Gym clothes to fit - HELP!

[Australeanne]

Hi all - Can anyone please help suggest where to buy gym wear for we female bodybuilders who have "outgrown" standard sizes.

I'm now struggling to fit into my XL tops, and (for obvious reasons, two of 'em, right in front of me, on my chest), the "plus size" options for activewear do not fit properly either. It's getting to a point where I'm likely to do an "incredible Hulk" number and bust out of my tops if I don't upsize soon.

Don't really want to wear menswear either, if I can help it.

I'm happy to buy online and / or pay upscale if necessary. I just need clothes that will stay put for active stuff and FIT.

So tell me, where do you more muscular ladies (especially across the back and shoulders) buy your everyday gymwear? I don't want to be arrested for indecent exposure!

Please help.

LOL - one sniff of estrogen and a mention of tits and the boys get all excited...TLG better be careful when you get gyno bro! :pfft: :grin:

OP - for local options have you asked Shane at Gymeez down there, or ask Phil at Sky Fitness what others have done?

Alternatively you should be able to get stuff out of aussie online - seems every second girl on the coast had a set of silly cones strapped to her chest there! :grin: Just a word of warning tho, Rockwear brand looks awesome but all the stuff we bought has falken apart / faded / misshapen very quickly.

Hope that's at least as helpful as FOTR's offer of a free out of jail card!

I missed the chest reference. Since she said she 'grew' out of her clothes I thought she meant shoulders and overall upper body size. Now I read it, it looks like Im asking how big her breasts are lol when I meant how much she weighs, etc.

OP why dont u go on a cut?

Crikey!

For clarification, I've put on back and shoulder muscle - a LOT of it! - and now can't fit into anything for sale in the regular gym clothing shops. The XLs for sale are too small. Size-wise, I'm 180 cms tall and broad-shouldered, which didn't help to start with. The extra muscle I've been piling on has just now made regular clothing options a deal breaker.

Does that explain things?

Why does this always have to come down to boobs with men! This ain't nothing to do with boobs.

*sigh*

Asks why it always has to come down to boobs with men.

Just to stir up the boys more Leanne... Have you noticed since putting on the muscle both front and back, the girls are more perky and need less support than before??

Although, like you I do notice that regular clothes don't accommodate the more refined shape that has developed.

Boys, and I use the term "boys", feel free to comment. I need A laugh! LMFAO

The girls are looking great - they never did need much support, but especially not now

But more than anything, I'm noticing my posture improving. Standing a lot better than I used to. The only downside of bodybuilding? My heels have been retired to the back of the shoe cupboard, shortened Achilles tendons that were stuffing my squats up have me in flats now. So I have to save the four inch heels for special occasions instead of every day

And yeah, finding general clothes that flatter is tricky. ..everything is too tight across the chest and too loose around the waist...not that that's a bad thing

At least you're making gains. The life of a bodybuilder, first world problems

Get outta here m8 unless u want a bashing this area of the schoolyard is mine! :pfft:

Helpful advice ay well I dunno how muscular you are but I guess after a year of training you may have gotten wider but not that much thicker yet right? You could research off fitness girls eg. Dana Linn Bailey (female bb'er)? I believe she has a clothing line of her own and if you just look at some of her other pics I suppose you could get some brand names? She is quite wide though I suppose your 'girls' might well be more out there. ... in fact I was just researching this very topic with female fitness / body figures .. now I'll go do more research on bigger 'girls' and get back to you with those names

Lol strong play brah.

@Leanne

Congrats on the results and posture improvement. If you have before and after pics get them up in the appropriate sub-forum (srs this time). I reckon posture improvement is the first big change that results from weight training and that's good inspirational stuff.

There seem to be a lot of men in the Ladies Room right now.

Haven't you guys got better things to do than discuss womens clothing?

Yeah that's actually a really good point. Some of us don't pay attention to posture improvements and only notice it when it becomes a problem lol.. I went from posterior pelvic tilt to an anterior one if I woulda paid attention as OP had then would not have to put in work to correct this now

lmao you think this is bad, there's another thread up about twilight and taylor lautner or something ... not in the ladies room :shock:

Serious respond though, the actual ladies don't seem to go on the forums daily or something so just think of us as the warm up act until the main party arrives

I'm getting that.

Shame on me for being a newbie and thinking that to ask a question about womens clothing in what looking like a womens forum might actually get women answering! LOL

Thanks to the people who offered constructive tips / links etc. though. I'll trawl the interwebs and see what I can find that fits.

Of all the things I thought might be an issue when I began this journey, I never thought clothing would be a problem. Still wrapping my head around the whole "stop watching the scale / watch the measurements instead" thing.

Oh, and whoever asked, yeah, I train at Olympic. Good gym.
