Train Heavier.
Run Faster.
Description
Add Resistance To Every Step.
Not To Your Form.
Ankle weights and loose gear throw off your stride and stress your joints. SWAG shorts sew the weight flat and even into a compression short — so you build speed and power with mechanics intact.
SWAG Strength Shorts
Size Guide
Size by your waist. The shorts are a compression fit — snug is right.
| Short Size | Waist / Hip | Typical Height | Fit Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth Large | 26–28″ | 4'8″–5'3″ | Compact youth build; snug compression. Great for younger athletes starting resistance training. |
| Adult Small | 28–30″ | 5'4″–5'8″ | Lean or smaller-framed athletes. Locked-in compression without excess fabric. |
| Adult Medium | 31–33″ | 5'7″–6'0″ | Average athletic build. The most common fit for high-school & college athletes. |
| Adult Large | 34–36″ | 5'9″–6'3″ | Stronger lower body; room through quads and glutes without looseness. |
| Adult XL | 37–40″ | 6'0″–6'6″+ | Power build or thicker legs. Maintains compression without restriction. |

Second-Skin Compression

- Even, low-profile weight distribution
- Stays locked through sprints & jumps
- Breathable, chafe-free compression
Power From The Ground Up
Loading the hips, glutes and quads — where your speed comes from — trains real explosiveness off the line, without ever changing how you move.
Dial It In: 10 to 15 lbs
Evenly distributed weight pockets adjust in ½-lb steps from a 10 lb base up to the 15 lb max — add resistance as you get stronger.
Smart Overload, Easy On Joints
Removable weights drop into pockets along the sides of the shorts — sitting evenly over the muscles that produce speed and power. Your body adapts to the added load while it stays low-profile and close to your center of mass.
Targeted overload. Weight sits over the glutes, hips and quads that drive sprinting and jumping — so those muscles get stronger and more explosive.
Easy on the joints. The load is even and held tight to the body — none of the swinging, shearing stress ankle weights put on knees and ankles.
Every age, scalable. Adjust in ½-lb steps from 10–15 lbs, so youth through pro can train safely and progress over time.
What It Does For Your Game
Lower-body resistance pays off everywhere explosiveness matters.

| Track & Sprints | A stronger drive phase and faster acceleration out of the blocks. |

| Soccer | Explosive sprints, a stronger shot, and late-game leg endurance. |
| Baseball / Softball | Faster base running and more rotational power at the plate. |
| Volleyball | A higher approach jump and quicker transition speed. |
| Wrestling | Relentless lower-body drive and mat conditioning. |
| Hockey / Lacrosse | More powerful strides and sharper change of direction. |
