What's your opinion on weighted vests? I don't even know if there's one to be had, but thought I might ask.

I've wanted to try one for awhile heard mixed reports and that headaches are common at the start

Have a 30kg one, use it mostly for push ups, love it

>bad for your joints
>bad for your back
>look like a shooter

yeah ill pass

Same here, use it for pretty much everything but at 27kg it's slowly starting to fall apart.

Never had headache from it but sometimes there is small shoulder pain, nothing serious though.

But who says that? It seems to be accepted as a good tool

I used to wear a 10 lbs vest when I ran. I wound up with stress fractures in both feet

Just like squats and deadlift amirite

Got a 30kg weight vest along with pull up bar and rings. Weighted pull ups, push ups, rows, dips and pistols gave me great gains.

What do you users think about wearing it all day? Seems like a bad idea to me but if it could work it would be awesome, I could just wear it and work out while living my day
