Weighted vest question???

Question

I just ordered a 100lb weighted vest online. I recently used a 40lb vest at my gym during my training, and I liked it so I bought one for me to train with on my own. My question is, if I wear this vest when Im doing drills and sprints, will I feel alot lighter when I take it off, and How long will it take for me to notice myself getting faster from wearing it???

Answer 1

yes you will feel a lot lighter..and it wont take you too long to start getting faster..maybe 10 days at least...running around with 100 pounds on you everyday has to be a workout to your legs..you know what you can also do with the weight vest is try to do pushups with it..good chest workout

Answer 2

Be careful.  It's putting a LOT of wear and tear on your joint connective tissue.  When you are over 60, you'll wish you had that remaining.  Even without that extra weight, most people who run long term end up giving it up when their cartilage start to wear down.  Not all, but most.
