Why wear a weighted vest
The weighted vest helps boost your bodyweight workouts.
To increase the difficulty of a cross training WOD, enhance your strength or weight training, do exercises without carrying weights, or work on specific areas alongside another sport, this weighted vest is just what you need.
If you're looking for a heavier weight, we recommend our adjustable 10 kg weighted vest (6 kg to 10 kg)
How to use your weighted vest
How to use a weighted vest for strength training:
You can use your 5 kg or 10 kg weighted vest for classic functional bodyweight exercises: dips to work the triceps, shoulders and pectoral muscles; pull-ups for the biceps and back; muscle-ups for the whole chest; squats on one or two legs to work the thighs, and more.
How to adjust your weighted vest
For the best fit, you should adjust your weighted vest in three places:
- Chest: Choose one of the three strap adjustment heights. It should hit slightly above your chest for proper breathing. Once you choose the height, you can tighten the following to suit your needs by pulling on the strap.
- Shoulder strap: To keep the weighted vest in place as you exercise, you need to adjust the shoulder strap.
