Gym towels - Am I gross?
ad
Ok. This is to settle an argument.
As most of you know, I train in my basement 95% of the time. I love my basement gym. But I digress.
I buy packs of microfiber towels. There are always 3 colors. Blue, green and orange.
At all times I have 3 towels in my gym:
- blue for sweat
- orange for blood
- green for boogers
My fiancé seems to think that this is horrific. I say I’m being pretty OCD about it and fairly hygenic, since I’m not mixing fluids.
Thoughts? Does anyone else do this? Am I alone? Am I, in fact, “gross”?
The only valid point she makes is that I could have a box of tissues for boogers. But I dunno... the environment? I like my color system, damnit.
Besides, what am I supposed to do with all these green towels if I’m not putting boogers in them?

AnonSo do you have a membership at a gym too for the other 5%?
Or is the ol lady's catchers mitt the other gym..
I got sick of spending the extra money for the membership when I only use my home gym and the Nanny's asshole.
Lol no I have a membership. I have a $5 membership to a local chain thru my work. Work pays the rest. I go there over lunch if I’m really busy. And when I’m visiting my girl’s parents I get a day pass at a hole in the wall gym by them.
My fiancée is my “active recovery” lol
Yeah, that's a little gross...
But hey, my dog eats his own shit, so I guess it's relative.
Who is any one to knock that. It's a little ocd but who cares. I got your back.
No cum rag? You don't finish every time you witness your pump smh
You don’t use a towel for that, we call that war paint
Niiice!! Lol
A towel for blood each work out. Now I’m question my training. All this time I thought I was training hard! :-/
Lol just deadlift day. Maybe a nosebleed on a real heavy squat day. But mostly just shins on deads. I have thin skin where the bar lands from an old scar and it breaks open almost every week
I've had Dbol spots over the years on my scalp and face that have exploded and run into my ears when benching - never realised at the time just afterwards when I look in the mirror lmao
Philly wears no gloves , lol
Lmao. I don’t but my calluses are pretty solid. I’ve only ripped one open once on rack pulls. That fuckin SUCKED!
I use the old seat cover fabric from our old Chevy , lol
TrenLiverHopefully you've washed them otherwise I agree w her.... you’re gross! If you wash them weekly or monthly or whatever, it’s all good, IMO
I just throw them out like every week or two. That’s why I get the big packs. They’re only like $15 bucks for like 90 of em
TrenLiverI have no issue at all then and actually think she should be happy. I don’t find it gross at all. It’s like using a over priced tissue or paper towel. IMO
Thank you!
^^This guy gets it.
AnonOoooh they're them little fuckers? Now that changes things..
If Thats your thing id say Go with it . I always go with the oll t-shirt lol
For boogers too? Lol. That’s gotta be worse than a booger towel.
I usually just go blow my nose if needed. Lol t-shirt and boogers is pretty Nasty or people might Think . That dudes retarded lol
Hey D thanks for coming clean using these towels
BUT !!!! You Forgot the brown towel on squat day emergency and DONT forget the old white towel in the OLD SOCK DRAW. Lol
Other than that hope everything is going good for ya
Lol now that I use tissues for.
And I always poop before squats or deads. I don’t have rook for another gym towel in my life.
AnonTissues for that? Fuck I have to cover the wall in front of me or we're gonna be re painting..
Lol
TronWhat?
You know... don’t act like you don’t know.
TronI see nothing wrong with color coordinated towels
No homo?
TronOf course.
Carry on.
I’d probably end up using my shirt for all of the above. Sounds like you’ve got a system.
I can definetly see you using your shirt considering you probably workout in daisy dukes to show off the monster legs... The more you workout legs the shorter the shorts get lol.
Lol 5 inchers all day. They gotta breathe
RustyhookerI blow my nose on dirty shirt in hamper. I blow big holes in tissue if boogie flies. Lol!
Yes, you are Lmao. I have to agree with your fiance on this, I think the fact that you know whats hiding inside the orange and green ones makes it even worse without even seeing the contents lol
If my shins are bleeding after deads the last thing I'd do is wipe them on towels for it to go brown. Just get a big box of tissues or use kitchen roll and keep the towels for sweat. Poor woman! Lol
lol fine. I can accept it.
And I usually don’t bleed on my right shin, but I have an old scar on my left where a pole went thru when I was a kid and the skin is very thin. That bitch cracks open at least every other week. Sometimes I put my knee sleeves around my shins but I hate it. I gotta get some deadlift socks or something.
Hahaha Lol The way you have to look at it is this - If you were doing the laundry and you were putting her green towel in the machine would it make her more or less attractive to you? That's the way she's probably looking at it - just wait till you are married then you can do what the fu** you want lmao
Oh yeh, its a lovely feeling when old scars keep opening up on the final rep isn't it! You are feeling like shit enough as it is and then you get the agonising pain of some nice steel bar knurling acting like a cheese grater on the way back down your shins. I have long legs and a short torso so awful genetics and leverages for it so there's just no avoiding them. Yeah I really need to get some DL socks too - In fact bud I'm gonna bloody order some now Lol
Fair enough. I guess I wouldn’t want her booger towel. To be fair tho I throw them out. That’s why I get the big packs.
And yea I should really get them now too. Mark bell has some nice looking ones and I think they’re only $12...
Still - Nowhere near as cringe worthy as this!!! Oouucchh ....

That’s horrifying.
You need to borrow the yellow towels you fiancé got for tears.
There’s no crying in baseball.
Er... or my gym. Except for when she leaves me for using a booger towel.
You don't need a booger towel... boogers go under the bench.
AnonWtf did I just read..!?
LMAO kidding man, in all seriousness, yes you're disgusting. BUT most if not all men are, I agree with her, boogers do not belong on towels..I keep a trash can in my gym for tissues and the occasional gag vomit phlegm spit lol
Blue doesn't scream sweat, but neither does orange scream blood. So why not take the green towels and wash them with some red towels to turn them blue!? Then you'll double your sweat towels and get rid of the booger towels.
I love my home gym, I add to it all the time, but it DOES smell of sweat and nutsack. Not a woman friendly environment anyways..
Agree to disagree. Water is blue, sweat is water. Boogers=green (obviously), and orange is almost red so blood. It all makes sense in my head. I dunno man they don’t see multi color microfiber towels in blue green and red.
I might give her the tissues for boogers. I have a little bathroom size trash can down there but I’ve never emptied it and it’s only half full lol.
I’m gonna guess you weren’t a big fan of art class? Lmao
Green and red (or green and orange) make brown. And a poop towel is just going way too far.
AnonI'll be honest...I did miss the years of school when we learned the color wheel..like 2nd grade? I was transferring around public/private/home school lol I shit you not.
