Few things are cooler than hitting a new PR on your dead lift and walking away with your spinal cord still attached to your pelvis.  And nothing can ruin that high more than watching some guy use the squat rack to hit his 15th set of bicep curls because he doesn’t want to pick the 65 lb. bar from the ground. Another thing that can ruin your high after deadlifting 2.5x your body weight, is taking a shower at your gym where the only option of soap is some generic, unisex scented soap, that was designed to be as unoffensive as possible to both sexes, but that very process has made it extremely undesireable to either gender!   That’s why now that the shower at CrossFit Sweat Shop is up and running you’ll find an assortment of name brand cleaning options that best fit your needs.

Pictured above are two of the men’s soap options: Old Spice Red Zone Double Impact is for guys who are serious about getting clean. The back of the container even describes one of the features, “Advanced Cleaning – removes the toughest dirt…” Clearly this soap isn’t for your average dirt. And when you squeeze some out of it’s container you’ll see that it resembles laundry detergent, only much thicker and more concentrated. This stuff is so strong, some guys have reported it helps to even clean their driving record and credit history!

Axe Snake Peel has attitude written all over it!  When you think of warrior plants, you think of the cactus…right?  Snake Peel contains cactus oil… it doesn’t get much more manly than that!   Snake Peel is also about confidence.  The type of confidence it takes to pull an all-nighter at the bar when you’ve got your biggest presentation of the year at 7am the next morning.  Or perhaps you’re at a local CrossFit competition, the rules of the workout state you must take 155lbs. from ground to overhead “any way possible”, for 30 reps.  While the entire field of competitors performs a clean and jerk, there is that one guy who knocks out 30 snatches at 155lbs.  Check his gym bag… it’s not steriods, its not fish oil…. it’s Snake Peel.

Don’t worry ladies, women’s soaps are also available.
