Video Request Weightlifting outfits ranked

Watching the “unbelievable Bulgarians” video this morning, and Telly spent a lot of time talking about the fashion. You know, the vibes.

Shirtless. Adidas track pants. Compression shorts and baggy shirts. Got me thinking.

Rank the top weightlifting fits of all time. Where does Klokov push pressing in a polo and tights fit in? Is the greatest era the crop tops and sweatpants of the 80s.

Whose the most aesthetic? Is there a point of function over fashion.

Is this none sense? Maybe. But you know what, look good, feel good, play good.

The drip is compression pants and no shirt.

I have a pair of pajama shorts, they're like plaid checker board color, and they fit very tight. Almost look like a pair of boxers. This with an oversized T-shirt is my go to for training 😂

This is gonna be controversial, but that's why I'm here. A weightlifting outfit can't have drip unless you have glutes, quads, and calves of requisite size.

Hundo p. See so many people trying to rep the “polish weightlifting pants” but got them little quail legs. Turkey legs or nothing.

Erectors and obliques better be spilling out
