Weighted Vests 

Increase Strength and Endurance with a Weighted Vest

Weighted vests are an essential training tool for CrossFit, HYROX, strength training and functional fitness. By adding extra resistance to bodyweight exercises, they help improve muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness and overall athletic performance.

Why train with a weighted vest?

A weighted vest increases the difficulty of pull-ups, push-ups, squats, lunges, burpees and running without changing your movement patterns. It allows athletes to progressively overload bodyweight exercises while maintaining natural technique.

A weighted vest for the Murph workout

Murph is one of the most iconic CrossFit workouts. Athletes completing the workout RX traditionally wear a 20 lb (9 kg) weighted vest for men or 14 lb (6 kg) for women. A well-fitted vest provides comfort, stability and freedom of movement throughout the entire workout.

How do you choose the right weighted vest?

Adjustable weighted vests allow progressive loading as your fitness improves. Tactical-style models provide excellent stability, while lighter designs maximize mobility for dynamic training sessions. The best choice depends on your training goals and preferred workouts.

What training styles are weighted vests suitable for?

Weighted vests are ideal for CrossFit, HYROX, functional fitness, strength training, obstacle course racing, calisthenics and military-style conditioning. They provide an effective way to increase workout intensity while maintaining natural movement patterns.
