Weight vest

[louder6]

Do you guys ever train in one of these? Would it be a good idea to wear a weighted vest during like pull ups and sprints right? Or would wearing it during a lifting session have any benefit?

weighed dips and pullups are done all the time using weights strapped to belts

they are great but don't over train.. it is an easy way to blowout your shoulders

Or use a chinning / dipping belt

I personally use a weight belt for weighted pull ups/dips but a weight vest is the same idea.

I think they're great. Weighted bodyweight movements will build much more functional strength then machine movements doing the same movement pattern.

A weighted pull up is WAY harder then a lat pull down
