later unless you're actually going there to meet women. Personally I go there to get in better shape. Around here if I go later in the evening it's almost all meatheads over in the corner doing curls in front of the mirrors.

I have to shower before I leave my house.. Even if Im going to the gym.

i spiff down. i leave the office, go to the gym then home.

My gym is like that to a certain extent too. I say screw it. I go to the gym for myself, I am not out to impress anyone or make any friends there. Besides, why would you want to meet a sexy lady under false pretences?

There you go ..... :thumbsup

I throw on shorts and a tshirt and just go..

basically the same deal overhere... i laugh at the people who get dressed up for the gym...

then again there isn't a whole crapload of hotties walkin around... i guess if there were I might care a bit more... but id never shower before the gym

go to gym before take a shower and spiff..:thumbsup

I always shower before. It's not so much to look good (as I just throw on shorts, a cutoff and a hat) as it is to not smell bad while sweating. Nothing is more embarrassing than oozing funk that everybody knows is coming from you.

I stopped lifting weights, and do alot of grappling. If my training partner smells like shit, I stop training with them and tell them they need to take a fucking shower.

I always hated the smelly fuck who came to the gym. I really enjoy you leaving your odor and stank sweat on all the gym equipment. Thanks alot.

Glad to see somebody agrees with me! :thumbsup

There is a big difference between going to the gym smelling like a skunk and showering just to look good. If you smell like old ass yea take a shower.

I agree. Fucking hate when I am running on the threadmill and some asshole reeks next to me.

Just don't wear cologne!

I shower before I go to the gym and I always put on a little lip gloss. I'm not there to meet anyone, but I always care about how I look. Just because you're working out doesn't mean you have to look (and smell) disheveled and homeless.

Yeah I shower for the gym but not specifically. Just I run in the morning, and obviously have to shower after that .. So when I hit the gym in the afternoon, already clean.

I usually hit the gym right after breakfast, so I usually run through a quick shower without wetting my hair, just to freshen up before I go.

What is this very clean country hygeine wise you live in?

I shower and I use deodorant right before I enter the gym, the more people start doing this the more pleasant your gymming will be

impress by lifting weights bro, im sure no one is counting on you to be your best dressed in the gym but they do want to see what youre like physically

When I did hit the gym in my twenties I would not even worry about the chicks in the gym... I worked on improving myself and getting a great work out. Then they would come to me and ask me what is up. This is because I was the only one in the gym not hitting on them...

Also works at the bar. You basically pay the chicks no attention. At all. Then they wonder what in the fuck is going on... Every guy in the place is looking at them and so you stand out...

Yeah can't do that. Working on it.

Brasil. It is crazy here. Just an example. Sunday bbq with the inlaws. All the grown kids and their kids took a shower before going home. Only 5 people in total but not something I have ever seen in the states. Everyone here showers 2-3 times a day.

There are like 4 chicks in my gym, 2 under 30. The rest are meat heads. Once the chick factor is out of the window there's only one thing left: WORK OUT. I love it.

Shower before leaving someone elses home before driving home?

OK ............... :(

lol going to the gym in a few hrs, cant wait to see some nice pussy

No,just sweats and a T-shirt

Dude, you should shower AFTER the gym, not before...

i put on bronzer + gel my hair real nicely and slap on a tight tank top when i had the gym. Oh and i never leave home with out my trusted jersey goggles

lol on the real tho.. sweats + old tshirt and some music will do

going to the gym to conversate or look nice is a waste of time and energy. Everybody at the gym is there for one reason, get a work out and bounce. Im in and out in 1-2hours.

Hehe i agree with you on that one tho, no one likes having "that guy" in the gym. Everywhere he goes, everyone else is on the other side of the gym.
I guess depends on what you did all day before you went to the gym or to grapple. Usually im sitting in class not working up a sweat before i hit the gym so its not a real problem.

What's so surprising about taking a shower first before going to the gym?
Well, me, I shower first before going to other places then take a shower again after...

I do both. :thumbsup

Showers? Deodorants, lip gloss, hair gel? WTF???

What ever happened to the good ol' jabbing of the juice into your glutes right before you start training ....

i have not had a spliff for years... wouldn't want to be stoned in the gym anyway

Whenever I go out, I shower. So...
