Title pageChapter one

LiftLux

Made to move like you do

Most shorts fail at the bottom of a squat.

This pair does not. What follows is how it is built, and what it is built against.

Chapter two

You already know the moment.

Rep nine. You are set, you are braced, and part of your head is on your waistband instead of the bar.

You have felt it slide before. You have pulled it back up mid-set before. So now you check. Every single time.

That check costs you the set.

A woman standing at the end of a heavy set beside a loaded barbell on a chalked gym floor, hands on her hips, catching her breath.
The last thing on your mind before a heavy set should be your breath. Not your shorts.

Chapter three

Six ways a pair of shorts fails you.

  1. It rolls down.

    Third set in, the waistband folds over on itself and starts travelling south. Now you are lifting and holding your shorts up at the same time.

  2. It digs in.

    A band that is too narrow has to grip harder to stay put. You can still see the mark in the car park.

  3. It rides up.

    The hem creeps between your thighs on the walk between machines, and by the second circuit it is chafing.

  4. It goes see-through.

    Thin fabric stretched over a deep squat stops being fabric. You usually find out from somebody else's photograph.

  5. It holds sweat.

    It soaks, it stays wet, and it is still wet when you get in the car.

  6. It needs adjusting.

    Every one of the above ends the same way. You stop reaching for them, and they live at the bottom of the drawer.

Every one of those is a construction problem. Not a you problem.

Chapter four

Structure first. Then fabric. Then fit.

Close detail of the wide high-waist band lying completely flat against the skin of a lifter's lower back, chalk dust across it.

The waistband

A high anti-roll band, cut wide enough to lie flat instead of folding. It holds without gripping, so it does not roll down and it does not leave a mark.

Close detail of the contoured panel seam running down the outside of a bent thigh, the seam flat and unbroken.

The panels

Contoured U-frame and C-frame panels that follow the leg through a full squat instead of stretching flat across it. Seamless build. No padding and no foam.

Close detail of the short's hem sitting flat at the inner thigh, a fine silicone grip band along the inside edge.

The hem

A silicone grip on the inside edge keeps the hem exactly where you put it. Nothing travels, so nothing chafes.

Nylon and spandex. Four-way stretch. Moisture-wicking. Seamless. Sizes S to XL.

None of that counts until it holds at the bottom.

A woman under a loaded barbell on a lifting platform, descending into a deep back squat, the fabric of her training shorts stretched taut and completely opaque.

All the way down, under load, and back to the same place every rep. This is the only test that settles it.

Squat proof. Fully opaque. Every rep.

Worn here: the Signature Short. Nylon and spandex, four-way stretch, seamless.
