Start under 10% of your body weight . I'm a bodybuilder and 6'5" at 260 lbs so I bought the heaviest ones they sell 28 lbs each and I only jogged 2 miles in it today and my shoulders hurt so bad it's insane . Start light or you will regret it . I'm strong as fuck and that was too much it's not just strength all that weight is on your shoulders pulling . It was also difficult too breath with that heavy plate on my chest
@@MilitaryFitness so too update I got the new 14.5 lb plates from Amazon today put them in my carrier wow this is heavy enough too train but way more manageable and not causing pain from the load on my shoulders . I figured because I'm a giant ball of muscle on steroids I need the heaviest ones boy was I wronh
awesome video. thank you dor taking the time to show us the difference between a workout with vest and bo vest. both Sams dis really good. very technical and precise. well done.#HardTrainingEasyGaining keep the good content coming.
@@MilitaryFitness how would you say to gain mass from it all reps till failure ?I use to lift weights but I rather be at the park with the weighted calisthenics
One question. When you do the weighted workout, do the calories burned reflect the work you do at the weight your device thinks are? Should while using the weighted vest you change your current weight on your device to reflect the weight that the vest adds?
But how many calories would you have burned unweighted if you worked out for 22:43? All this basically proves is that you if you work out for less time, you burn less calories.
Actually, if you go by time/calories, you can calculate: unweighted is 10.1 calories/min; weighted is 10.7 cal/min. All other things being equal, if you had worked out unweighted for 22:43, you would have burned 229 calories.
What about comparing the no vest time at 19.41 and continuing with the no vest for the vest time of 22.45, I bet there is no noticeable difference, you only burned more calories due to the time not the rep
I have a question I’m curious about as an American samual? Were the British wearing weight vests at the battle of sautauket when they were led my major hewlett agaisnt the American rebel scum?
There was no need to add the weight to the health app as I wanted to find out how much more my body was working with and without the vest under the same circumstances.
It will add more pressure to those joints certainly. But it would be no different if you weighed 10-20kg more than you do now as it’s just extra weight.
Depending on a couple factors. I have osteoarthritis in both knees. I did body weight squats then I started using a vest. My strength in my legs grew exponentially and the knee pain slowly started to fade. I'm not telling you it was easy or painless but strengthening my quads hamstrings and calves has helped tremendously.
Hi Sam, what are the best exercises to do wail you wait for phase 1 training? I start basic training in 2 months and I don't no where to start with training? I want to push my self now so I'm ready 💪
Yeah, but I have been doing burpees non stop for about a year now since I got an injury in the gym. I am fitter now than when I was in my twenties I think 😂😂
Hey mate, i recently lost a lot of weight, but with it I lost some of the strength and endurance I had. I did not work out wile on diet. Or at least not to much. I bought a 30 kg weighted vest to try to get some of the strength I had back. But I’m not sure how I should build endurance in the most effective way, do you have any advice or do you have any video about this topic. Should I use the vest with my cardio session or should I drop the vest and focus on running with my bodyweight if I’m on the weight I want to be?
I like the fact that I can do sprints and get more done in less time. All of a sudden 10 minutes worth of sprinting seems a lot more worthwhile
Yeah, it really can be💪🏻💪🏻
When the video star in front of a whiteboard I know that I will see some scientific approach instead of personal opinions about a product.
Big thanks!
Thanks for the kind words. I hope it helps you decides whether you want a vest or not.
It's amazing what a difference wearing a vest makes. When I did my experiment of wearing one with 20kg for 1 hour, it was a killer.
It made a massive difference, couldn’t wait to take it off at the end 😂😂
@@MilitaryFitness so it’s good to wear while weight lifting such as barbell curls?
@@ryanhorner3605 oh yeah, no probs
@@MilitaryFitness cool thanks great vid btw :)
@@ryanhorner3605 thanks buddy
The simplicity of this video shows your hard work ❤❤ thank you
Thanks so much for your kind words 👍🏻👍🏻
I love how you played all the characters! Had me dying! 😂
😂😂 thanks buddy
I like this type of video, very simple, to the point and I like the board. It's pretty much like being taught a class in the army 😆
😂😂
Only downside is the weight can lead to more wear and tear on joints etc especially if form is poor.
That’s true

You’re bang on there mate. You have to give your body time to build up to load bearing, start light and don’t rush to increase the weight

@@jonsingleton203 it’s all about load bearing and working your way I suppose
i just got my 20lbs i hope this gets me in great shape!! let's gooo
Get to it 💪🏻🫡
Thank you very much you make my decision easier I will get one aasap

