Creating a conforming evenly distributed weight suit to be better than a weight vest. Could this be a performance enhancement breakthrough? [25% off My Bodyweight Training Plans] - onlykindsfitness.com/discount...
Yeah I was thinking that too. Sew a couple of weighted blankets together and fashion a big weighted onesie with velcro closures maybe. Would be pretty heavy though, and hilarious.
I would hang the chain's rings all around the body with the zip ties, and use another shirt on top of that to cover it up and stitch it to the one underneath, and the same for the pants.
Lol funny video, but brother it does exist😂 a boxer I train with had a full suit from Omorpho and they make leggings, vests, t-shirts, everything. Expensive but I tried them and they’re super nice.
I think this is a pretty good proof of concept. I think you have something here. A better material to lay the weighted cords ontop of, perhaps Or just insulate the material/underarmor as a whole to make it weighted, as opposed to having external weight bouncing around?
If you wanted to spend way too much time, you could sew pockets of metal beads/small ball bearings/lead weights over the immobile parts of the clothing. Like a weighted blanket.
My idea: A bodysuit that has hooks on each limb and joint so you can target a specific resistance move. Example: Say you want to target triceps ideally you would connect a band from your shoulder to your hand and have one connected to your inner bicep for stability. Or it could have the same tension effects that a bike brake brake is under using wire and springs. Idk would be cool to always be working out while doing your day to day.
maybe you could like pay someone to weave extension cords or some sort of metal between fabric, and then give them your measurements so that they don't make it too tight, and then add more weight by putting more wire?
Found your channel not so long ago, and just been watching all your videos recently and I love them. Could you not try with a surfsuit? that would stay on even better and already has weight.
Just as a simple iteration on your existing prototype, I’m thinking of Velcro with an additional layer of clothing on top to keep it from sticking to itself while moving. This way the weight could be adjusted in total and in location. Plus the weight could be removed for washing.
Try this with a wetsuit and lead rope. "What is Lead-Rope? Lead-Rope generally looks like normal everyday rope. However, as the name suggests, Lead is contained within the synthetic poly rope. This obviously makes it a heavy rope, which is an ideal property for certain applications. Applications: Professional fishing: Used as method of weighing the bottom of a fishing net down. General netting: Used as a method of weighing down Sports and Bird netting. "
11:25 I haven’t seen any weighted “suits” before - but weighted clothing (ie: shirts and shorts/pants) exist, as well as ankle weights, wrist weights, and heavy helmets. Additionally, there are boxing suits that use resistance bands and/or cables to add resistance to movement (punches).
Hilarious, I like your spirit of ingenuity. I feel straight up chainmail with side laces for tightening would be easier. Cody Labs made and worn a copper chainmail shirt and lost a lot of weight.
Instead of a weight suit, make a resistance suit (which is what I thought this was). Use elastic bands to constrict movements all over the body and your body will feel heavier to move while doing anything!
I had a chainmail shirt that weighed 30 lbs and man it was a hard workout just doing ordinary activities. Medieval solders were buff for a reason. To clean it you put it in a bucket of sand with a strong lid and roll it back and forth. You need actual armor type and not the costume stuff.
Sweet idea. I’m an engineer working on a design for a suit that gives you resistance in every plane of motion. It’s a long way off, but I’ll let you know when/if it’s finished. Wish me luck. I’m doing this for the bros!
I would have gotten some material similar to the compression shirt/pants and sewed in a bunch of pockets and filled with beads and sew shut, sort of like a weighted blanket.
You could probably find or make some sort of heavy beads that you sew evenly over the body. Maybe metal nuts or washers. Would be almost like chain mail. Or like others have said, a weighted blanket.
You know what woydl work better than chiant mail. Wrapping chains of different sizes around yoru body obviously on a suit. Maybe keep it in place with velcro
The only weight vest that I have seen at the moment are one from PowerHandz about 10lbs and one from Bartlas about 40lbs but it cost $500. I don't know if they are any good but you can give it a try
I love Pigmie but surely there was a better way to make a resistance suit like pockets for weights located in every part of the suit like quad’s, hamstrings etc.
I'm surprised this wasn't released april 1. There are multiple companies with weighted gear that either have mini pockets for weights all over or sewn in weights. It would have taken 60 seconds to do a search to find them.
im wondering if you could have like a double layered shirt/ pants and then add sand/wheat inside the layers , like little pockets kind of thing and then use a sewing machine to seal up the "pockets" of sand/wheat , a bit more brainstorming on this and it should work wayyyy better . look at rugby helmets for example , how they look like they have little pockets all over them , now imagine that look on your gear and weighted with sand or other material ???
Something like that would be great for astronauts on extended missions to low gravity areas like Mars or the moon. Help them retain muscle and bone density.
Don't use it during a thunderstorm! If the "cable" could be sewn into sleeves (tubes) and made part of the garment, the concept would work better. Same consept as a weighted vest but the pockets are long and narrow to accomodate the weighted cable.
I swear in 10 years from now on we will have magnetic chambers, where you can train with suits on making you 2-times heavier, that stuff will give gains on a different level
Interesting concept. Copper is malleable, relatively heavy and supposedly antimicrobial. Perhaps under armour, glue, velcro dots or velcro patches and small rounded copper body armor plates would hold better, be easier to adjust the Velcro, add or remove plates for different exercises or intensity? Might not look as cool of a cyborg suit though 🤔
Hey man, you should try a challenge where instead of working out you intentionally flex each muscle group for long periods of time all day, for 10 days, to see if it makes any changes. I've always wondered
From what I have seen. There's some kind of a belt that attaches rubber bands to your wrists and ankles. Was kind of expecting you to use that in this video. I use a length of chain wrapped around my waste. Instead of a west. it's so much cheaper and it doesn't load the spine. It isn't the most comfortable thing thou.
Everyone telling you it's a bad idea. You had an idea and it didn't look very good but worked. Had an idea tried it people didn't like it. It's okay to fail.
Titin is the closest that has happened so far to a weighted suit they a shirt and shorts that’s close dragon ball z goku a weighted shirt I’m personally also wanting a proper weighted suit similar to the idea of the titin brand that went out of business
