The challenge

The Foundation Short is built to stand up to the wear-and-tear of the hardest workouts. Every element of the short ensures bombproof durability over the long haul, no matter how you wear it. Always focused on building what he calls "real world horsepower," Bobby Maximus trains for strength, speed, and maximum endurance. A believer that "to be athletic, strong, and powerful – better yet, a true silverback – you need to train like one," Bobby demands gear that will handle his brutal regimen.

The Verdict

THE HARDEST MAN IN THE YARD

They say fake it till you make it. I haven't ever faked a thing in my life. I'm as real as it gets.

The only shorts that are as real as me are these Ten Thousand Foundation shorts. Tough enough to handle anything I throw at them.
