So i've been looking into the whole compression tight / skins thing. To get a pair of good quality tights, you'll normally pay $80+ which isnt such a problem.
Are these worth the purchase for the cooling, blood flow stimulation? Or are they merely just a garment which doesnt offer much when lifting heavy...
Ive seen a few folks wear them at the gym, and thought it'd be good to get a pair to wear under my shorts...
I have a couple of sets that have compression bands.Awesome to wear AFTER a hot shower after a workout or the next day if there is a bit of DOMS.
You look like a pufter if you wear them in the gym.Under your regular wear OK.
As your wear no way.
Hi Blake, I don't think they have a place in lifting heavy. If you want something to help you lift heavy get a squat suit / bench shirt.
I do however find them useful for aerobic exercise and have some full length pants and tights myself. There is actulaly some sound science behind them for some things!
I'm sure Kyle will agree tights are good in the Army when you go walking around carrying 40+ kg for the entire day in the sun with a week between showers.
