What’s a sleeveless hoodie?
It’s like a regular hoodie, but swole as hell!
Let’s face it, you love a tank top. Lifting is way better with your arms free to breathe. But you really don’t want to start a conversation about somebody’s houseplant or cat or new kitchen tile. You’re in the gym to get work done. Total GSD (Get Shit Done) mode.
Well, that’s easy. Put the hood up.
Put the hood up and get some work done. That’s the best part of a sleeveless hoodie. You can hit the gym and focus on the weights. No sleeves to bind up your shoulders and nobody coming up to you like “Hey bro, did you hear about the new spider man movie? It’s the 15th reboot and it sucks just as much as all the others before it. Instead of getting your next set done, let’s talk about it. In fact, we can talk so much you could finish your workout and see the whole movie and still have time leftover. Also my mother in law is in town this week and my cat has diarrhea and blah blah blah.”
Nope. Hood up.
That’s the glory of the sleeveless hoodie.
Just get in the zone and work. That’s what the gym is for anyways, isn’t it?
Here’s another advantage of the sleeveless hoodie. Most hoodies are made for cold skinny boys standing outside in the winter. Or those giant burrito hoodies for comfortable women on the couch. But you’re not standing outside in the winter. And if you were, you’d simply be melting snow with your body heat. After all, you’re not a 98 pound 19-year old that lifts off the ground slightly during high winds. You’re a man that doesn’t need a 3 inch thick parka to survive temperatures below 73 degrees. You just want something to cover up on your way to the gym. And since the gym requires shirts, well shit, you need one inside the building as well.
The sleeveless hoodie is a t-shirt level of thickness. It’s not super hot. You won’t sweat a gallon of stank between here and your car. You won’t use it for 3 minutes and then take it off, only to forget it in a pile by that plate loaded inclined bench press machine by the door. You can wear it the whole workout.
Then if you’re a complete tool, you can wear it on off days where you’re not even going to the gym.
Ok, just kidding on that one. I’ve never actually seen someone wear a sleeveless hoodie outside the gym. It’s not lululemon pants. You don’t use it to show how “athleisure” you are. You just use it to work. You take it to the gym and then remove it when you get home.
Yea, that’s right. The sleeveless hoodie is the new hotness. But only if you actually lift. Please don’t start wearing it to the grocery store. We don’t need another yoga pants trend for swole men. The yoga pants are great, let’s be honest, but really nobody cares to see your bare arms in the fresh vegetables section. It’s like the tank top a-shirt thing. You know. Those white “wife beater” shirts that make you look like you just stepped out of the trailer park to head to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with a case of Coors light. Let’s not wear those outside the house.
So maybe skip the sleeveless hoodie outside the gym. But for the gym, seriously, it’s the perfect shirt to get shit done. The sleeves say “screw you t-shirts, I’m here to work” and the hood says “hey buddy, not today, I’m here to work”.
In the next few weeks we’re going to pick out the absolute best sleeveless hoodies on the market today. We’ll go through all of them to find exactly which one is best. Until then, keep getting swole and jacked my friends. And check back soon for our complete review.
You’re at the gym. There’s a ton of people there, but that’s never bothered you. You just pull your hood up on your hoodie and look for the machine you need.
And you’re in luck. No one’s at the plate-loaded shoulder press machine. So, you set your bag down next to it, claiming it, while you search for the plates you need.
After loading the machine, you sit down and psych yourself up for your warm-up set. With hands on the grips, you press up, and… your stupid sleeves get in the way. You can’t get the range of motion you need.
The hoodie has got to go.
Could there be a better way?
