Cool as hell. Way heavier than it seems for most workouts that aren't squats.
Trying to figure out how best to incorporate it into the current workout. Current workout is -
ab roller 1 min
push ups 1 min
squat + 35 lb dumbbells floor to ceiling 1 min
deadlift two 35 lb dumbbells 1 min
back row two 35 dumbbells 1 min
For the squat / deadlifts the 50 lb vest is fine. For the rest it makes the fail out before 1 min. So possibly just set the weighted vest to whatever weight allows the rest to still be able to function for 1 min.
I got this weighted zipper vest from mir -

Putting the vest on "vest style" with a zipper at high weights is.. interesting lol. I don't think it's a valid style past a certain weight point. Chaffs your arms putting it on (in this case it rolls back velcro in the shoulder straps and the vecro scratches your arm at 50 lbs lol, so I'll probably have to sow that part closed).

The door to my room is a sliding door. So unfortunately I can't put a bar there. If I had a bigger place I'd have no problem buying it's own stand. Maybe I'd be ok with drilling a bar into the wall. I am thinking in my overall workout, downward lats is the one thing I'm missing that I have no way to do.
This originally started with just doing some things at home that could let me skip some gym trips. Now I've nearly negated the need for the gym aside from some specialty machines lol.
