Have you ever had a revelation that sort of changed everything?

For me, it was wearing compression pants (leggings) when squatting heavy. The reason is simple: it makes putting on knee sleeves an infinite breeze. If you're hairy like me, putting on (tighter) knee sleeves can be like giving yourself an involuntary waxing.

Now I can't go back to squatting heavy without compression pants.

In the very same way, I and many others can't really go back to wearing any other shorts other than our Raskol Classic Lifting shorts.

The reasons are obvious once you try them on.

They're light, super comfortable, accent your legs really well and it doesn't hurt that I've gotten the most compliments about my legs while wearing them (it's almost like they make my nonexistent calves...not be the focus anymore).

These shorts have a dedicated following and I completely understand it. I tried wearing a pair of “normal” shorts the other day and I thought I was in a Limp Bizkit music video.

Shit was hanging loose, down to my knee, looking boxy. And all the attention was therefore placed right back on my calves.

Hell no.

Right now we have these Classic Shorts IN stock on our website in 5 unique colours. We made sure to stock up because this is a Hot Boy (& Girl) Summer. The shorts are unisex, men go with your regular size, for women it would be whatever you typically wear in men's sizes.

Don't forget you can still use our discount code SUMMER at checkout to save 10%.

It's time to ditch those boxy, boring shorts and get on the Raskol wave. That is, unless you want to remind everyone of Fred Durst.

But I wouldn't recommend it.
