I’ve seen people wearing them, and it’s normal, no biggie. Personally I’d probably wear something over it, but to each their own.

You think it would look better to wear something over a 75lb vest?

They probably read "The Art of frick" instead. Your wife watches them and fantasizes.

Sounds like someone had a nerve hit. Tomorrow on your way out with your weighted vest, I bet you'll check out how kool you look in the mirror.

Especially with your backwards hats, goatees, and Oakleys…

If they want the full experience I'll walk around the neighborhood and tell them to wear a reflective belt and tuck their t shirt in.

They also didn't watch The Devil's Advocate.


That movie left a hell of a mark on me. Also greatly appreciated The Advocate's Devil novel,

While I don’t use one myself they are widely recognized as a great way to add strength training to routine low output cardio. Particularly great for people who can’t do high impact strength training.

You sound pretty bitter and in a pisdy mood. You know what’s a good mood uplifted? Exercise. Should try it. Maybe get vest.

I go all out when I walk around my neighborhood. I wear a weighted vest that some folks say looks like the ones the NVA used to carry extra AK magazines in Nam. To make sure I sweat, I wear a bulky robe similar to the style you see in the Middle East. I also carry a weighted stick that’s about 5 feet long. It looked boring so I put a thing on one end that sort of looks like an RPG round.

It beats sitting around on the couch.

I use a weight vest but I walk on trails with steep hills. I’m anti backwards hat though…

Also anti mustache , which I have noticed has been making a comeback.

The vest lets you burn more calories waking. Also I wear it to train for my annual Colorado hike

My beef is the people who want to randomly talk to you on a walk/hike when you’re clearly trying to just enjoy the peace and quiet. And to make it worse, want to have political conversation of all things. I just want to not people.




I’ve had a few people stop to talk to me recently while I have my hunting backpack on and walking. Ask me if I’m rucking, which I had no idea what the hell that was until last week.
No, I’m preparing for packing out an elk. Now leave me alone while I walk and enjoy the silence.

What does the meta of this board want? Take a shot to be skinny gets a negative wrap. People minding their own business working out are “douchbags.”

I mean seriously? You see a random lightly jogging on the sidewalk and it triggers you? How pathetic is that.

You sound like one of those “center of the universe” types that play videos with sound or talk on speakerphone in public. frick those people.

IRL every person I encounter who complains about people exercising looking silly/gay or call them douchebags are horribly out of shape. It is just another in a laundry list of excuses they have made up that allows them to sit in the couch, drink, snack and still feel superior.
