So are the leg weights a real thing?
I wanna be like Lee.
Yes they are a real thing but no you won't become like Lee. You'll just end up injuring yourself.
Living constantly with heightened gravity would be better if it were possible.
>Is anime real?
I don't know, you tell me, moron.

They are real but unfortunately they don't work as well as just being fat, so half the goofballs on this board make themselves fat to gain fat strength before slimming down again.

>tfw you won't be able to train with King Kai in 10x gravity
>>37740975
Wouldnt that make you shorter ?
>>37741051
I'm short when I fuck your mom
>>37741051
just stand on your head then you'll be taller since you're upside down you will grow the opposite way

how can I go about buying some? I've never seen any in fitness shops and Ive never bought these things online (I assume shipping is expensive on weights).
And I don't mean be like Lee as in physically, I just mean personality-wise. He's good inspiration for self-improvement.

>tfw 5'4
I can't get any shorter, that's why I'm going for the Bruce Lee build rather than buling up and getting R I P P E D
anyway I think leg weights might be a good idea for when I'm doing cardio, or just while I walk around house.
reminder to check out the Naruto general on /vg/

if you're tired of not being allowed to talk about Naruto on /a/ that is
as for leg weights they genuinely sound like a neat idea but I've never heard of anyone using them.
>>37740975
what's the danger of getting injured?
>>37741168
I tried it once and got shin splints. Had to rest for a few months before I could start running again.
>>37741168
Knee/shin problems. Trust me, as much as I want to do Lee's training it just isn't good for a body without chakra
>>37740941
dont put on leg weights until you are able to run an entire mile without stopping.time should be about 6-7 minutes and you shouldn't be super tired.
>>37741382
But would you argue it's realistic, or is it as problematic as >>37741262 >>37741181 say?
>>37741404
I agree with >>37741382
And I'd say it's safe as long as you start with very low weight and keep it tight.
Leg weights are real, but they're pretty retarded in almost every application.
For running, the impact your gait which fucks up your joints. For kicking (lol) you're effectively changing your range of motion in order to compensate for the change in moment force.
The only thing they're really only good for is things like leg raises where it is difficult to use weights with reliable stability during the movements.
Otherwise, don't kid yourself and stop watching such shit tier animu
>>37741404
it is realisic but it wont improve as much as you think
>>37740941
Might be unrealistic, but Lee's a good role model to have. Keep going anon!
>>37740941
A guy I went to school with who was semi-pro at taekwondo (he was aiming to make the olympics) used to wear them. No idea if they're legit or not though.
>>37740988
>nothing that is represented in fiction also exists in reality
fuck man, it was ten years ago that I watched this shit
where did all the time go
>>37741382
NO.
if you are going to wear any weighted clothing then at least make it a weighted vest. If you run around in leg weights you are likely going to end up injured. If you don't get injured the gains you make will be negligible.
Why do think professional athletes don't run around with arm / leg weights?
>>37743210
This guys got the right idea, short term may not be anything but you're going to eventually screw up your hips and knees.
>>37743210
admittedly I don't have experience with this, but it's prtty obvious that you'd want the weights as low as possible to avoid injuries while running. It's basic lever physics, the higher up the weights are the easier it is to slip / lose balance.
But yeah putting weights on your ankles might not be the best idea. Again not experienced but you could pull a muscle or something.
The great thing about running is that you can increase the resistance by running faster. You don't need any kind of meme anime exercise that makes you seem like a jackass, just run faster and you'll not only get better results but also a lot safer
Do things actually work?
>>37743721
these things*
Fukkin lol
>>37743736
yes
also don't forget to run with your hands behind your back for the aerodynamics and do 100 push ups 100 squats 1000km 100000dicks in your ass every single day I fucking hate /a/
>>37741068
nice.
>>37740941
They're a real thing. So are torn ligaments and tendons.
>>37743766
/a/ hates Naruto. See >>37741168
