If you run with one of these on you can say goodbye to your knees.

If you want to work out your legs, lift at the gym. If you want better cardio, run faster or longer. Weight vests are a meme

So what's the differance between a 120 pound man with a 30 pound weight vest running versus the same man who weighs 150 pounds running?
serious question, what are your thoughts?

Great for body weight exercises! I use my plate carrier

A 150lb man is accustomed to running weighing at 150lbs. You throw 30lbs, even 5lbs, on anyone that tiny and you'll fuck up every joint from your ankles to your vertebrae.
You'd have to start WALKING with 3-5 lbs and slowing increasing your WALKING capabilities with the extra weight.
To get anywhere for running with 30 lbs at 150lbs, it would take years of acclimation.
Why the fuck do you think people who gain a lot of weight on roids can't run for shit? Anyone that cycles is going to slow down until their body adapts to the new weight.

Get a dip belt and weight instead.

It's not spaced out evenly like natural body weight. I had an ROTC roommate in college who ran with a weight vest. For the first few weeks he loved it, but started getting back pains and knee problems from running up and down hills. He eventually just used the vest as a substitute for not having a rucksack.

To clarify, he did nature walks with the vest instead of running, and the pains went away

We do PT in bodyarmor quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend running in one. If you want a job involving that, there's plenty of opportunity to do just that during actual field/training exercises and real-world missions.

What we do is high volume calisthenics and grass drills. Work on being about to do 300 pushups/300 pull-ups/300 squats with a 25 lb vest on in under an hour. Another decent bench mark to shoot for is a 400m bear crawl with no stops.

Quick rapid movements with an attached weight will fuck your shit up. However if you just wear one around for a walk or a hike it shouldnt bother you too much.

Think of it more in a passive sense that you aren't actively doing an exercise, youre just kinda making your life harder for the purpose of gains.

WHY?!! Your only unnecessarily fucking up your shoulders and your knees, and there's a high chance you'll be shot for looking like a terrorist. If you want joint exercise go run up and then walk down some hills.

Please take it from an old retarded huntingfag, carrying more weight then you need is retarded and fucks with your joints.
