Why do professional gymnasts always train shirtless ?

Question

Well of course I meant male gymnasts.

Answer 1

They do?  Even the women?

I've got to start hanging out at the gym more.

Answer 2

Heat, springs to mind, my daughter is a gymnast and the young lads at the gym all pull their tops down to cool off whenever possible. You have to remember that most gym gear is stretch so made from stuff like Lycra, Spandex etc, etc, so man made and very sweaty. If they could use cotton it would be better.

Answer 3

To get some attention from the ladies ;)

Answer 4

Mostly to show off

look at my mussels

Like you said men ha ha

otherwise it will be milkshake everywhere ha ha ha

Answer 5

Well, at my gym they dont. But I guess they would get hot.

Answer 6

They don't.

Well, sometimes, when they want to show off.

Answer 7

No, the women train with tops on.

To cool off and sometimes it's easier to move without extra clothing.

Answer 8

It's either to:

Show off their bodies(not women, lol.)

To gain best flexibility and lightness.

So nothing gets in the way, like shirts. but when I was a gymnast I had a shirt and short shorts on. I was one of the best. ^^

Now I gave up and is now chubby, I'm on a diet now and excercise regularly.
