Combining weighted vest with handheld weights, especially kettlebells, is a real insight. I had been doing heavy farmers carries until I ran into a rotator cuff injury (not caused by the carrying btw). I was able to maintain my training by moving the weight from my arms to a weighted vest. Another good insight you give is to limit the time that you use the vest as it can cause disc compression which can create other problems. As you say you must do it gradually and build your core and lumbar region without overtraining. Ancillary core exercises in combination are also very helpful. I was able to find a happy medium by doing an uphill walk with the vest limited to 30 minutes. Over time I progressed the exercise by loading more weight back onto my arms and combining the two, vest + handheld, as you show in the video. Im surprised this isnt discussed elsewhere because its so effective. Thanks for putting this on yt.
Yeah the vests really are underrated from a rehab point of view, so long as they're used sensibly there is a group of the population that can really leverage them to make progress that otherwise might be circumstantially quite difficult :)
Would this be okay for those with some Scoliosis and neck disc bulges? I managed to look this brand of vest up on the internet, i cant see a 30kg version. Do you sell them in tour shop?
It's not really going to affect the neck if you're using it right, but i would say using it sensibly would be good for scoliosis in our opinion. We do not sell them but a quick google search will show some good options - just make sure you get the ones with the removable 1kg weights :)

What if you just wear it to walk, would it still help? I have DDD, osteoarthritis, cervical stenosis.
I don't think that's the best use for it :)

You are very verbose and repetitive. Could have been said in 60 second video
Wow, this is nothing, you should see some of the other videos and podcast episodes, I think you’d love them.
Ps. Repetition is the father of learning.
