Or do I have every right to be pissed off?!? I'm not afraid to admit it but I train to compression tights, there I said it! I like the fact I don't catch the farmers handles on my shorts or pockets, I like that my knees don't stick on the edges when squating, I like how it feels more comfortable to dead lift in etc etc. I know I'm still overweight but not excessively so and have enough "muscle bulk" to offset the fat. I do however realise not everyone approves and there's a social stigma (certainly by non lifters) to them..
Now to my issue I was training the other day and ran over so had to pick my kids up from school straight from training so no shower/changed I had a long vest on and bear in mind I was also wearing UA compression shorts underneath but I was still wearing my tights when I picked them up (doesn't bother me what I look like tbh) now I find out tonight another of the mums complained to a friend of mine that "the kids don't need to see that" see what? A positive role model of someone doing exercise?!? I'm sorry it's wrong for me to wear my tights but ok for you to rock your back tits or flash a shed load of cleavage in summer?!? Or to see you shoehorned into a pair of jeans that you can hear screaming for mercy from 20 yards?!? It's ok for that huge whale to rock his "I'm not fat it's a lifestyle t-shirt"! It's not like any of the other parents are bastions of physical health either! It's all middle age'd housewives who either do feck all or do the cursory "circuit training" once a week and where track suits the rest of the week to make it look like their always training!!!!
I know you couldn't see anything as I was conscious of it myself!
So was I wrong and a pervert or am I right to be a little pissed?
