Weight training

Ok so I was wondering if wearing weighted clothing (like a book-bag with dumb bells or vests with weights on them) could hurt your spine? Does it come down to your size, age, and the amount of weight being used? How much is too much? I saw it in a video and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer.

  • Stuffing a backpack with weights is a terrible idea and will only serve to hurt your back and tire you out- what you get out of it isn't nearly worth what you go through. There are special bags that are similar to vests you can wear that you basically fill with sand, but that weight is distributed between your front, back and sides. And really that's just a pain in the ass too. Honestly, if you want to work out just work out. Don't try to pull a Dragonball Z.

    • OP, you wear a weight-training belt. They are professional, and they work. The only other item I would use in some form of training, are those massive hiking rucksacks. When I go camping I just fill it up to the brim, it actually weighs over a good 10 kilograms, surpassing even 15kg sometimes. really trains up your shoulders and trapezium muscles. I wouldn't really try anything else in case it does hurt your spine, you'll never know until it has actually damaged you.

    • Don't do it at all. That is INCREDIBLY BAD for your joints.if you're looking to gain endurance or mass or shit like that, just do free weights at the gym.

        It could be harmful if it's too much. At the same time it shouldn't exactly feel comfortable, like you should know something's there. Start small and work your way up gradually.
