How to Choose Suitable Attire for Training

Do you think that training for street workouts requires a special outfit? Of course not, but similar to any sport, there are injuries that can be avoided... It is noteworthy to consider that the clothing should be comfortable and not hinder free movement.
That's not the primary objective of the workout!
It appears that the matter is quite straightforward and there is nothing complex about it. The answer is probably that it all depends on the preferences and style that each individual favors. Some prefer to wear tight clothing, others prefer more freedom, from where the idea of two larger sizes of clothing originated, and someone prefers workouts without shirts. However, I would like to remind everyone that in street workout, it does not matter how you are dressed. The important thing is to be comfortable and have a positive attitude. Nevertheless, there are individuals who value a good appearance. This article, however, is about another subject, namely rational thinking. I have often seen men who wanted to emphasize their muscles and wore shirts that were too small, which hindered their normal movement.
When I am tight, I am so big
The first thing I wish to write about is the trend of training in very tight t-shirts. In this sport, typical exercises primarily engage the shoulder ring. Consider that if you perform weightlifting in front of you and the t-shirt keeps getting stuck under your arms, the training will become at least uncomfortable. There is a high risk of receiving unpleasant chafing that will disrupt the next workout. A very tight t-shirt restricts movements, which can be compared to training with restricted movements. I have previously written about the negative consequences of such repetitions. In a state of rest, you can still endure such compression, but think about how you will feel after 30 minutes of training, when your muscles start to swell.
Doubtful stride
Loose pants may constitute suitable training attire for SW. However, my own empirical knowledge persuades me that this is not always the case, as I consider that the pockets in loose pants protrude excessively, augmenting the probability of getting caught on them with your hand while executing a particular movement. I recently encountered this situation during a jump. Fortunately, it was a low bar over a sandy surface. The fall was uncontrolled, which could have been very hazardous under different circumstances.
Muscles are invisible
Loose clothing conceals a silhouette, and it is only after removing it that you become aware that you can create an impressive silhouette on the strip. I once heard a comment that if you wear something loose, you disappear. I can't disagree, but once you get on the strip and take off the loose clothing, everything falls back into place and you know who's just sitting in the internet and distracting themselves, and who is working hard on themselves and growing. My only caution when wearing such a shirt is to be careful when doing spins on the strip, whether on your back or on your forearms, as the shirt could wrap around the strip and you might need help getting off. For example, I observed a case at the Polish Championships where the father of the Polish SW scene Mariusz Drochliński spun around the strip and couldn't get off for a while. In the end, I'll just say that a trained body doesn't need a lot of clothing. Many of you probably share my opinion and also train without a shirt.
