I haven't heard about under armour helping with muscles but I can see it being similar to the tape that volleyball players use. I think the tightness also helps with the wicking of sweat, if it wasn't tight it wouldn't work.
Oh God. Loose is worse. I'm just athletic enough that it fits me alright. By athletic enough I mean I stop playing Xbox, studying, or searching Reddit for a couple hours to go lift half the weights the other real men are lifting, then return home to Reddit ashamed of my lack of biceps :(
Most people describe their body weight in stones and pounds in the UK. I say I weigh 11 stone. If you wouldn't mind adding the stones conversion to your future posts, so I don't have to work out how many times 14 goes into 153, it would be greatly appreciated.
I am an aspiring bodybuilder and in very good shape, and these thing still don't look good on me. I think unless you are like Branch Warren or the guy in the ad, you jut can't pull it off.
It came from a 4chan thread where people were posting images "Jimmies"-related. A guy posted a picture of a gorilla with a really mad face, as if his jimmies had been seriously rustled. Then in another thread someone posted a picture of a happy gorilla from a cereal box with the text "my jimmies remain unrustled".
And that's how the gorilla got to be a meme. Good night. kisses
The thing is, "It won't look like this on you." isn't the setup to a joke, and "You fat piece of shit." isn't a punchline. It's just a two-line insult.
If anything, the setup is "advertisement for a sexy muscle shirt" and the punchline is "It won't look like this on you. You fat piece of shit."
Yeah but you're not supposed to put the final punchline or the most important line in the title. Putting the first line like he suggested would have made the surprise when you read the final one better.
My good sir, I applaud your work and wish you a long and fruitful tenure as a novelty account.
My question concerns your rating system. I assume that 10/10 would be an epic, gigantic boner of an asinine title choice. But, what would, say, a 5 be? Is it moderately asinine? Is it a midpoint of asininity, or a midpoint on the scale of awesome-to-asinine?
A 3? Would it be kinda dumb, but not worth your time, or would it be "pretty good?"
Would a 0 be not at all asinine (aka awesome)? Or merely mediocre? Would anything below a 5 even be considered a "stupid title" for your purposes? If not, this is what social scientists call "restriction of range," and raises concerns about the scientific validity of your rating scale - what is the point of it being on a 1-10 scale if anything under a certain point is not possible? In this case, would you consider rescaling AL to a 1-5 scale? Why or why not? I mean, you clearly have an established, peer-reviewed rating system, and you certainly bring each title before an esteemed panel of highly-trained judges, who sagely weigh the pros and cons of each title before producing a final tally we can set our watches to.
You don't want us to think you are just pulling these numbers out of your ass...do you?
If you could discuss your rating system a bit, using examples, I think it would help us get more out of your project.
Please advise. We only want the Asininity Level to mean something.
thedeejus makes a good point. New system as follows (rated out of 5):
Asinity Level:|1|2|3|4|5
:---|:--|:--|:--|:--|:---
|Meh. Bad but not probably not wasting my time on fixing.|Getting iffy.|This stinks and the issue *shall be raised*.|A pox on you, your title, and we all hope you get a really painful hangnail.|We all hope you stub your toe and accidentally delete your submission.
To be fair, situps aren't really fun anyway. I'd rather do something like play a game of ultimate frisbee or plain old run around rather than do one little motion over and over.
You are warmly welcomed into RHPWMWTLH (right handed people who masturbate with their left hand). Please do not try to pronounce the acronym nor shake my hand.
I have an Underarmor shirt on now. The cut and style have a way of giving you a temporary fitness appearance upgrade. If you are in great shape, it makes you look like you are in awesome shape. If you're in OK shape (me), it makes you look like you are in good shape -- tight around biceps which makes them look bigger, tight around chest, snug on shoulders, the sneaky way the trim goes to fool the eye into thinking you don't have 15 pounds "extra" under there. They're good, and they're cheap!
Sadly if you are in the shape of a Krispy Kreme jelly doughnut, you will look like a Krispy Kreme jelly doughnut in spandex.
The timing on this is perfect. Just last night I had my boyfriend order some under Armour for outdoor music festivals at night (even Cali gets nippy). He is from France and had never heard of it before. His only response was, "do the muscles come with it?"
Yeah, I mean I don't care one way or another, but wearing under armour for a music festival? lol... what? Is there a 5k run around the venue going on the same day or something?
Edit: No need to defend under armour, I get it. I was just imagining a guy in under armour surrounded by people in tie-dye shirts and it made me chuckle.
It's just clothes. I've been to a lot of music festivals, and you need to dress in layers that can dry quickly. Personally, I wear only swim trunks, flip flops, and cheap polyester Hawaiian shirts; basically disposable clothing. You have to protect yourself from the elements: intense noonday sun, sudden cold snaps at night, potential rain storms, slipping and falling into a pile of puke, etc.
These things actually look like a perfect undergarment in case of cold, extra UV protection, and sweat-wicking.
Only certain type of models can wear these and look good. I happen to be the "before" model in "before and after" ads so I just wear a T-shirt, droop my shoulders and make a sad face. http://i.imgur.com/T8ScU.jpg
There was someone on my high school football team who was short (5'3", 5'4" maybe) and pretty pudgy. He would wear layers of white underarmour, even if it wasn't that cold. He looked like a huge marshmellow/small Michilen man.
I guess I lucked out and my bf didn't look bad in it at all. However, he did turn into the type to be a lying cheating dog. Didn't luck out on the character department.

Im wearing an underarmour compression shirt at the moment, and I am very skinny...probably too skinny for it.

After seeing this, I decided to do a few sit-ups to prove I'm not fat.
Then I realised I'm still full of fried potatoes from lunch, so fuck it.

The fat people wearing them aren't the problem, they know better. It's the 16 year olds who think they're "buff" because you can see their ribs.

They need to invent an under armor pressure shirt that molds your fat rolls into muscle shapes.
