Doesn't seem necessary. It also sounds like a lot of stress on your lower back and makes for a possibly socially awkward situation =P.Quote:

it comes with 20 2 lb weights so i can have it at any weight
what do you think is good ammnt
do you plan on moving up in wieght classes or something ???
this isnt for boxing
i dont box really ^^ just doin this to get stronger
Munk3y to what end? Why are you training...is it so you handle yourself should the need arise? Just for fun?
If you give us an idea about what you are training for then we could offer some advice.
pretty much for fun.. i just like excersizing allot, and building up my strength
i dont really excersize in case i ever need to fight, but just for strength.
and like i said
i just love to excersize
just get a decent weight training and excercise routine going. If you're into boxing, do the boxing too :)Quote:

when i not excersizing.. (with the vest) im just walking around...
i go to the mall, or i need to go get someething from the store
and just to make an excersize out of it
i wear the vest.. that way its not a waste

How much do one of these vests run?
I Got Mine For Free Cuz My Dad is A Firefighter :)
Cool. A flame retardent weighted vest
I want one
lol no it isnt fire proof...lol
he just needs it to stay in shape for firefighting cuz he does wildland fires and you have to be able to walk 3 miles in 45 minutes with a 45 pound pack i dont know if it is hard becuz i have not done it but i will probably do it next year becuz i will be 18
I've actually been reading up on the weighted vest thing. It seems to be better than I initially thought; sorry about giving advice on something that I hadn't done proper research on.
With that, I think I'm going to run out and purchase a weighted vest to do some weighted burpees :)
I Think They Are Ausome And Great Help But What Are Burpees
