Gym Mirrors

[mickdoo]

I dont know about your gym but mine has circus mirrors. I mean they actually make you look way bigger than you really are. Its kind of a joke. I see guys just constantly starring at themselves in the mirror. I tell them you dont look that big. The mirrors are false.

They are false .. They are positioned to make you look " bigger " Great if you are a bodybuilder but the shits if you are a fat man or woman . I have to tell my clients about our gym mirrors on the first day so they don't go running out of the gym crying . When I train them I need them to look forward and many people can't look at their own reflection .
I suspect in a fitting room or bathing suit store the mirror is rotated 90 degrees to make people think they are slimmer .

Lol ..That said . I know where the best lighting and mirrors are my gym to stand in front of .. Can't tear myself away from them

So many mirrors have some sort of magnification. That's also why you look different in different mirrors.

Haha, mine are so old that they make everything look like shit. There's spots all over them that resemble rust on metal, but they serve the purpose.

at my gym they have those gay foil mirrors that you would see on a kids toy from china, sad thing they just built this gym two years ago.

When I was on college, working our at a previos Golds, the mirrors in the free weight room were the shortening, widening and in the aerobics room were the lengenthing. It was very subtle though. Denton, TX in mid 90's actually.

True in my gym, the overhead floresence lights right next to the Incline makes me look big and ripped and some cuts in the abs. Now move towards another mirror and I look flat and fat

Lighting is HUGE in the way you appear.
