Gents, first of all let me say I have knocked about twenty pounds off my frame in the last month and half or so. I simply cut way back on meal size, leave the high fat foods alone on most occasions, limit snacking, and most importantly, tried not to worry about it too much. I started doing this in late July and my wife started noticing it in about two weeks. Yesterday she told me she could really notice it. I weighed myself for the first time in a long time as was somewhere between 18-20 pounds lighter. I can tell you it makes a world of difference in mobility. Okay, got that part under control.
My wifey and I have also joined a gym and I am attending regularly. It has quickly become apparent I need an athletic supporter and I don't mean a cheerleader.
It is a bit embarrassing to even ask about such things and a trip to two or three stores yielded some very weird looks from the clerks. And yes, I will admit to being a bit old fashioned and only asked the men about it. I just cannot ask a female about such things. Not in a store. Good thing too since they all essentially acted like they had no clue what I was asking for. Oh they got what I meant, they just didn't get what it was so to speak. It seems most guys are using some sort of support underwear these days.
A bit of online searching yields many but most of them seem hell bent on including a plastic cup of some sort and this is not needed for non-contact stuff like workouts. I am afraid if you remove the cup the rest of the garment may not work quite as intended. So with that out of the way, are any of you using any sort of support for gym workouts? If so, what brand and where do you buy? Amazon seems a good choice. Big selection and good prices but the reviews are all over the place on nearly every model. Sorry to ask such a question but I am about thirty five years out of the loop on this one.

I've been training for years, including Olympic lifting and I've never tagged myself. Unless you're extremely well endowed or into contact sports UA Heat Gear compression shorts or any companies version will be enough.
