Training with a weight vest....

Training with a weight vest....

Does anyone use one or has used one in the past? I purchased one a few months ago.. I mainly got it to build up my endurance. I had 7 weeks of training with the Marines coming up and I knew I'd be going on several forced marches with at least 50 pounds of gear on my back. Anyway, it helped me through those weeks and now I use it regularly in my workouts. I max it out with 30 pounds and do about an hour of cardio with it on. Even on my non-cardio days I still use it. Any thoughts?

I always thought that would be an interesting varation to do with cardio, just couldn't warrant the price of the stuff though.

D-GUy I always thought that would be an interesting varation to do with cardio, just couldn't warrant the price of the stuff though. Yeah it was a bit pricey but the end justified the means in my case. I did try out a different brand before purchasing the one in the picture. I dropped 20 pounds in it and did my usual cardio routine. My whole body was burning after an hour and I felt like I had the best workout in a long time. My trainer tells me I'm crazy for wearing it but she did state that she is seeing results from my workout alot faster than some of her other clients that work out alot more. Which really doesn't mean anything but I know it works for me.

kind of expensive for a regular joe blow like me. I'm pretty sure it helps a lot but you can probably find a cheaper way to do it.

AmCo kind of expensive for a regular joe blow like me. I'm pretty sure it helps a lot but you can probably find a cheaper way to do it. Any ideas? A few of my friends are interested but, as some have mentioned, don't want to shell out a few hundred for the vest and weights. The only way I afforded it was with the 8 months worth of tax free money I got being overseas.

get a hunting vest and fill it with empty clips...or lead weights

Yeah, i'd love to have a vest... it would be so cool.

old shirts

do guys make fun of you brolys because when you were your old shirts, your mass/muscle pops out and making it look like you're showing it off? discuss

probaby....behind my back

i think its kinda dumbwhen guys wear super tight shirts, snug shirts are okay, but child smalls are fucking retarded, its like they are trying to look big by wearing a tight shirt because they arent big.

a couple of days ago a couple friends and i went to get lunch. a friend of mine said, "jose you're getting bigger"(im really small to OT's standard). then another friend of mine immediately responded,"HAHA its just the small shirt that he wears". that kind a pist me off..i was 112 got up to 142 then went down to 134 i dont know how...but i wear small shirts because they used to be a loose when i was 112

I hate chiropractors. After 5 - 6 treatments of A.R.T -- I feel ripped off. He didn't even understand what I was saying, and he just treated me the way he thought was correct. I don't want to lose hope in A.R.T because my shoulder is just killing me. Anyone else have a bad experience with A.R.T? For now, i'm blaming the lack of skillz of my chiropractor... /vent

For now, i'm blaming the lack of skillz of my chiropractor... /vent I have nothing but good things to say about my A.R.T treatments. I have been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis for just over 3 years now, and have tried everything aside from surgery (Physio, Night Splints, Orthotics, etc) and the only thing I feel that has truley benefited me has been constant stretching and ART. It also helps to have the leading practioner in the Country work on you. If you found the doctor(?) that was working on you to not listen or benefitting you at all that should of been the first sign to swtich to another clinic. Dont give up on it yet, if at all possible swtich to another clinic, and before the doctor (?) even starts tell him what exactly it is you want, what hurts, and what the other guy obviously didnt help you with. My doctor wrote a book thats extremely helpful for after-treatment care. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846

My chiropractor made me hurt worse and gave me headaches everytime I worked out for months.

Chiropractic Therapy =! A.R.T

My ART woman is pretty good. Definitely helped with my tendonitis.

I'll fix you in 3 and a half years

what exactly do art doctors do?

A Myotherapist treats the "hot spots" or muscles that pull you out of alignment. Combination therapy between the two is excellent.

christophers find a new art guy. find a new chiro too. chiros, art specialists, etc. are like EVERY medical type profession.. you'll find ones good and ones bad a good chiro is great, and a good art guy is great too. my gym has our own chiro and art guy and he rocks. Free of charge?

christophers for little tweaks and stuff yes, for full sessions its discounted a lot Isn't Diablo like $150/month or something crazy anyway? There should be some perks in there.

