Heavy vest training?

[dragontounge2]

Any body tried those like 20 pound weighted vests? I was thinking if you wear one for like a week train with it you would become alot more light on your feet and develope more power AnyBody tried it?

At my school, we have a month of conditioning with a 40 lbs vest once a year & then spordaically throughout the year, we use it for taiji & bagua conditioning & training as well.

Well, what are your results??:confused:

[sean_stonehart]

My results are normally I'm sore as hell but I am "lighter" on my feet for a while after the conditioning. The my body adjusts to the the changes made & I keep going. The Bagua & Taiji weight vest training focuses my balance better & improves my overall training there.

For how long did feel the "lightness"?

[sean_stonehart]

Couple of days then my body adjusted. That's why the conditioning lasts a month period. At the end of a month, there's some noticable changes.

Never used it in that type of a context, but have used a weighted vest when doing pull ups, hindu squats and pistols.