Thanks buddy, all the Sam’s were great 😂😂
I use this vest and bands at the park bars and I see mass gain results
It certainly really adds to a workout 💪🏻💪🏻
@@MilitaryFitness how would you say to gain mass from it all reps till failure ?I use to lift weights but I rather be at the park with the weighted calisthenics
@@feralgoat3771 it’s probably not best to go all reps to failure. I would set high reps 12-14 and 4 sets per exercise
One question. When you do the weighted workout, do the calories burned reflect the work you do at the weight your device thinks are? Should while using the weighted vest you change your current weight on your device to reflect the weight that the vest adds?
Yeah you can do
Great video. Thank you.
Many thanks for the kind words. 🫡
I walk 10 miles a day. I look good(from compliments). I'm about to order one. thanks!
Good luck with it buddy
When you say 2 squats do you mean between each burpee or at the end of the set of 100 ?
After each burpee

Maybe
I just shove a bunch of laptops into a bag
Hahahaha
I ordered the 40kg vest oops 😬 thanks for the vid.
Omg 😂😂😂. At least you can take one of the plates out or get lighter ones. You will be a beast if you stick with the 40kg though 💪🏻💪🏻
@@MilitaryFitness So can you add plates??😳
@@erfman2633 I can’t be certain but I think so
I have a question I’m curious about as an American samual? Were the British wearing weight vests at the battle of sautauket when they were led my major hewlett agaisnt the American rebel scum?

Hi mate would you recommend running with the vest with the 10k or would this be very challenging
It would be pretty nails but certainly achievable
Can I wearing while I work.I delivery I have to walk most time.
Yeah you could do
Did added your weight plus weight of the vest to the health app because the watch is calculating your workout without the vest weight
There was no need to add the weight to the health app as I wanted to find out how much more my body was working with and without the vest under the same circumstances.
Hey, do you think that use it can degenerate joints like knees or ankles?
It will add more pressure to those joints certainly. But it would be no different if you weighed 10-20kg more than you do now as it’s just extra weight.

Get some tabbing in, sprint sessions, hiit and some kettlebells to build core strength. Do one of each a week.
@@MilitaryFitness okay great, thank you
@@davidpae9063 no probs mate
So... that was 200 push ups, 200 squats and 100 burpees in around 20 minutes??? Ufff I have a long way to go 🤣😅😰.
Yeah, but I have been doing burpees non stop for about a year now since I got an injury in the gym. I am fitter now than when I was in my twenties I think 😂😂
Do weigjt vest compress the spine?
As long as you only wear it for training and not for prolonged periods of time you should be ok
But will i BUILD muscle with this approach?
Most definitely buddy.
Alright, time to push it to the limit.
All the way buddy
What about walking with one on? Good idea for cardio? Safe?
Yeah, good idea. I have another video on my channel that compares walking and running in a weighted vest
@@MilitaryFitness ah brilliant gonna have a look now!
@@Jamesy-kp4tu it’s one of my recent ones

Thx !
No probs buddy
Hey I know it’s been a little while since this vid came out but I was wondering if it would put too much strain on your back during lifting?
I doubt it as the weight s evenly spread, but it would certainly restrict your movement
New over here, just bought such a vest, wpndering how you calculate the calores burned, is there a formular for that??
Hi, I just use my Apple Watch, but you could use a fit bit or a garmin watch
@@MilitaryFitness thanx a lot for the anwser, keep It Up!
@@aseuvella6102 thanks for the kind words 👍🏻
They made me faster and I could do 14 push ups without it and 26 with it
They are worth while for sure💪🏻💪🏻. Thanks for the comment.
Which brand
Force fitness
@@MilitaryFitness cheers
Great video!!!!!
Cheers buddy
My question is that.. will wearing weight vests eventually give you back problems?
Everyday, yes. Once a week with proper warm ups etc, no
@@MilitaryFitness so only recommended to use once a week ?
@@manuelalcauter2991 I use it once or twice per week
Enjoyed your pain 👍
Do more work
Burn more fuel
You got it buddy 💪🏻💪🏻
I ordered 30kg Camouflage Chinese army color :))).
Hard core buddy 💪🏻💪🏻

A 30 kg weight vest is pretty heavy. I would look hiit workouts and use the vest once a week.
@@MilitaryFitness thanks a lot for the tips mate
Throw some books in a backpack, yes you’ll get back problems but it’ll work haha
no one minds if you look like a hunch back if you are super fit lol
You mean more weight = more work? Damn! Thanks!
You’re welcome 😂😂
I don't have a weight vest but...maybe I can use my bfs bulletproof vest, it's quite heavy.
Yeah, perfect
Average calories burned per minute:
no vest: 10.252kcal
with vest: 10.923kcal
imma get a weighted vest soon. thanks for the video boss👍
No probs, hope it all works out
So…
The answer is…… they are good😂😂
