Email 5: Bodyweight WO vs. Weight Lifting
|
|
|
Why are bodyweight exercises better than weight lifting? This question comes up now and then. The fact that lifting weights is good for muscle strength and development is a no brainer, but what makes me think bodyweight exercises are superior? Well, it is simply the core strength, safety and variation issue. I have lifted weights in high school and college for the reasons stated above - to gain muscle size and develop strength, and it works!!! So, why do I teach body weight training is superior? It has everything to do with how the body works. Take push ups for example; the hands can be flat, fisted, finger-tipped, slanted inward, outward or even wrist ward! Try that with a barbell. I know the variations are limitless. This is a biggie when dealing with usable strength, and yes, with practice and dedication and the addition of a weight vest it can be muscle-building dynamite. Get started today. Weight vest training takes your body and turbo charges it! Think about enhanced body weight exercise and how versatile they are and you will agree.

Email 6: Weight Vest & Bike

Yahoo had the Howard’s Last Day and Sheryl was performing. I just watched a short portion of it. I was then thinking of Lance Armstrong and his incredible 7th. Then I got a call from my wife telling me my new 1up trainer had just arrived. This is fantastic! My son Jacob has been very helpful in getting me to do the right thing as far as my triathlete aspirations are concerned. I asked if he thought this trainer would do the job for me as I live here in Rexburg Idaho - today, icy and about 17 deg. I plan to incorporate my weight vest in my standup biking. I will never enter a long bike race, it’s not my goal, but I will do well with the sprint triathlon. Stand up bicycle riding will be a killer on my legs!! I’ll take a photo and put it on my web soon.

This is Jacob, Jeff's son. He asked me to write the occasional email for variety. To let you know a little about myself; I grew up in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I was surrounded by weight vests throughout my childhood and in high school I made them as an after school job. I have since been a part of the company as an employee, I have helped in designing a few of the vests and have been a sponsored athlete under the V-Max (Weightvest.com) label. I use my weight vest to train for endurance sports. I am a triathlete and adventure racer in my spare time. The spare time of which I speak is minimal lately, because I am currently in my third year of medical school. I have directed my education toward the body and how it functions, specifically the musckuloskeletal system. I am currently writing a book about balance training and how it can benefit athletes as well as the rehabilitation of injuries. You will hear more about this concept in the coming months since I intend to incorporate my V-Max weight vest into my program. It can't be beat, body weight exercises are the most natural of all and adding a weight vest only enhances that. My emphasis is on balance and healing using the body as its tool. So, look for my emails and if you have any questions for me just email me and I will be happy to answer them.
Merry Christmas,
Jacob Egbert
