Funny thing is a couple of guys I see at the gym wearing a TapOut wool ski hat.....Is it really that cold in the gym (no), or do they just want to look cool?

Are they the same guys who work out wearing hoodies and sweat pants? Yeah, those douche bags must be trying to cut weight for something. Douchers.

As if more clothing is really going to make a measureable difference in the weight they lose.

Like I say, they're wearing it cuz they think it looks "hard", or because they're having a bad hair day.

Not necessarily. If you have to make weight then wearing sweats will make you sweat out more water and let you cut a couple pounds extra. You normally gain most of it back quickly when you re-hydrate.

Still see the occasional guy in the space suit type stuff or a garbage bag so they sweat more.

And that's the thing. I was talking about real weight loss, not just temporary water loss. If someone isn't actually competing in a sport, it's pointless. These guys I'm talking about are just middle-aged douchebags. The only thing they need to "make weight" for is their bathroom scale.

Then they are retarded douches. Just because you sweat more doesn't mean you are loosing more weight. It just means you are overheating and your body is trying to loose the heat. If someone runs a marathon and doesn't break a sweat while the other person sweats a bucket to wacking off to the latest bang bus episode, would that person have exerted more energy?

And if sweating is the real goal then they can spend $20 at Sports Authority for a sweat suit. If they are truly dedicated to their fitness they won't give a damn what they look like at the gym.
