Born Primitive Men's Compression Snatch Shorts

As expected, my weightlifting coach said that I only needed these because I am humping the bar too much on my snatch, that is a different discussion. Regardless, I have been being bruised on my hip bones and lower abdominal muscles when I have long snatch training sessions. While my form still needs work, after one workout with these shorts, I both feel more confident to keep going during long training sessions and have a good target for my touch. I was totally unbruised and I love the way these look and felt. The compression is good, though I do not own any other compression gear, so take that as you will. I have already begun recommending to my training partners that are experiencing the same pains I was during snatch. Try them!

These basically do what they are supposed to: add a bit of padding over the pubic bone for snatches. They work. As other have noted, the padding isn't as thick as you might expect. It feels more like close-cell foam than, say, bike short gel. It won't prevent all discomfort, but it is enough to prevent bruising, which is what matters.

Perfect weightlifting shorts for beginner! You can use it as a protection while you are learning how to do a proper hip contact. For professionals, you can wear this, but you probably want more feedback feeling from the barbell.

These work great for Crossfit workouts with snatch wods. I will be ordering more.

Protects the pelvisssss

Just a little extra padding for Olympic lifting. A great product, great fit! I think I'll order another pair ASAP.

Recommend for anyone who snatches.

Well made great product
