jesus christ, even 30lbs might be too much. If I do curls I can only do 35lbs....

Can't imagine a real skinny cat....

Dog, he was swinging that weight all the way from his hip to his shoulder, leaning super hard to the side, entire body strained and contorted. He did 3 reps like that and I had to step to son - it looked like either his elbow or lower back were on the brink of total destruction.

I use both so I am experienced to answer this

The answer is belt by a mile

Its far more customizable.....weight vests take too long to change out the loads and are limited by total weight and weight increments

Also, they get in the way of your range of motion if you are using a bulky one

Weight vests are best used for plyometric leg work and weighted pushups. They are also great for adding weight to goblet front squats when you dont have heavy enough dumbbells.

Just got through dancing...at night. I've been walking a lot (a mile every other day) So that's a start. I'm trying to get back into the groove of eating right. I think I'll make some corn with green beans tomorrow. speaking of which. Anyone know to season vegetables without butter?
