Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Anyone ever train with a weight vest? I'm thinking of making the investment. It really is an investment because it looks like it'll be $250-300 :/

Generally tho I don't mind paying top dollar for stuff I'll get use out of. I'm a firm believer in doing it right the first time.
Using a weight vest to train is something I'm finding more and more appealing. Just thinking about the strength and power I'll develop.... muahahahah.

It comes with 75lbs in removable weights. Depending on the the activity I'll vary the weight and then work my way up to using the full 75 for everything.
It'll be my new best friend. We'll be inseparable=] |

It definitely looks very interesting.....it'll probably improve your overall conditioning a LOT...I still say you should go with strapping a midget to your chest though, think of the camaraderie you'll develop. Will a weighted vest be able to give you that?

The increase in core strength and subsequent increase in punching/kicking power... woot 
I almost feel like I should keep it a secret so that no one else at my gym trains with one on. lol. |

That's pretty sneaky........but you're training to beat the competition so I guess you should probably keep it under wraps.
Cores strength is bound to go up.........lemme know how it works for you dude.
