Lululemon dog, everything is gucci. I think I'm gonna start buying stuff from the Dick's Sporting Goods house brand.

I really liked the old LuLu Surge shorts with the brief liner. The new version with the boxer-brief liner doesn't work with my body. The legs end up bunched up around the top of my thighs in the first half mile. I wish they would go back to the old liner. As it is, I have had to find different shorts.

Agree with others that the quality is excellent. I watch for their stuff to go on sale. I have several very funky colored shorts that were bought off the sale rack.

None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.

I didn’t/don’t read it with any connotation. Just conjures up an image of a gym rat. Just like “lean endurance athlete” or “I’m built like a swimmer, I suck at running.”

The last suit I bought was $80 including shirt and shoes



😂

That's fair. If that was the intent, I'm off base here.

Same here. I don't mind dropping big cash on certain items...trisuits, 3L goretex shell, ski pants, raw denim, luggage. I go by the by once-cry once mentality when purchasing expensive things, I want them to last, not be made by slaves, and support artisans I want to succeed. With that in mind, dropping the cash doesn't hurt. I enjoy supporting manufacturing done outside of China by skilled artisans using highly technical fabrics and smart engineering. I consider the extra cost of quality materials and North American/European manufacturing worth the higher price tag. But when they stuff is only expensive because it has a certain brand label on it, it's just a scam for hypebeasts, so CEOs can line their pockets.

These shirts are 100% recycled polyester that is seamless. That's all good. But 80 bucks for a polyester t-shirt like made in Asia isn't something I'm interested in, unless it directly supported Lionel or Triathlon in some way.

Well, looks like basically everything is sold out, so not a problem.

(I 100% agree, btw.)

There are some XL and XXL left for the "gym bros". Looks like all the "sissy boys" bought everything else.

I’m sticking with my overpriced Nike stuff. It has always worked best for me.

Generally I don't do lined shorts and there are very few unlined shorts being put out by Nike right now. The best shorts I've liked for the past couple of years are Under Armour Speed Pocket shorts. But I also have to wear a compression jock to protect the thunder thighs.

I have some Under Armour shorts too and they are definitely in my rotation. I also have some old C9 shorts from Target that I like to run in. At the end of the day you have to find what works best for you and it sounds like you have done that. As I mentioned given a choice I like Nike for their designs and longevity.

I'll skip the roids, thanks.

It’s good to see he creates his own brand and works with Lululemon to come up with the stuff. I can’t afford something like that so I won’t be able to buy but it’s good to see triathletes find different way to do business and make money besides coaching. Good for him.

Hey man, squatting and deadlifting double your bodyweight doesn't take roids. And for someone who's "lean" it should be easy, since you're probably 120lbs? Right?

Chill homie.

Are they just selling tshirts with his slogan or are they designing tri friendly gear that he’ll be testing out? I’ve got a good amount of lulu stuff, and it’s good for training ... (can’t say the best stuff I’ve ever owned ...) but no I certainly wouldn’t be paying $80 for just a T-shirt with a slogan on it.

If I had to guess it won't be triathlon specific. Just activewear.

Lulu running shorts are by far the best I've worn. I love the lined pace breaker 7". I've got 4 pairs in my closet. Their gear really is top notch.

Long Chile was a silly place.

Nope. 64kg.I don't see the point of being able to squat or deadlift double my body weight.

LuLu's work out/lounge/running tights/pants fit skinny well. Their shirts and short..........well I will be polite and say you need to be "fluffy" for them to fit because they are baggy.

i hear ya. the new ones are rubbish. going to be really sad when my old brief lined ones finally bit the bullet.

What's the point in carrying extra mass if it isn't functional? It puts added stress on your organs.

Try out Bear Bottom Clothing’s run shorts if you like unlined shorts.

I can’t bring myself to pay lulu prices. I completed a strava challenge and had a discount code. I gave it to a friend because even with the discount, it was ridiculous.

Functional in what way?


Doubt anyone is talking talking 300lbs in this forum, so organs won't notice.

Why don't we just work out 30 minutes per day? Any extra isn't beneficial to health.

People do what they do because they enjoy it. Including triathletes who waste huge amounts of time and money on all kinds of useless stuff.
