friend sent me a pic of him wearing the smart vest - he ordered recently with 20lbs, he says even 8lbs is a lot.
he said its a quality product very snug and tight. weights can be evenly put around the torso.

"I got my SmartVest today. It's a good product. The fit is nice and tight once you learn how to set it correctly and the weights hardly bounce when you run or jump. I tried it during a quick workout with just 8lbs today. The only negative I can think of is that you cannot "hide" it under a shirt. The padding on both sides of the neck are quite obvious... I took some pics, you'll be able to tell, looks like I got hyyyuge traps!! lol Anyways I must say it's very comfortable, no pain or strain at all during the workout. It's almost unoticeable under a sweatshirt though but that don't really help... "

hmm, weighted vests would be awesome for increasing vert and running speed, i might pick one up when i start cutting later this year.
 
That looks pretty sweet. I have a weighted vest but its not very snug so you really can't do much with it other than like pull ups. Its a bit expensive, but If i had some money to throw around I would love to try that out.

how much weight can you put in that vest?

do you know anything about the ones advertised on elitefts.com?

well at least 20lbs, not sure what the limit is.

no
 
limit is 100lbs.

they have two different vest. the standard one which goes from 10lbs to 50 lbs. it looks a lot like that one. 10 2.5 plates in front, 10 in the back. they also have a 75lb vest that is longer and goes down to the waist. on top of that you can order a 25lb attachment that fits on the top to make the 50lb vest 75 lbs and the longer 75lb vest 100lbs.

same problems no way to conceal it. but it doesnt bounce around.

one thing though that (at least to me) that i didnt expect was my traps. this vest hurts them more than anything. i use it for cardio - walking for 30 minutes - and my traps are screaming. and i only used 30lb too.

but i think they are great.

Holy crap - that must feel heavy with 75lbs +

well with all the weiught haging off those 2 straps - off coruse the traps are gonna work hard :)

good way to load up dips, explosive pushups and chins
