Pukie the Clown CrossFit Socks

Pukie the Clown CrossFit Socks

He's finally HERE! After thinking about this sock for so long, we estimated about 6 months, we finally have PUKIE THE CLOWN!

Now for those of you who don't know, or those of you who don't CrossFit, Pukie the Clown is a metaphor. A metaphor for when you work out so hard, with such an intensity, your body vomits. In a sense, you meet Pukie. As a budding wimp 

Now if you're really intense, you'll meet his Uncle Rhabdo. 

 

Uncle Rhabdo

Now Uncle Rhabdo originates from a different breed of CrossFit WOD- a WOD challenging you to work so hard, your organs fall out. (Sounds perfectly healthy if you ask me).

Our socks are funny! Our socks have sole protection and arch support! How funny would it be if you gave one of your friends the honorary Pukie the Clown socks, when they puke as a beginning CrossFitter? 

Priceless.

You can MEET PUKIE THE CLOWN HERE!

And check out our entire line of CrossFit socks made for the Crossfit Community.

The GRENADE CrossFit Socks and Explosive Training

An "Explosive" Performance Sock

Why do I love these socks so much? I don't know why, I just do. The simplicity of the grenade symbolizes so much. To me, mostly strength. 

It's strong. It's Explosive. It's demanding. It's everything I want for a symbol of an athlete: Strength, Agility, Aggression, and Determination.

I did coach swimming for two years at Claremont McKenna College. It's a small private school in sunny Claremont, California and also my home town. While learning as much as I could as an Assistant Coach, I wanted to be more creative and more innovative with the sets I created. As a distance swimmer miler, (I swam the event that requires lap counters and hours of time for all the heats), I was bored. Seriously, what is more boring and challenging than starting practice, and spinning your arms and kicking your legs for two hours STRAIGHT?


The hard question I had to ask myself was, how do I make this interesting? How do I challenge myself to create an innovative practice?


The answer came to me one day: Explosive Training.

IRON Cross CrossFit Socks!

Iron Cross Ultimate CrossFit  Socks

 So when we went to the 2012 CrossFit Regionals, we did notice a few details about the CrossFit culture and community: it all had to do with edginess. Edginess because the Sport of Fitness is not only a Gym revolution, but also a cultural revolution. With the rebellious spirit against the LA Fitness and cookie cutter Globo-Gyms of the world, CrossFit embraces diversity, individuality, and competing in a futuristic tense. 

A facet of the alternative culture we noticed, besides from the heavy metal blaring during the dumbbell snatch event, was the prevalence of tattoos. This links back to the shift about embracing diversity and individuality - these people have it. Within the arena holds a certain and precise enthusiasm, a magic if you will.  People have 

We thought a Maltese Iron Cross with the words "CrossFit" inside, would be killer. What do you think?

Remind you of West Coast Choppers?

That's the beauty of all of this: we can create whatever we want.

The Ultimate CrossFit Socks in PINK!

It's time for the ladies to get some great socks! 

So we knew our Ultimate CrossFit socks look great, but we knew they'd look a lot better in pink. Hundreds of girls ordered our Striped Skull socks, so we thought we'd continue with a pink version of our Original CrossFit Socks. 

What makes them so special? It definitely has to do with the pink notches surrounding the heel and front of the foot. The texture and weaving of the sock, around the base of the foot, provides compression support for your Achilles Tendon and sole of the foot.

Kettlebell Socks, Poods, and Swings!

Introduction to our Kettlebell Socks
Now check these bad boys out. We know CrossFit people love stripes, but we know they love Kettlebells more. At the So Cal CrossFit regionals, we saw nothing but Kettlebell, Kettlebell, KETTLEBELLS! Being a major part of the workout, and the equipment seen in the gym, the Kettlebell is intrinsic to the CrossFit culture.

What is a POOD?
I started to research about Kettlebells, and a lot of pictures on Google Images came up with the word "Pood". The first idea popped into my head was being 7 and thinking the word POOED was funny. Pood has nothing to do with fecal matter. Well, as a young person of my generation I always consult the most reliable source, wikipedia, when I need to know something. So here is what Wikipedia says about what a POOD is :

Pood (Russian: пуд, pud), is a unit of mass equal to 40 funt (фунт, Russian pound). It is approximately 16.38 kilograms (36.11 pounds).^[1] It was used in Russia, Belarus andUkraine. Pood was first mentioned in a number of documents of the 12th century.

This is not a Pood

This looks like some good Pooding

Wrapping Up
I understand how this applies to a WOD and I think it's a great exercise. It raises your heartrate, works your core, and trains a lot of muscles within your body. No wonder these CrossFit people are in such impeccable shape.

Preparing for the CrossFit Games 2012- More Kettlebell

We know the CrossFit games are going to be HUGE this year. Last week, the 2011 CrossFit games were on TV, and a lot of my friends were very confused about the whole workout event. I went to the regionals last week, and man was I impressed. But anyways, we asked ourselves, what would be the coolest, most bitchin' retail socks we could create?

"More Kettlebell" CrossFit Socks

We took the inspiration from this SNL clip:

We hope you like the socks and find them comical. Also, we do know that our socks have the best quality, and are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. 

So we're looking forward to the CrossFit Games and hoping to see everyone compete. We will probably head down there July 13-15 to see everyone from around the world to compete.

I will post videos from the So Cal Regionals soon.

You can always check out our CrossFit socks at Amazon here:
