The weighting vest is used by manyathletes to increase strength and endurance during the training process. This is achieved by gradually increasing the working weight during running, training on the horizontal bar or parallel bars. Many athletes also use other types of additional equipment, which include weighting for running, fixed on the legs and arms. As a rule, they are lightweight, but are used quite widely both in the training of fighters and during sprint runs.
Why do we need a vest-weighting?
They are used because our body,gradually getting used to the loads that our natural mass indexes are able to provide ceases to progress and build muscle mass, as well as to increase the characteristics of strength and endurance. Sports vests are much more convenient to use than regular training shells because of their narrow specialization. Usually weights for arms and legs increase the additional mass due to filling with sand from one to five kilograms.
Weighting vest and other auxiliary elementsnaturally increase your body weight, while psychologically you almost do not feel it and are accustomed to a certain mileage in running or to your usual strength indicators. But as a result, after a two-week workout with such devices and after giving up their use, you will not only look physically stronger, but also notice a sharp leap forward. If you could run, using a vest-weighting agent, five kilometers - and this was your record, then without it you will master the same five kilometers, even without breathing and sweating.
Such weighting compounds are simply irreplaceable for thoseathletes who are engaged in athletics, gymnastics or workout, because they allow them to dramatically increase their results due to the emotional lift that occurs at the time of awareness of the limit of their physical capabilities, and especially when this limit grows exponentially.
Make or buy?
In principle, the manufacture of such a vest will not takeyou have so much time and do not hit the wallet, which is important. You can take any suitable outerwear, sew strong pieces of cloth into it in the form of pockets with zippers, velcro or buttons, and make additional weight elements from ordinary reinforcement, cutting them into small (5-7 cm) sticks, 100-200 grams each . The only disadvantage of such an improvised vest is that the absence of a tight body fixation is extremely inconvenient, especially when used while running or performing acrobatic elements. But at the same time, it is possible to supplement the weighting vest with its own clamps, incorporating a little imagination. The cost of such a vest on sites will vary from a thousand to three thousand rubles. You can buy it on Chinese websites a half to two times cheaper, but the delivery time from China takes at least a month.
