  • Contact Shorts that Work as Hard as You Do

    Contact Shorts that Work as Hard as You Do

    [vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]I finally got my hands on a pair of JC Athletic Contact Shorts and I am loving them. In fact, I have been wearing them, here at home, pretty much constantly since I got them.

    I have always maintained a rigorous regimen when I try gear out. My goal is always to get the most good, hard wear out of a garment, in the shortest amount of time, before I offer my review.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”2em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]

Better construction than some of the garments I have from the, “ahem” big names, the labels that you see at every gym.

    JC ATHLETIC CONTACT SHORTS:  Expectations exceeded.

    100% polyester fabric might frighten some off, being that polyester has, especially in athletic wear, has not been the nicest of fabrics to endure. Whether it be from friction or just being too wet against the skin, polyester of the past has not been kind to us.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”2em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_message message_box_color=”green” icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-leaf”]

    SUSTAINABILITY

    One way to consider your environmental footprint is to consider looking at clothing that can serve you more than one purpose.

    Versatility and flexibility are habits to a clean future.[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space height=”2em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text][adning id=”6178″][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space height=”2em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]All of that changes with this polyester fabric. In fact, the inside of these shorts feels like soft fleece.

    Zero pilling and the fabric remains soft and feels good on my jock-strapped ‘behind’; whether I am sweaty after a workout or I have been sitting at my desk working on projects for hours on end.

    These shorts have gone with me all day from the time I wake up until I lounge in front of the television.

    For someone that prefers to be nude at home; I think this statement carries some weight worth noting.

    The number one feature that make these shorts so truly versatile, is the zippered pockets. One problem when one is nude at home, and either doing chores, tasks or working; where to you keep your phone?

    My phone has become my doorbell, the remote control for my TV, music, lights, climate control and once in a super blue moon, I make a phone call. But also, my phone is often required for 2 Factor Authorization. Dropping my phone in my pockets as a walk from one work station to the other; means I am not dropping my phone on the floor.

    Further, I can drop my keys, credit card in the pocket and not worry that they won’t be there when I get back home. When we are back at the gym, be sure your important items stay zipped up in your pocket with you.

    Extra detailing includes the back panel for full “butt highlighting” as well as safety feature of reflective logo and text on the shorts. Super versatile and available in sizes small to double extra large, and in colours; black, heather grey, red and blue.

    I ordered a second pair half way through writing this; I think you should try a pair for yourself.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6319″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” onclick=”custom_link” css_animation=”right-to-left” animation_delay=”2″ link=”https://www.jockstrapcentral.com/productdisplay.php?product=17201&aid=091665″ el_id=”jump”][vc_cta h2=”JC Athletic Contact Shorts: A Year Later” h4=”There are few items of clothing, that I have had in my lifetime, that have gotten as much wear, as have my JC Athletic Shorts.” el_width=”md” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”Read More” btn_shape=”square” btn_color=”black” btn_align=”right” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fturnipstyle.com%2F2022%2Fjc-athletic-contact-shorts-a-year-later%2F”]I do not start a review, until I’ve really given a garment a good amount of “wear and tear”, to simulate natural degradation over time. These shorts have impressed me so much, moreover given I am wearing them all the time. And, you can barely tell by looking at them.[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

  • ADAPTING YOUR WORKOUT

    ADAPTING YOUR WORKOUT

    I have been following, some of you quite closely I will admit, as people post on their social media platforms; progress on & gripes about their “altered” work out regime, due to physical distancing and other preventative health measures as outlined by health officials.

    More so, I have been focused on those of you that are posting positively about your experiences. Not so much as a show off but more so in a “wow didn’t think I’d get such a good work out in” or even better is “wow when did that bump and groove start to grow?”

    That leads me to asking these questions and I would love to hear your responses; just leave a comment in the comment section below.

    1. What have you learned about yourself since you have made changes to your exercise routine?
    2. What achievements have you made since changes?
    3. What are you able to do better now; versus than when you were going to the gym?
    4. Has the need to be creative made working out fun again?

    Drop a few notes in the comments below; or if your experience is more personal, feel free to just email me directly.

    I hope to hear from ya!

    Cheers, turnip.

  • A NEW HATE LOVE RELATIONSHIP

    A NEW HATE LOVE RELATIONSHIP

    Quick question.

    What do you hate to do the most at the gym but that produces the best results for you?

    Scrolling through any social media you can always find some dudes that are complaining about “leg day” or “cardio” or that the juice bar didn’t cut the crusts off the PBJ sandwich before putting it into the smoothie. [We joke]

    But, seriously, what do you hate to do the most but gives you the results you love the most. This can be anything. Tangible or not.
