They’re an adaptable tool that has the potential benefits of amplifing bodyweight training, supercharging your endurance, and cranking up your metabolic effect. Yet, most people aren’t sure how or when to use one to its full potential, leading to underuse or complete neglect. With the rise of HYROX (GoRuck division), CrossFit, and tactical-style training, weighted vests have become more mainstream than ever. But that doesn’t mean they belong in every workout. I’ve used them myself and with my athletes, and while they can be a…
