ARE JOCKSTRAPS PERFECT FOR WORKOUT?

When you are looking for comfort, briefs are there for you. If you are looking for a better sex appeal and support, men's boxer briefs and trunks are there for you and these styles can be used in the workout as well then why to invest specifically in jockstraps?

1. Jockstraps offer great support.

Jockstraps give a good amount of support while you are working out. Earlier when they were first made,the concept was to provide support to the genitals of male bicyclists and deliverymen because while a cycling male bicyclist was kept on bouncing which might lead to serious injury so their main purpose is to hold the genitals in place and keep excessive motion in control. The protective cup is the most important characteristic of men's jockstraps which one can’t find in other underwear styles.

2. Jockstraps are mandatory in the gym.

You must have heard that “ before going to the gym don't forget to wear your jockstraps”. Ever wondered why? You are aware of a fact that jockstraps consist of an elastic waistband that has a support pouch to protect the male genitals. Along with that, two elastic straps are connected to the base of the pouch and on the left and right sides are the waistbands attached to the hip. These straps help to keep everything at the place. Hence, it's important to wear them while working out in the gym.

The second reason is, in the gym, we perform various types of exercises such as overheard triceps extension, one hand triceps extensions, dumbbell press for shoulders, squats for thighs and whatnot. So the excessive weight which is around the midsection can put a lot of pressure and downward pull on muscles and organs which leads to a hell lot of burden on the weak spots that can lead to a hernia.

Hernia is a condition that happens when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. In a simple language, bulging of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening leads to hernia. Since jockstraps prevent excessive bouncing and heavy blows during the exercises so to some extent it can reduce the chances of hernia to happen.
