Heavy Weight Weighted Vest 0.5–5 kg

Product detailed description

Universal adjustable Heavy Weight weighted vest 0.5–5 kg  ideal for younger athletes as well as running and other conditioning training.

Description:

Our weighted vest/vest with weights/training vest distributes the load evenly and is handmade in the Czech Republic from quality European materials to achieve maximum durability. Thanks to our specific manufacturing method, the vest is as compact as possible, so it stays firmly on your body even when running or doing any other conditioning training.

Two straps with wide Velcro ensure a snug fit that adapts perfectly to your body. The size of the weighted vest/vest with weights/training vest is universal and suits all body types. The weighted vest is designed to boost the effectiveness of any sport, workout or physical activity.

Over the years, the Heavy Weight weighted vest has undergone many changes and innovations, developed with input from professional athletes across all sporting disciplines. We continue to innovate and constantly improve and refine our products.

Just like the Czech Heavy Weight resistance rope, the Czech Heavy Weight running parachute provides horizontal resistance to complement the vertical load of the vest.

Weights:

The weight of the vest is fully adjustable from 0.5 kilograms up to the maximum of the chosen weight variant. The 5 kg variant is best suited to younger athletes, who should load their bodies gradually. Its cut is tailored accordingly. The pack contains ten half-kilogram weights. 

As the filling, we use a special loose metal product packed into pouches of technical fabric to achieve better flexibility and softness. Unlike the competition, we do not use sand or loose waste, which is too light, bulky and dusty. Nor do we use metal plates or bricks, which are too dangerous and can cause injury. Our filling ensures safety during training and a high level of mobility that you simply cannot achieve with other types of filling.

Another great benefit is the versatility of the weights, which can also be used in our Czech kettlebags filled with the very same weights from the weighted vests for your all-round training.

We offer three variants of these kettlebags:

• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–20 kg
• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–30 kg
• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–40 kg

NEW in are Heavy Weight weighted shorts whose weights are also fully compatible. 

Use for:

Unlimited use of the vest in any type of training: hockey (on and off the ice), football, floorball, basketball, American football, rugby, combat sports, athletics, bodyweight training, street workout, calisthenics, TRX, and both strength and conditioning training. The vest can be used both on your body and in your hand as a dumbbell or weight. 

Would you like to run with a Heavy Weight weighted vest? First read our article on running with a weighted vest. It is important to follow certain rules when using a weighted vest for running, so that your training is effective and doesn't cause injury.

What effect does a weighted vest have? You'll find the answer as to whether it is effective to use a weighted vest, weighted shorts or other weights in this article.

 Another huge advantage is the option of buying an empty vest once you already own one. This means that when your vest wears out or you simply get tired of the old design, you can buy a vest without weights (i.e. empty) and reuse the weights from your old vest. This makes your next purchase considerably cheaper. There are various weighted vest designs, or you can have a vest made to order with your own custom design.

• weighted vest 0.5–10 kg  without weights
• weighted vest 1–20 kg without weights
• weighted vest 0.5–10 kg with custom design without weights

The weighted vest is ideally combined with:

• gymnastic rings in the wider-grip variant, 
• gymnastic rings in the narrower-grip variant 
• or a suspension trainer.

Benefits: 

• Handmade in the Czech Republic from European materials
• Tested by professional athletes
• Adjustable weight keeps you motivated to improve
• Double system of adjustment and fastening to the body
• Usable in any type of training
• Universal size for all body types
• The safest and most suitable type of vest weighting

A great advantage of the Heavy Weight weighted vest is the option of buying an empty vest after a few years, once your original one wears out — so you can have it fresh and looking great again for years to come. You'll find the weighted vest without weights here.

You can supplement weighted-vest training with resistance in the form of resistance bands:

• Heavy Weight resistance band, resistance up to approx. 7 kg
• Heavy Weight resistance band, resistance up to approx. 13 kg
• Heavy Weight resistance band, resistance up to approx. 22 kg
• Heavy Weight resistance band, resistance up to approx. 29 kg
• Heavy Weight resistance band, resistance up to approx. 45 kg
• Heavy Weight resistance bands, complete set 7 to 45 kg

As a hockey player, or simply someone who likes a bit of fun in their training, you can glide along with your vest on the slide board — otherwise known as a skating trainer.

After consulting the coaches of UFC fighters, MMA wrestlers and boxers, we also recognised the importance of another product that protects the joints, shoulders and elbows: Heavy Weight MMA and boxing resistance bands.

Dynamic exercise is a truly specific form of training these days, and there are some very interesting and effective tools such as medicine balls in various weight variants for jumps, stability exercises, striking practice and many other types of training. Close behind them are the widely used Bulgarian bags and battle ropes, ideal for strengthening your shoulders, forearms, grip and wrists — in fact your whole body.

Do you train in comfort? If not, you should — put the soft Heavy Weight exercise mat under you for sit-ups and other exercises.

When training with a weighted vest/vest with weights/training vest, you shouldn't forget about recovery. Muscle recovery is part of every workout, and the Heavy Weight foam roller will help you with that.

A higher level of rehabilitation and muscle release is provided by the TOP GUN Heavy Weight massage gun, which comfortably and conveniently relaxes your entire body.
