So /fit/, what to you think of weighted vests for cardio and calisthenics? Im considering a 20kg-30kg vest to simulate combat gear whilst training, as Im in the military.

Can't you just wear your issued body armour and train in that?

It'll destroy your knee and ankle cartilage

During Callisthenics, there are no issues, people do weighted callisthenics all the time. For running however, I can't recommend it. Chances are you'll destroy your joints and back, especially your feet and knees won't be happy.

Run faster, harder and more often

I'm using a weight vest for calisthenics but I'd never use it for cardio. Don't want to destroy my joints and shit.

Just wear your plate carrier, you stupid boot.

Sprints, babes. Steep hill. 5-8 reps (depending on those neurological feels). 50-80 meters. Twice a week.
