Maybe okay, but I can't figure out what you thinking you're gaining from this, that couldn't be gained 10x more effectively through a proper workout. Can you say what your goals are --
why are you looking at weighted training, what are you trying to accomplish? If you're trying to gain strength for combative sports/arts, there are way better ways. If you're trying to gain muscular endurance for combative sports/arts, there are way better ways. And is there a reason you ignored the advice to use hills instead of weights for running activities? I think perhaps you've zero'ed in on a bad answer, and are trying to find a way to make it not-so-bad instead of re-evaluating.

What about weighted vests?

Horrible for running, again putting a lot of weight on your spine and joints. Fantastic when incorporated into a solid program that meets your goals (which we still need to uncover!). I love my vest and highly recommend one.

Anything that can add weighted resistance to training is what i am interested at this point in time. Those elasticy thingos arent very appealing to me. Dunno why, maybe i just dont like the look of them. But yeah, I want to know about any weighted crap that i can actually wear on a regular basis, even when not training.

Heh, probably not surprised to know I'm still confused. Why do you want to walk around with weights when not training? What do you think that will buy you that a proper S&C program won't buy you much more effectively?
