    You need to look into training in weighted clothing DBZ style.

    the only time youre ever going to actually need weighted strain is when youre training for serious (6+ hour) endurance events. if youre a regular dude that wants to reach that level of fitness..why? what the hell are you going to need that for? your body knows what youre doing

    You know they actually make weighted vests too? I once tried a 50kg (~110lbs) vest for the lulz and gave up after a flight of stairs.

    Color me interested! I suck at searching for things, but that is what I'm looking for.

    For all the haters in this thread this motherfucker wears 100lb ankle bracelets. Also, you can pick any of this stuff up at Sports Authority or your local sports store. You should work your way up to w/e weight you want to get to.

    Ankle and wrist waits will really fuck up your limbs if you dont use them properly. You cant just throw on any weight, you have to start from the bottom. I used to use them years ago, and started off with 1lb, and eventually got to a comfortable 10lb on each arm, and 20lb on each leg. Wearing weights + doing tree work (or any manual labor job) does miracles I swear.

    But yeah, you have to start off at the bottom, there are serious medical concerns.

    I use to run with 2.5 pound wrist weights and let me tell you that's no joke, lol. When I first started out I couldn't even finish 3 miles before I couldn't lift my arms anymore. I knew my arms would get tired, but I didn't anticipate that it would be THAT tough. Lol, really, the guys on here aren't lying

    Dude Turkish Star Wars is fucking incredible, with or without subtitles. I can highly recommend as well Turkish Rambo, Turkish Spiderman (HE IS A BAD GUY), and pretty much anything with Cüneyt Arkin. I consistently start crying I'm laughing so hard.
