All right guys, made my decision and decided to pick up an x vest. I put it off since it came out, because of its price, but this lacrosse season went really well for me, i made all-american(i’m gonna post pics, and a summary of my training and how much t-mag contributed to my success this year in a few days), anyways back to topic, since i made it, my parents said they would spring for the x vest as they realized all my training has truly payed off for me(and them, my scholarship was raised significantly since i made it) and all the ‘weird’ exercises i do really work…so anyways yea they are gonna buy one for me, i’m gonna use it mostly during agilities, speed work, plyos, etc…for htis reason i’m thinking about getting the 20 lb vest, as this is about 10% of my weight. But then iw as thinking about pull ups/dips/wearing it during workouts for added gpp and was thinking the 40lb vest is a better idea, just wanted some ideas about what u guys though, sorry for hte long post…thanks…
Remember, they’re adjustable. You can buy a 40 and take out 20 pounds. That way if you decide to increase weight later for dips, pull-ups etc. you can.
Excellent, i thought this was the case, thanks, 40 it is
They used to have an option of getting the 40 vest with 20lbs of weights as well. That is what I purchased because there is no way I’m going to be going beyond 20 lbs in the near future and I would only use 40 lbs for stuff like hiking and sled pulling which I don’t currently do. I just started using mine for ice hockey and it rocks.
Thanks for the reply man, i just ordered mine today, and will start using it for lax next week
Do you mind if I asked how much you paid for it? I was looking at the 40lb myself and was not picked to review.
Thank you in Advance and great job with the LAX. I was a New England All-Star in LAX back in 93’ and missed All-American due to my size so I know how hard you must have worked. Again, great job!
Nice, i love hearing about other laxers…i play at Post, made division two, second team AA…about the x vest, i got the 40 lb from coach davies website…200 bucks plus 20 shipping to LI…he throws in some freebies, a shirt and a hat, not a bad deal, i’ll use this thing for a while, still got 2 years of college lax left, then no telling what i’m gonna decide to do after…ohh yea incase u dont know the website is www.renegadetraining.com
Just ordered a 40 pounder. I’m gonna use it to train for MMA. I figured that I could just adjust the weight accordingly (lower). I can’t wait to get it in the mail.
