Here is how you can gain Lean Muscle with the Weighted Vest and get Maximum Strength Gains.
With the weighted vest, you'll soon be unable to fit into your old clothes from packing on all that lean muscle.
My Weighted Vest Story
With proper weighted training, I once managed to gain 800g of muscle mass in 30days, of course with proper dieting as well. Weighted Calsithenics training is effective, saves you DAYS worth of time over a month and simplifies all your workout.
I also showed how I managed to gain 11kg of lean muscle over the years with Calisthenics here if you are interested.
Here are 3 main benefits of training with weighted vest.
1. Break Progress Plateaus with Increased Load
Calisthenics is all about bodyweight exercises. But what when a push-up becomes a walk in the park for you?
Calisthenics' biggest question solved with the Weighted Vest
One of the biggest concern for anyone starting out Calisthenics is:
After a while, the exercise becomes too easy to perform. And you have to do many reps to stimulate muscle growth.
Yet with the Weighted Vest, even the most fundamental exercises, like the humble push-up, become a powerhouse for muscle growth.
Even simple exercises can skyrocket muscle gain
The added resistance means you need to tell your muscles to work harder, turning every easy rep into a challenging one for muscle growth. Sometimes, simple works wonders. The weighted vest ensures that every movement matters, effectively sculpting your physique with each workout.
2. Easy Adjustment for Training
Bringing the Gym to you
One of the must-have features of the Weighted Vest is versatility in adjusting difficulty levels. Unlike in the gym, where you simply have to add on more weights, Calisthenics or bodyweight workouts requires you to use leverage to increase difficulty.
Performing weighted Calisthenics however, allows even a beginner to tailor the intensity to their fitness level. Simply add or remove the 1kg blocks in the weighted vest if it is too easy or difficult for you. And there you have it... Progressive overload! In other words, you bring the entire gym with you when you put on a weighted vest.
Easy for progressive overloading
By adding extra resistance, you're progressively overloading, promoting increased strength, endurance, and muscle hypertrophy. Adding even a mere 1kg/2.2lbs WILL make your workout many times more intense and leave you feeling satisfied after the workout. Most Calisthenics skills require basic foundational strength. That that is EXACTLY what the Weighted Vest will do for you. The Weighted Vest will help you push your limits and challenge you toward staggering growth.
3. Train Lower Body with Weighted Calisthenics
It is COMPLETELY FALSE that you cannot have lower body strength if you do Calisthenics. With the Weighted Vest, we can throw this notion out of the window.
Building a strong lower body
Performing simple Squats with the Weighted Vest can lead to increase in lower body strength. You can even perform Plyometric exercises (more explosive movements), with the Weighted Vest to train the fast twitch fiber muscles in your lower body. Performing lower body exercises with a Weighted Vest is the key that turns you into an Athlete.
