When I was doing pttp, I forgot my gym clothes once so I hit the deadlift in my jeans. That was the first time I hit 1.5xbw for 5 and the jeans didnt cause any trouble
Surely counts as equipped lifting

5.11 makes great pants. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Don’t train nekkid, though. Swings can get a little dicey.It does not really matter...some days I just train in my underwear that's the beauty of training at home
I can't stand training in 'pants' (in the UK pants are your underwear but I'm keeping with your term for trousers here).
And since the topic of training nekkid was mentioned, last night I had a dream that I was doing the Olympic lifts nekkid. No joke. Not a pleasant dream. Let's just say things got in the way.
Hi Christian! I was so focused during the training that I have no recollection of your pants! What brand/type are they?
Soccer warm up pant? I didnt realize soccer had special sweat pants. Time to google....
I hope the barbell in your dream didn't have center knurling ;-).
Yup, they make them. Check Under Armor or Adidas.Hi Christian! I was so focused during the training that I have no recollection of your pants! What brand/type are they?

My SFG instructor- Christian Baldia kindly brought me back 2 pairs of tactical pants from his overseas trip. I will be wearing one of them during today's 'Dry Fighting Weight' training. I can already feel the additional mental fortitude that wearing 'tactical' pants provides. Now....where did I put my balaclava? (refer to page 64 S&S for balaclava + tactical pants use)
I have the 511 pants and do not like them at all for training. Very restrictive with no elastic component at all. I have Kuhl pants which work great for training, just stretchy enough but look professional at the same time . I believe they are what Zar is wearing in the picture on the front page of this website.So which 5.11 pant is the Strongfirst approved uniform? I just tried a TGU in my jeans and I believe it added about 10% additional effort. I just looked at the 5.11 instructor pants and they advertise them as "too heavy to train in, but perfect for everything else".......I don't think I want those pants.
The Prana Zion is my favourite go to pant for rock climbing, KB training , Tai-Chi, and pretty much anything else...I'm a *huge* fan of these Prana Stretch pants for training. I bought them when I assisted at my first SFG and I never stopped wearing them. Super movement friendly (I can do everything in these), they look great, they're durable, and you can roll them up and snap them if you need to.
