How the recommendation works
If you can’t do 6 strict pull-ups yet, build your base first. Above that, we scale load from ~5% bodyweight upward,
with diminishing returns, and cap the final recommendation at 30kg.
Weighted Vest Ideal Load
For fitness, strength, and muscle growth, you should be constantly challenging yourself.
If you are unsure of what your vest load should be, use this simple calculator to help you gauge!
It is based on your Weight and your Max Bodyweight Repetitions of Pull-Ups or any exercise of your choice.
Note that this is an estimate for general fitness and strength training. Other aspects such as streetlifting and competitive weighted training are highly specific and not what the calculator is meant for.
Once you found your ideal starting load or your end goal load, you can start to decide which vest to get!
