Hi together,

recently (over the last 6 months) I lost about 13 kgs, my "fat loss" feels like it has been stalling a bit and I've been in a caloric deficit for quite a while. Albeit a comfortable deficit but according to my calculations still around 500 kcal.

I purchased this 10kg weighted vest and have been wearing it during normal daily activities (walking, working at a standing desk etc.). Only for a few hours so far. It's comfortable enough to wear it prolonged times, and I'm looking forward to my first hike and some light runs with it.

What are your experiences with weighted vests? How do you use them? How do you incorporate them into everyday live without it being weird?

An entire generation of people was convinced this would make them shredded cause of Dragonball lol

Trust me, I used to do a lot of calisthenics. You can build endurance that way, but it's difficult to cultivate strength and size when you are theoretically limited to whatever your bodyweight is. Eventually you just feel like you have to do a thousand push ups to get a good chest workout when you could just go hit the bench or cable fly machine and get similar results in a fraction of the time.

Samurai Jack contributed to that, too. I'm really glad I didn't try that method.
