These Black shorts stay put no matter how intense the workout gets.
I had high hopes for these shorts, but after only a few washes, the stitching on one of the side seams started unraveling. For a short designed for heavy lifting, I expected better durability. It's disappointing to have to repair them so soon.
These are my go-to for leg day; they move with you.
These shorts are definitely built to last through tough workouts. The material feels really durable and I appreciate the locked-in fit around the thighs, especially for squats and deadlifts. However, they run a bit snug, so if you prefer a slightly looser feel or are between sizes, I'd recommend going up one. The secure pockets are a nice touch for keys or a card.
