One of the biggest laugh out loud moments in our gym came when we saw a member stroll in with the phrase 'You gotta burn it, to earn it!' emblazoned across their chest which brings us to today's quick post. Today we look at the role the funny gym t shirt has taken in the last year or so.
According to Google this is a search ever increasing in popularity and it has certainly shown no signs of slowing down over the last six months.
While some use it in a deadly serious 'look at me' manner the majority of us go for a hint of sarcasm and the truth is it can have a great effect on your workout and lifestyle. Why?
* It simply brightens up your day and reminds you to stop taking yourself so seriously
* It's a top ice breaker with other members
* It won't just make you laugh, it'll entertain others too
But before you go rushing out to pick up a selection of cheesy statements such as "Shut up an squat!" or "Can you call a vet, because these pythons are sick!" you need to be sure of one very important thing which can literally make or break your new favorite workout wear:
Are you able to pull off the statement you're carrying?
You need to find out what works for your body and what doesn't. For example, a bodybuilder would be able to get away with "Get massive, stay massive!" but the average 50kg skinny student wouldn't be. Sure he could be going for tongue-in-cheek in a bid to make the opposite sex laugh, but there is a much larger chance that he'll just open himself up for self ridicule. Remember, there are enough negative people out there to put you down you don't need to do it yourself.
It's becoming an increasingly popular fitness niche among regular trainers and we don't see the trend slowing down any time soon.
So the next time you hit the iron try adding a cheesy workout top into the mix and, if nothing else, you will have yourself a very good conversation starter.
