I am looking around for alternatives to adding more weight to my lower body work. I found that adding more weight on my barbell could jeopardize my safety without having a spotter.
I've looked into weighted vests but got turned off since it might get a little 'warm' wearing one during leg work. Also, I am short; therefore, might get in the way of lunges/squats. I also like the idea of having the weights around my waist (my center of gravity) instead of hanging on my shoulder.
I found weighted belts at by www.jumpusa.com. It is fairly expensive ($140 for 30lbs) compared to the weighted vest ($100 for 40 lbs). I would like to know if anybody has these, and what do you think of it? What are pros and cons about it? Worth it?
TIA!
