How are performing sit-ups, burpees, and running with vest? Looking for a vest for CF WODs and training for Murph!

Definitely no sit-ups... Weights in the back. Running yes. Burpees probably not safe on your back.

Sisy and I have been using this vest since April 11, Sisy had no problem with the vest (she has never tried to get out of it) It is well made and displays her Certification picture ID in Plain sight on her back. I also ordered The information cards, With this vest I have only had to give out 1 card so far which solved the problem with that uninformed person. I am happy with it. Enjoy your trip and good luck.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

Was a gift for my son to wear while he jogs. He lives in another state, so I have never actually seen the vest.Sorry

I apologize for taking this long to answer your question. My phone been disconnected so I was not able to check my email. I gave birth a long time ago,so I'm just trying to get the tummy somewhat back in shape. The truth is I have not really try it at work as yet. They are pretty tight which if good. I want yo use them when I workout. Hoping to see some results. Have you bought yours?

I tried it a while back, it didn't work for me. Lower ab fat stays on for me, and I don't mind all that much because I found Organic Goat Weed works for me. Resistance sit ups with 100lbs on my chest for 5 sets of 5 reps with 30-120 sec rest is working right now (I feel comfortable doing 8), and I will increase the weight when I can do 10 to 15.

Thanks, A. Gil..I was skeptical about buying this product at first, but your post has helped me to select the right unit, which will be the "basic" model. I do a lot of Crossfit style workouts, and this will definitely add to the intensity and variety.

Yes. It's awesome. I'm glad I bought it as my first weight vest. The next one I'm probably going to invest in is the one that's half sized

I bought this for my wife and just asked her, she said that she's worn it a few times for runs during crossfit workouts and that she actually likes it. Helps keep her core tight when she's had a tough workout and helps prevent sway back.

Hi there Stacy, and yes they are training chuks. Foam typically are, most of the harder materials are for advanced practitioners.

I would say it is for males and females. It will compress somewhat when you cinch the waist strap (velcro). I'm only guessing but it may be uncomfortable for a "larger" woman. If you are only going to walk then there will be no problem. I (male) usually run with this vest and find that I fits better when cinched tightly using the attached, wide Velcro belt . The 40 1-pound weights come with it. You should add them symmetrically to the pockets in the vest to evenly distribute the weight. There are pockets in the front and back. Total of 40 pockets. I have used this vest to add resistance to my running exercise and would highly recommend it. Very good quality. I would say it is for males and females.

I use mine for cross-fit style work outs at the fire station to support my knees that suffered moto-cross abuse in the past. I think they would work, but, they advise to not leave them on for long/extended periods. Lots of stair climbs, squats, lunges, sprints, and mobility. Does that help any?

not really sure what to tell you. I'm still quite early in the workout . I'm trying to get the first sequence of the first six moves learned so I can progress to the next sequence. It seems like a good workout and is not very strenuous , at least to start out. He stresses posture in the workout and I think that is good. I can't really say if it is helping my flexibility yet as I have a history of back problems and so far I do not notice any improvement in that respect.

I use it to train my clients. The workouts are great and the results are real. Just don't be over 6' 2. I'm thinking of getting the vest version to see how hat is. The belt will slip down over your butt if you are tall.

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

I really like both programs. I did P90X3 first. Finishing up final week of Rushfit now....doing the intermediate schedule. Going to do a recovery week next and then run through X3 again and then likely another round of Rushfit. I think you work a little harder in Rushfit. Rushfit also has cardio days where you can do a cardio exercise you like (ie, running, biking, swimming) or do a cardio workout from another program. I know I sweat more on a daily basis with Rushfit. Probably got stronger with X3 with the pull-ups and heavier weights in some workouts, plus eccentric work in Blocks 2 and 3. I really liked how X3 cycles through resistance, cardio and recovery workouts...switching things up every month. I can't say anything bad about either workout program. Really like both of them.

Yes, I have and they are fine, they don't "hold on to" much more mud than bare skin does.Also. all these comments about DON"T WEAR PANTS are plain old bullcrap There is NO reason not to wear a FULL combat uniform in these races if that's your thing. I and many others have done it. If you want to COMPETE then sure, wear lightweight gear. But for a fun run you can wear a 50'lb ruck and BDU if you want.
