Underwear is usually the first thing which we put on in the morning, and last thing which we take off just before turning in to bed, so you would guess a lot of thought goes into which pair you slip your legs through. Unfortunately, for most men, underwear is the last thing we think about. On the other hand, there are those of us who put the most thought into this hidden piece of clothing, but are a slave to the thought that their favorite style, whether it be a brief or boxer is best for all occasions.This small anomaly could not be more present than when going to the gym.
There are two major styles of underwear that will give you the support that you need while not hindering your sense of style while working on sculpting your body.
The Classic Jock
This favorite of gym rats, yet supportive and sexy, is overused. You really only want to don this supportive piece when your workout consists of heavy cross training or contact sports like wrestling or ultimate football. I have always been happy with the classic white jockstrap, made by Bike. If you are not a big fan of the wide waist band, I would suggest the runner's jock.
Sports Boxer Brief
When spending a regular day at the gym, either pumping a little iron or spending a short period of time on the treadmill, I tend to wear sports boxer briefs. My pick are these black and gold trimmed boxer brief made by Unico. It may be a pricey choice, but I have found that the combination of lycra and cotton are conducive of comfort and moisture evaporation. Sports Boxer Briefs come in all shapes and sizes, but a good place to start is by looking at trunk briefs, which come in both low-rise and full-cut versions.
So the next time you head to the gym, don't just pack your trainers, but grab the right under-things. Believe me, it will make your work out that more enjoyable.
