Anybody use these things? I'm thinking about wearing one for box jumps. http://www.christiansfitnessfactory.com/index.php/vmchk/Weig hted-Vests/Power-Weighted-Vest-40-lbs ....or maybe taking the wifes and MIL's old ankle weights (that she never uses) and hanging them off of a web belt. |

Obviously you like it. Any thoughts about stressing out the knees? |

No and my knees are junk, my vest is home made and it weighs 20lbs. Its about a mile walk around the block and im chasing my son on his bike so its a fast walk to a jog at times. im just doing a slow drill when throwing. I just keep adding weight as I loose it. And Im down 40lbs since last year I need to bump up the weight on vest. ------------- North American Highlander Ohio Chair www.nahighlander.com |

You need to speak with Kent Durso, he does a whole routine with the weighted vest. And has been using it for years. Runs, squats, pushes a jeep, stone lift, all in like 10 min with one giant set. Very wild. ------------- Mule Sportkilt AST Sport Supplements |

I've got the X-Vest. Goes to 80 lbs. I will wear it when I squat and immediately go into plyo jumps after each set. Also adds weight to your squat but not to the bar. Also a nice thing for speed training and pullup's. ------------- Let'em Fly, Brother!-The Polish Prince http://www.newenglandstrength.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.newenglandstrength.com/ |
