Training shorts for ATG-style knees-over-toes work need to allow deep knee flexion without binding at the back of the knee or restricting the hip. Two shorts cover the full ATG training menu: athletic training shorts with pockets for general gym work and slant board sessions, and mesh shorts without pockets for high-volume sled days and floor-contact work. Below is the pick by training piece, the layout standard for branded gym shorts, and the per-piece pricing.
The two ATG training shorts
| Short | Best for | VIP cost |
|---|---|---|
| Athletic training shorts (7 inch inseam, with pockets) | General training, slant board, split squat, casual wear | $44.88 |
| Athletic mesh shorts (no pockets) | High-volume sled days, reverse Nordic, floor work | $26.88 |
| Youth mesh shorts | Junior athletes in ATG-style training programs | $26.88 |
Why pocket vs no-pocket matters for ATG work
Pockets on training shorts are useful for general gym training (phone, key, gym bag essentials), but on the bottom position of a deep split squat or during reverse Nordic curls the pocket fabric can bunch into the back of the leg. The mesh shorts (no pockets) cut the fabric volume around the knee and let the joint move through full range without any interference. Most serious ATG athletes own both: athletic shorts for general training, mesh shorts for the volume sessions.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
What shorts do you wear for ATG split squats?
Mesh shorts (no pockets) or athletic shorts with a 7-inch inseam. Both allow full knee range without binding at the back of the knee at the bottom of the split squat.
Are compression shorts good for ATG-style training?
Compression shorts can bunch at the back of the knee during deep flexion. Most serious ATG athletes pick athletic shorts or mesh shorts for the cleaner line through full range.
Can the gym logo print on both shorts and shirts in one shop?
Yes. Same logo file prints across both pieces with no per-garment setup fee.
Is there a minimum order for branded training shorts?
No. One pair or fifty, the per-piece price is the same.
