2019 Premium Training Short Guide ($60+)

[@hunterreed9049]

Remember when shorts didn’t cost as much as a low end pair of training shoes? Pepperidge farm remembers

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

Amazon Essentials’ Woven Stretch 7” Trianing Shorts and their Peak Velocity 5” Men’s Build-Your-Own Run Short are only like $20 dollars.

[@htdkgaming7642]

Ten Thousand shorts are easily my favorite shorts ever, completely worth the money.

[@hanjin1]

You should do a 2019 workout shirt review as well

[@joeyarmstrong8682]

Bought some 10 Thousands today based off your reviews. Thanks for great vids, and showing LIFTS in them.

[@mellorland]

Finally a good shorts review! I just went through 10+ videos and this is by far the best one. Thank you!!

[@awwwyeah206]

Have you tried Legends shorts?

[@ct_bangin4390]

I own Hylete shorts, Virus shorts and various others, but nothing matches the fit and quality of my TenThousand shorts. While the Interval short may be more comfortable, you can’t find another short on the market that’s as bomb proof as the Foundation short with the same impeccable fit. I happen to own four pair.

[@ajmunn1229]

If only they ever had them in stock!

[@superseiyan]

Can you do HIIT or sprints in foundation without the Velcro and drawstring getting in way too much? I’m new to the brand and have tacticals on the way but I need two pairs of shorts. If one pair can double up at a casual brunch if I’m on holiday in Miami would be good!!

[@ct_bangin4390]

@@superseiyan The foundation shorts have a ton of stretch. Think sweatpants with a drawstring. They’re comfortable without tying them, but you won’t get caught with your pants down if you do.

[@waldocam10]

Great review! Glad you went into so many different brands.

[@salvador2052]

[@flipninja55]

I have to say that I love shorts with liners and hate shorts with flat waist bands. I recently bought the lulu surge and pace breaker, the TenThousand Interval, Cubbies 5inch. Surprisingly the best looking and fitting were the Chubbies. Had to return the surge because I thought they looked ugly and the Interval because the liner was the worst of the bunch. I want to try out the Vuori Stockton but I’m struggling to get over the liner poking out under the short. The other one I want to try is the BirdDog, but if the liner isn’t good for barbell days, then I’d say it’s a no go.

[@AMRAP]

Birddogs liner is a little too comfortable...I'd be worried about clipping the tip throwing barbell around

[@flipninja55]

As Many Reviews As Possible thanks for the tip. I’ll avoid getting that one now!

[@bobverber8969]

First pair of lulu’s and rogues look very cool

[@phyton1234]

Thanks man for the video and for the discount code. Already bought a pair! Hope I ordered the right size. The size chart is not as helpful as other brands, that's the only thing I can complain about so far...

[@GymNeedham]

Have you ever reviewed any Hylete shorts with the pockets on the hips?

[@10ktony]

Gym Needham I don’t think they’re his style of short. Hylete shorts are way too long and to wide in the leg opening. I personally like the fuse short, but the lengths are either too long or too short.

When I contact Bird Dog, they send me a mailing link that shows they are en route, but with no delivery date. I have asked for a refund. I spent $109 and cannot get any help from customer service. I would not order from them again. Poor customer service. Cindy Hart

[@johnweihs2409]

If you wanted to get good replaceable ones, Walmart Russell athletics has a bunch of different ones and there’s a brand called athletic something that is good too for $10.

[@AMRAP]

[@masanchezl]

@@AMRAP I know you review only new products, and want use that nobody can buy. I bought my shorts on eBay used or with discount and all the reebok series had been very good for me, even on the official page I bought two crossfit shorts for 45 and are very well made. They are with tags of 50dls each.... Unfortunately here in Mexico the expensive line up is not for sell, so the best shorts that one can get are the epic series, and even are half print (all black at the back) they are very good for me. I will look the other video of reviewing cheaper shorts. By the way, those nobull shorts I never use, they look for girl, booty style

[@AMRAP]

Miguel Sanchez I don’t just use things no one else can buy, which is why there’s a budget friendly video coming. I like cheap stuff as much as the next guy but that doesn’t mean $60+ shorts arent usually better. I don’t like the epic shorts because they’re too long and fit goofy. Material and waistband are fine, if they made them like a booty short I’d wear them.

[@masanchezl]

@@AMRAP the no bull looks like underwear, the only thing that I had use sometimes are running shorts, but mainly in the running track or street long distances races. The epic shorts that I told you aren't long, maybe is different model, but with them I can squat without issues, they arent too long or to short just fit like I want.The only negative point for me.is that feels more plastic and aren't so flexible like premium shorts. And about the cord, I notice that the first expensive crossfit reebok short can break with time (nasty hero versions, don't have a ring over the cord so material became to deform or rip). I will wait the budget video shorts. Thanks

[@AMRAP]

Miguel Sanchez May be a different short, the epic shorts I have cost $50-65 depending on if they have CrossFit branding. You should look into the Austin shorts, they’re the best Reebok makes.

[@dave3823]

Perfect timing on the video! I was just about to drop some money for 10k Foundation Shorts. I got concerned at the last second due to reviews. Granted there isn’t a lot of negative ones but they had a common theme of slow customer service and sizing issues. More concerned with people saying sizing is way off and more than acceptable size variance between colors. Anyone have issues with either?

Dave I haven’t run into issues with sizing or shipping, but I have also heard stuff about processing taking a long time.