Woah, okay, well i'll find a new one... but why are they all chiropractors?

Fitday...Calories Burned question.

Fitday...Calories Burned question.

Fitday is telling me that yesterday I burned 3297 calories broken down as follows: Basal: 1769 Lifestyle: 1086 Activities: 442 I have "seated work, some movement" as my 9-5 job routine. Does 3297 burned sound a bit excessive? Considering I worked out for an hour and walked 20 mins to and from work, and that only burned 442??

that does sound a bit excessive

lifestyle sounds really high, odd.

ryazbeck lifestyle sounds really high, odd. yeah...not sure what's gone wrong. I sit at a desk all day and look at computer screens.

fitday is all messed up. It says that you burn 0 calories no matter how long you sleep, when in fact it's something like 50 calories an hour... their food calories are pretty accurate though

I don't understand how the fatties lose weight with fitday. It has always seemed to me that they waaaay overestimate your basal and lifestyle calories.

Fitday...Calories Burned question.

OMG like... do i need to lose weight!??!!!!

OMG like... do i need to lose weight!??!!!!

It seems like every single person I know is saying how I'm getting fat and that I need to lose weight. My dad just saw the new shipment of whey and said to me "if you want to lose weight, just stop taking those things and you'll get your old shape back in no time!" He said it with this disgusted shameful look on his face too So i ask OT... which pic looks better. The three pics are each many, many months apart and randomly placed.

yeah... lose weight

and then go to the gym and work out

Why are asians so fucking crazy...you do not need to lose weight. You need to gain muscle, stat.

Code:#1 19 44.19% #2 17 39.53% #3 3 6.98% 4. they equally 4 9.30% suck--it's a tie! So i did this same poll on BB.com and that was the result. The only person who isn't telling me to cut is christopher btw, i'm 135 in #2

superbri007 i say 3 for now, cause it looks like you could afford to keep bulking up and gaining some muscles Yea that's my current plan... bulk up til 180-200 and decide from there. But with literally everyone in real life telling me to go the other way, i'm getting confused as fuck. A close girl who's used to seeing me as skinny #2 saw me naked recently and told me I had really let myself go and that i should go on the treadmill with her. And here I am being so excited i finally hit #3.

For some reason my girl likes the extra pudge I've put on from bulking. In any case, if you're even considering "cutting", slap yourself.. No...slap yourself twice.

You need to bulk to 250 then cut.

please please please do not lose weight



christophers I made that one too many moons ago

i think you need to eat and lift weights. maybe buy a drum of synthol, or maybe 2? i

at pics

keep eating, the people around you are just used to everyone being small, they way they think is warped. everything you are doing is fine, just keep bulking

jonno at pics .

If you hang out with mainly asians kids, most likely you will look bigger than them without trying too hard. I know that feeling oh too well, but no keep eating and working out. Come back and ask the same question in 6-12 months.

dude how tall are you?

and the weight of each picture u posted!

i remember when my bulking went out of control. Im asian as well when i exploded from 160->210 man so many ppl started calling me crazy. keep up with it and cut.

AmCo i remember when my bulking went out of control. Im asian as well when i exploded from 160->210 man so many ppl started calling me crazy. keep up with it and cut. good fucking bulk. ketchup, if people are going to start calling you fat already, you might as well deserve it. start eating seriously and start lifting seriously. keep going till they call you obese.

1. 160 2. 135 3. 165 edit: @6ft

height?

keep bulking still too skinny. people who say you need to cut dont know what they are talking about or what you're trying to achieve, only YOUDO

all 3 pictures look the same to me

i wouldn't cut...hit the weights harder and keep bulking

OMG like... do i need to lose weight!??!!!!
