Know that most people aren't even looking at you, they are listening to their music and getting them gains

a lot of people started of big and worked hard to change, so they dont care that you happen to be bigger, they know you are working on it

a lot of people are more likley to be happy if you asked them a question on regimes, proper form, etc, then to worry about what you look like and stuff.

Recognize that you are trying and everyday, you are better then you were before

Recognize that opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one, so if yours is that you are awesome, nobody's else's opinion should matter as much.

No, my dad was my fitness guide and now I go to gym by myself. I do MMA and did wrestling in a mixed gender sport in highschool as well, so I'm past the whole being shy thing lol

I put on my headphones and go about my day in there.

Stuff is more contained when they wear briefs of something, when they dont, things are way more noticable.

But don’t their uniforms hold everything together?

Not really. They are either skins tight so you def see things, or enough to have things flopping around and you ca t help but see things. The extra layer does wonders.

I remember one time my crush was hanging in the hall way in his singlet and I could totally see his whole package just hanging there and one of his teammates tapped him there and he dropped to his knees lol

I've seen guys get their crotches kneed and squeezed, and watched then scream.

It's a sight lol can't say I've never accidentally grabbed it tho, when I meant to grab their thigh, but i let go real quick and apologize, they just giggled

Omg you’ve grabbed it during the match? Did they drop to their knees lol

We were on the ground already, and it wasn't hard, I knew straight away what it was and let go real quick.

He wasn't hurt, that's why he giggled.

I guess when I saw him drop to him knees it made me giggle because he looked so big and tough but was on the ground holding himself

Pretty sure anyone would if hit in such a sensitive area, lord know how much it hurts when hit full force lol
Asker

I know it hurts but its just kinda funny when he is his uniform since his balls are fully in display and they got tapped. I wouldn’t expect any guy to handle that wel though

Was it weird for you going against a guy without any underwear? Does it really hang lower?
Mystic_Nova

1 mo
I didn't think about it. It's all covered so it wasn't that much of an issue, plus I just tried not to think about it lol

It seems like it would be much more vulnerable that way. Did you ever see that come into play?

Abdominal and hip exercises.
We would have 1-kilo weights on our hands.
We used to make rhythmic movements in harmony with the music. About 45 min-1 hour
