Ok guys random question. Where do you all get your clothing for working out?

I want to get more shorts because the ones I have don't fit well. The problem is I am 6 feet tall or a hair under 6ft1"
Most of my shorts don't go past my knees. I prefer to have shorts that go past my knee. I don't like basketball shorts either. Where can I get actual weight lifting clothes at?

I have tried big 5, Target, walmart etc can't find anything that fits right. Do I need to go to underarmor? The nearest underarmor store is 45 mins away drive and those are pretty pricey as well.

Under armor has a line of shorts that actually run really long. They are almost like a swimming trunk material. I'm just under 6' and these things go well past my knee. I don't like it honestly. I don't like looking like I have a giant skirt on but to each his own.

the only afticle of clothing I really care about for the gym is some quality underwear. Ive got some underarmours and a bunch of lulu lemons ( yes im aware of how gay that sounds) they feel like you got nothing on yt hold everything snug whilst avoiding any chafe .... other than that I wear cheapo walmart sweats and tankers/tees

My choice of attire for a brutal, barbaric workout is Affliction board shorts, Y-back Tank from Pit Bull Gym, and black boots with no socks.
Wear shit that makes you feel like a Viking. That means staying away from Dicks (the store and the organ).

Goth it is GOOD to have you back on here! I got worried when I read Grrl's post, I thought she prepared and gave you a hot aas load and buried you under the house!:P

agree with grrrl on the board shorts but im 6'1" and the board shorts they put out at target during the summer reach past my knees (im with you on that) are perfect and they are a little cheaper than most places. Yes shorter shorts make us look like we are trolling for dick and basketball shorts catch too many eyes... from people trolling for a peek at your balls. No good on both.

Spandex helps prevent your junk from flopping around. Or I wear boxer briefs under my shorts, and they do the same thing. If you are in a gym with some hot chicks, it is sometimes good to free ball. Just make sure you are shaved or at least trimmed down there. Sit-ups with your feet a foot off the ground anyone?

No body wants to see your junk hanging out at the gym... ;-(

It was a joke, but if people don't want to see it, why do they stare at it, some even multiple times.

Grrl just leaned over my shoulder and said it's like watching a train wreck.
Hey------I'm just the messanger......lol

For his sake I hope he has a long train, whoever that guy is. The one with all the girls and the guy in the pink jumpsuit, glancing at him.

I always thought the only 2 choices where basketball shorts, or spandex, but who wears just those? Unless you have the funds to order some of this stuff, they sell jersey knit shorts:
