Good Kit!
We at PT Fitness have recently been given a Raptor Training Vest to trial, very nice of them to do so I thought, so I thought I'd put the little fella through its paces and see what it can do!
The vest (male standard) weighs 30lbs, (15kg), now I could have used this quite easily at our gym but I thought that would be kinda pointless as I and our clients get really good workouts here any way, so this is what I did, if you can get a vest give it a go, its a real beast!
Run 5 miles, during which, when you find ideal places to do so complete the following:
3 x 10 Chins (I used a football goal)
3 x 10 Dips off a park bench
3 x 10 box jumps onto a park bench
3 x 10 push-ups
5 x lamp post sprints
For now thats all I've done with it, but I found it a challenge and fun all at the same time, on the down side recovery was a lot harder, the pressure from the vest downwards across the shoulders and the restriction in movement from breathing made things a little tougher than normal, but on the plus side that should make my lungs work a touch harder!
