Men's Workout Shirts & Tanks

What men’s workout shirts are best?

The answer depends on the activity. Some workout clothes scale to any endeavor. But if you’re elevating your intensity, it might be time to consider what the right activewear can do to help optimize your training.

Picking the Best Men’s Gym T-Shirts

Choose workout clothes with modern moisture-wicking technology and quick-dry fabrics. Breathable mesh panels are another plus.

Many men prefer to layer at the gym. This is particularly true for weight training. A cozy sweatshirt, alone or with jogger training pants, helps get the blood flowing. This warms up muscles more quickly, helping reduce the risk of injury.

Choosing the Right Fit for Men’s Athletic Shirts

Slim fit, relaxed fit or compression men’s workout shirts? Again, it depends on the type of workout.

Compression men’s gym shirts and workout shorts help support the body as you train. Many weightlifters and CrossFit fans prefer this cut. The pressure from a compression fit can help increase blood circulation, ease musclestrain and enhance recovery. Many also prefer the sleek fit of compression workout T-shirts because they stay out of the way of gym equipment.

Others prefer a slim fit with ergonomic lines that allow a full range of motion. If the sleeves are constrictingyour arms or you can’t gather an inch or two of fabric at the sides of your shirt, it’s too tight.

A relaxed-fit style has the advantage of cool airflow. This slightly looserfit is great for running outdoors in warm weather. This workout shirt shouldn’t be so loose, though, that it gets in your way or slows you down.
