Weighted Vest

“I can't possibly start now. Now, start. Even if you're 60, even if you're 70, just start walking around with weighted vests or going for walks every day or doing some love. I feel like you guys should write a book.”

“I'll tell you why. I have lower back problems and Gary called me one time. We're talking. I'm like, yeah, I got to lose this love handle. So he goes, look, get a heavy weight vest. Walk. Don't run. Walk. Walk. Empty stomach in the mornings or, but that you put me on protein. I'm going to change it to 30 grams of protein. Save trip meal, but I'm going to do that tomorrow.”

“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.”

“But I say all the time, you know, we have a, we have a home in Colorado in the mountains, like 10,500 feet. I'll throw a weighted vest on, a little zip-up weighted vest, and go for a three and a half mile walk this loop that I go through the woods. I don't think anything makes me feel better than that.”

“Just enough, just to get the blood moving. Walking is fucking great. You know what's really great? Walking with a weighted vest. Not that hard to do. Put a 20-pound vest on, 25-pound vest on, walk around the block. It's fucking great for you. There's a lot of different things that you could do that don't crush you.”

“I'm wearing one now, this weighted vest. I have one that I use for working out. And I have this little three and a half mile loop through the woods, 10,500 feet. Come back. I drop that thing on the deck and I'm like, I feel like I found the messiah.”

“wants to fight at heavyweight. Cause it seems like he was carrying. I mean, just. Just you ever work out with a weight vest on. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. Like a 25 pound weight vest. It's nuts how much harder everything is. So you got to realize he had fought at 185 and he fought at 205.”

“in that particular comment, if somebody wanted to improve their bone density, yeah, for sure, you can strap on a weighted vest, do some plyometrics, add some weight to your jump. Like that's going to, you know, increase that strain magnitude and strain rate on the bone, which is going to drive that positive bone reformation. That's awesome. But yeah,”

“You would think 10 pounds is not that big of a deal. It's a big deal. Yeah. That's a big deal. When I work out, uh, and I put a 25 pound weight vest on. Yeah. It's amazing. how much harder it is to do chin-ups and push-ups and dips, it's amazing. Yeah. And it's only 25 pounds. Yeah. No, it's huge. And you think about how many people just normally carry 25 extra pounds.”

“Like I do that when I go to Disney world and walk, but like, that's right. That's right. What, what, like, let's say I wanted to get the weighted vest. Perfect What weight do you think I should start with? Yes. Start with some. You know, the idea is that like, let's, you know, don't go to level 12 immediately.”

“They can provide a safe, comfortable surface for mobility and stretching. For those looking to increase difficulty without adding excessive clutter, weighted vests can be a perfect choice. It's extremely easy to throw on a weighted vest, add it for your walk, and do bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and step-ups.”
