weighted vests

anyone use a weighted vest before in working out?

did you use it all the time? only specific times?

i'm training for a CPAT, so I definitely need it to improve myself on the stairclimber station, but i was curious at to other peoples usage of it for overall fitness use

great for explosiveness. I don't play rugby now that i'm out of college (and would like to get back into it) and I used it for sprints. They wouldn't even be long sprints, 10 yards max. Just explode off that line. Kind of the same idea as a batter using one of those donuts.
