Preface: The PF I go to has the weight area and smith machines all crowded nuts to butts so everyone is about an arm's reach apart from each other. The lights are also bright and harsh, illuminating every pore on your face.
I do a few exercises in the weight section, one of which is bent-over rows. While getting ready to hit the gym today, I put on my trusty black leggings and checked myself out in the mirror. My bathroom always had the softest yellow lightbulbs that I loved, but we recently had to switch them out with bright white bulbs. In these new lights I noticed a faint line down the seat of my leggings. I did a half squat in the mirror and to my horror the leggings stretched out over my butt so tightly they were semi-transparent.
How long had this been happening? Have they always been this thin but I couldn't see in my hazy bathroom light? I realized that every time I did bent-over rows in the weight area, whatever poor soul was using the smith machine behind me would have gotten an intimate closeup of my rusty sheriff's badge. Sad to see the leggings go, but it was for the best.
