Looking to purchase a weighted vest from Amazon and was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations?

Thanks!

I have the same vest and while there might be a few better vests out there...…. this one is really inexpensive and really good.

I bought a RunMax on Amazon in the last couple of weeks. It's only 20 lbs but gave me new founded respect for LEO, first responders,and military folks that hump extra weight.

Not Amazon, but I have this and it works very well.

Pushups is on of the exercises I want to use a vest for. I would think most vests would work fine for any vertical exercises. For those who own the cross101, do you think it would work well for horizontal exercises like pushups?

i use mine on pushups, ring pushups, and ring rows no problem. there is always a little bit of annoyance just due to the size of the vest though.

Weighted pushups have been great for my chest and triceps.

I can't activate my lats on pulling movements with the vest on for some reason. No clue why pushing is so good and pulling goes so bad.

I bought a 20lb bcg one at academy and am using it on walks and pushups/squats. Love it. Amazing what 20 lbs can do. Will buy a new vest in a couple of Months that can accommodate more weight

Academy has their big clearance sale on now. I'm in Amarillo currently and picked up a 16# for 14 bucks. Don't like it as well as my current and bought it more for the extra weight.
Just a FYI to see if any bargains pop up at your stops.
