I am always looking for different bits of training kit to try and utilise in my sessions, to add something different or enhance a specific area. It’s always a bit of a minefield as the fitness market is littered with loads of dodgy and gimmicky gear. One piece of gym equipment that is far from dodgy or gimmicky is the Raptor Weighted vest. I came across the Raptor weight vest by accident, as I have tendonitis of my knees which means I am constantly having to do rehab on them. One of the exercises that I do often, are Decline eccentric squats, which requires me to either, hold or wear a weight. My rehab is very Posterior chain dominated. I have tried wearing a weight vest for these various exercises, but always found them to be of poor quality and too light, but I am not saying they are all like that, but certainly the ones I had used in the past. I was looking through good old twitter one day, when I came across Raptor and their unique vests....
