this

why don't you make yourself feel better? mind over matter. mental fitness matters WAY more than physical fitness

See I used to be pretty fat. Then I lost 80 pounds pretty quickly. Now I'm super light weight. For the first year and a half I felt like I could fly because my legs were used to carrying all that weight. It was the best feeling in the world. I miss it. I want it back.

Of course it would work. You could go for a swim too

There's three types of muscle fibers. Two of them are for explosive strength which makes your muscles big. The other one is endurance strength which doesn't make your muscle big at all. Wearing weights like a weight vest or backpack would just lead to endurance gains, and if done for too long, probably wearing out your joints, which can fuck up your lower back, shoulders, and knees for the rest of your life.

Thanks anon, I'll take a look.

See that's what I wanted to know about. If there were any risks to it. I assume it's fairly similar to just being overweight, but I guess the weight would be less evenly distributed. I probably wouldn't be doing proper work outs with it on, just my normal get-around. I really just want to get my legs accustomed to carrying a heavy load again because >>40677456

Soooo anon, why not strengthen your legs with conventional weight training? You just lift weights until your legs are as strong as they used to be when you were fat, and that's it

Of course, I was just considering this as an option and figured I might as well make a thread to ask if it was a thing people do.
Squats right? It's squats?

>In training camps and in the field, soldiers may ruck up to 25 miles (or more) a day, grunting a pack that weighs upwards of 200 pounds.

If you just want to be able to carry heavy load, you can do rucking, which is what Navy SEALs do. Get a backpack, start with 10% of your weight, and go for a walk or hike as long as you want. Slowly increment your weight.

Actually you could also go somewhere where there's less gravity, like the Moon of Mars. Practically speaking, you'd weigh less but your muscle strength remaining constant you'd get that same feeling you could fly!

>>40677640
Seems easy enough. Just fill up an old backpack with whatever and go on the walks I would anyway. Thanks friend.

>>40677622
squats, diddys, calf extensions n shit are gonna be the most important but why not just work everything out and get in shape overall while you're at it? it's a great fucking feeling

>>40677989
