kilts in the gym

[sydnie7]

It's common knowledge that the kilt adds at least 20 lbs to all your lifts.

A review of the literature suggests, however, that maximum improvements were attained only when female researchers conducted the study...

i toyed with wearing a sportkilt on a day when i would be using a hex bar but decided against it since i like to do yoga stretches between sets.

"Compression" shorts. Sounds dang scary!!

following this thread with interest as soon I'm going to try being kilted full time.....

COOL, that would get my OHP over 200 and my flat bench 1RM to 300! suh-weeeeeeet!!

And after that you could use both hands.

The only exercise machines that belong in a gym are the grunty, sweaty, stinky, organic ones. You're probably thinking of one of them 'health club' thingies. Oddly enough, that also happens to be the name of a new motivational truncheon I'm unveiling soon:

The Williams Health Klub

30 inches of stout hickory, perfectly balanced for those precision swats: Bacon from lips, cake from forks, fannies from sofas. Also included is the patented Pookey's Pudge Prod technology...developed by Taser (Nasdaq: TASR), the Health Klub provides that extra little 'get-up-and-go' to any recalcitrant workout partner.

Kilts are fine at my gym, BTW. I've even worked out in my undies.

Aye! Plus one!

Got to hide those from my PT. I usually lay down on the bench and fall asleep.

You know the rules. :rules: Besides, without pictures, this post is utterly pointless.

My brother amd I were discussing this post workout this morning and we figured it actully added 50 lbs ot your lifts. This is due to the fact that you better "bring it" the day you wear your kilt to the gym! No reason to give the naysayers a reason to say that kilted guys are wimps!
The only lift I wouldn't do in a kilt are seated leg presses. That would really show off the haggis!
Otherwise, why not wear it to the gym? I mean, you DO put a towel down on the bench..right? RIGHT???? It's just good gym etiquette.

And 20 inches to all of your throws!!!

While there's no law that says you CAN'T wear a kilt to the gym, just like there's no law that says you can't wear a kilt while sailing a trapeze dinghy..



and no law that says you can't wear a kilt while scuba diving...



and there's no law that says that you can't wear a kilt while base jumping...



and so on.... AND keep in mind that I wear a kilt to work and "around town" 2-4 days a week and really love wearing a kilt... I actually DARE to remember that sometimes, just sometimes, a kilt is not the OPTIMAL item of clothing to wear in ALL situations.

Heresy, I know.

I, personally wouldn't wear a kilt to the gym. It would just get in the way. For that matter, when throwing discus at a track meet, I don't opt to wear a kilt, through Adriane Wilson, nee Blewitt, wore hers at the Olympic trials last summer, in the shotput.
