Why Crusher Shorts Are the Best Shorts for Squats
By Aaron
Squats test more than just your legs—they test your gear. A bad pair of shorts will fold under pressure faster than a beginner with a barbell on their back. If you’re serious about leg day, you need shorts that work as hard as you do.
Triple-stitched seams stand up to heavy barbell knurling.
Reinforced fabric resists tearing or stretching out.
2. Freedom of Movement
6.5-inch inseam hits the sweet spot between too short and basketball-long.
Flexible material gives you the mobility to hit full depth without restriction.
3. Smart Features
Reflective zipper pocket keeps your phone or keys secure.
Minimal bulk so nothing gets in the way of your lifts.
Why It Matters
Your gear should never hold you back. Crusher Shorts let you focus on adding weight, not adjusting your shorts mid-set.
Final Word
Next time you load the bar, do it in shorts that can keep up. Crusher Shorts are built for lifters, period.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are Crusher Shorts ideal for squats?
They’re built with a 6.5-inch inseam for deep squat mobility, triple-stitched seams that won’t rip under barbell stress, and flexible fabric that stays put during heavy lifts.
2. What features should I look for in squat-proof shorts?
Key features include reinforced seams, stretchable but durable fabric, and a secure fit that won’t bunch up. Functional pockets, like the reflective zipper pocket on Crusher Shorts, are a bonus.
3. Do Crusher Shorts work for other compound lifts?
Yes. Whether you’re deadlifting, benching, or lunging, they offer the same durability and range of motion you need for high-intensity training.
4. Are longer shorts worse for squats?
Longer shorts often restrict movement and ride up when you hit full depth. A mid-length inseam like 6.5 inches strikes the perfect balance.
5. How do Crusher Shorts hold up over time?
They’re built for repeated abuse. The durable fabric and stitching hold up even after months of heavy lifting and regular washing.
