Anyone have experience with these things? At first glance, I would think they could cause signifigant joint stress if you tried to run or bounce around with these things on. But I was thinking of picking one up to jog lightly in, as a way for preparing to run in the military with large packs on my back and so forth. Maybe do some plyos with them. What do you think?
i use one. only 20 pounds on it. i do jog with it and haven't noticed anything in well over a year. i also do sit ups and skip with it. that being said i have heard lots of people say they are bad.
I use one when running and jumping rope. All it adds is more resistance, so your muscles work a bit harder. It 'aint magic!
I remember this dude in highschool used to wear one all day to supposedly help him with wrestling. I think they are supposed to be alot better than those wrist or ankle weights which are bad for your joints.
