While working out..

You guys (BigRay, TRSS, etc) should wear weight vests.

I'm a lineman, I've never wore one before yesterday, and Jesus fuck I was sweating 3x more than I was without one, everything is THAT much harder. Especially power cleans.


If you wear em what do you think about em? The one I had was 40 pounds

Wait, so are you weight lifting? or doing football drills, or running?

Right now, were just weight lifting. The drills come later in January, we mix it into weight lifting. (2 hours in weight room, 2 hours on field) I haven't tried it running though, I'm a big-ish guy (238 pounds) so it'll be hard to run with one on

@bigray, well I was wearing it for about 90 minutes yesterday and I had no back problems. Will try again today. Before you buy them though, start wearing different ones.

Yeah first it's the weight lifting, drills, then actual practice(like plays) We had the option to wear weight vests but there weren't enough for everyone, I've used ankle weights tho. They worked beautifully, can feel it in my legs(calves particularly)

Yea we have maybe 15 max. Right now there's only 10-20 people showing up for weightlifting cause it's optional. But once everyone else comes then they'll get taken up . I wanna try ankle weights, I feel like it'll throw off my running like crazy though
