Does running with dumbbells actually do anything?

It makes people look retarded, there's that.

Why would you wanna do that?

>>39091065
I see people do it, and they look retarded.
So i'm asking.

It can help you practice good running form. Some people lift up their shoulders too much or move their arms like they're sprinting.

It does help the shoulders, but the cons far outweigh it. I had to tell my mom to stop before she hurt her shoulders from it. She thought it would be a good idea. I just showed her proper running form and how to do intervals and tempo runs to burn the same amount.

About the only people who should be running with weights are fireman and military.

I can't tell if you're serious. It's like running with a weighted fucking backpack -- it increases the weight.

Not that running for 30 minutes with 5-10 extra lbs is really going to burn anything significant.

It's like benching in the Smith machine. People do it, and have their reasons, but their reasons aren't good.

Yeah, it fucks up your joints

>>39091034
Not really. Just like some people think ankle weights while running will make you faster. Nope! It will strain the hell out of your calves.

Came here to post this, word for word.

Its bad for you. Throws off your gait, not good for joints, messes up your form, we could go on.

Wear a weighted backpack if you want to make your run harder.

It does make you feel lighter though.
Also, I guess a person who weight 70 kilos who trained with 10 extra kilos will run farther than a person who weights 70 kilos without weighttraining? Not sure.

it would destroy your shoulders, back, and hips. when the military does it, they're carrying gear that was designed to properly distribute weight. Even then a ruck run can still fuck you up. Crippling these soft privates left and right, lemme tell ya.
