Weight Vest

I am about to get a VForce weight vest from weightvest dot com. Dont plenty of research. I train intensely lifting 6 days a week and doing something else, be it just running or ab work or whatever, but I cant shed these last lbs. I eat a ton but am not fat. May make minor diet changes but I thinking running and doing other body weight excercises with an extra forty five lbs will shred me up. Any experience or input?

Ordered it today. Will provide a review.

I know a couple of people who swear by them. Increases strength and stamina a great deal from what I hear.

How much did you pay and what weight did you get?

I went with weightvest dot com. They are more expensive but I did a fair amount of research and their product is better. I also like how they have a million different vests to choose from depending on your workout or how you want the weight distributed to the width of the shoulders.

Anyway, I went with the 45 lb vest. At first I didn't think it would be enough but then I thought about trying to run with a 45 lb plate strapped to my back and it will be plenty. I will probably start the first week or two of workouts with only 20 lbs of the weight in the vest. Will start running with it as well.

I got the idea from someone I know who said it did wonders for them as far as their training and their conditioning. Can't hurt to try.

degenerate, how much do you weigh? 45 lb's is about 22kg's?

i'm interested in purchasing one for running also. i weigh 60kg's - what weight would u guys recommend.

Training 6 days a week? You're over training. Body won't respond to anything on that plan. though.

I have a great breakdown search. Dont you worry about my lifting results. Everyone's a personal trainer these days and quick to say what the other guy does wont work.

Didn't mean to sound like a person..sorry. I guess everybody has a different training threshhold. I go dead flat on a 6 per week program but that's me. Mental and physical burnout.

What kind of routine do you have?

Search - everyone who enjoys working out/training forms their opinions over time and I always see people stating theirs like they have if all figured out, that's all.

I lift each muscle group 3 times in a 2 week period. So I may lift a certain group on Monday, then Friday, then the following Wednesday. I just mean I don't like taking days off. I don't overtrain, but I don't like sitting around. I will find something to do.

I'll start with the weightvest this week and provide some reviews. Will start running with 20 lbs.
