In the end, as with flip flops and wearing white after Labor Day, it's mostly just a matter of personal preference, albeit one that people seem to feel very, very strongly about.
Luckily, there's something for everyone. Whether you're always up for showing off the biceps you've worked so hard on or you prefer for the guns not to be out even if the sun is out, there's a shirt for you.
Those in favor...
Those on #TeamTankTop will appreciate these high-performance shirts, all made for sweating at the gym. And if you're bold enough, you can also wear them beyond the weight room. Godspeed.
Those against...
Of course, there are those who are absolutely anti-tank. No matter your reasons, you aren't exactly at a loss when it comes to options. There's plenty of room for everyone (and their fully-covered arms).
