313. The Passive Biohack for People Who Sit All Day - Brent Yates

“I knew about the sleeves, and I'd used them on the planes for the blood flow. And so, the first thing I did, though, is I ordered every weight vest on the market. Once I decided it was weight could get me there faster, get my body back faster. I needed a tool, I wasn't sure it was that tool.”

“You know, I've been rocking for a while. Um, and before I rucked with a properly fitted weight vest, it did used to really always bother my low back, and it always bothered my shoulders because the weight kind of just hangs on you. Um, I had the kind that had the plates in the front, and they would kind of slap against you.”

“So you're engaging your inner core, you're engaging your obliques, your back, your chest. It's all working with you versus maybe a typical weighted vest, right? Which is just your shoulders. Yeah. Just weight hanging down on you. So, but there's science around compression.”

“Is it really part of our daily lives? We also don't think of it very much as a female sport. Like when I talk to my wife about wearing a weighted vest, she's not for it at all initially. Yeah. Like, like I would say, less than half of 1% of women have ever, ever worn weight. It's probably a much smaller number than that.”

“It takes a moment to do it. We've only been out until you came, we might as well only been out a year. And so 28,000 vests later, now people are starting to have testimonials a year later. Complete trust. The big thing is the weight loss, right?”

“And he'd been doing weighted vests for a long, long time. And so most weighted vests give you weight because of the compression, heat, and the load. We give you a transformational body. So he looked at, I would love to look at that data because I come from a data science background.”

“I see that too. Like, I got to, I got to represent. I got to show up. Right. And that's what you ask about the human performance. Yeah. But your vest, Gary, has been five or six pounds, the boardroom vest, the casual vest, the passive weighted vest. And now we've increased that weight. So obviously you've proven and I've watched your body.”

“Same way it's all fractionally loaded. We do make a crop vest, so it's a little more shoulder back loaded. The weight's up there. But on the full vest, it's just like the man's compression vest. It's fractionally loaded. After putting so many of these out on the street, like what has surprised you with the testimonials that are coming back from men and women that are wearing weight?”

“right to boot camp. So what is it? What is an on-ramp to a 50-pound rucksack look like? I think it looks like 15 pounds for three or four weeks. It depends on the person. Number one, what they're also seeing over the last few years is these high schoolers coming in.”

“I, you know, had a workout with my kids this morning, you know, came home and ate the same breakfast with, you know, with like fermented vegetables and everything. And, and I think, I think being authentic in your journey, transparent and intentional is, is what makes you an ultimate human, right?”

“At the same time, I went, all right, how am I going to fix my body? Yeah. Tell me about the Wall Street Journal best-selling book, The Gravity of Up. Was this injury, this recovery journey you were on?”
