Hey! Thanks for watching. Loved how this episode turned out. You can find all of the resources I used in the show notes. I see a lot of angry comments, but remember, the question was should YOU wear weighted clothing. Goku is a super buff alien and he can obviously pull it off, but would using our Earth-version of weighted clothing give you similar benefits? Keeping that in mind, I stand by my conclusion. -- KH

The DBZ characters also had several several YEARS of training with them, from young ages. The time span alone could compensate their bodies into recognition of the weight. All of what you said is true, if you're sloppy while wearing them you'll get hurt. But flexibility training, and constant focus put on those exposed joints would be a lot like doing a workout till absolute failure. So long as you dont let your weights to get too heavy too soon you should be fine. Remember Goku was stronger than a grown man before he could walk. So the point of this practice is to have constant tension put on his body to make him have to constantly watch what hes doing. It helps his focus and control over his body. So that even if he took them off, or was fighting he WASNT just swinging around radically and losing control over his joints, tendons, etc. If you dont train or wear them the RIGHT way with your focus and alert on high at all times like every second you're wearing them you'll get hurt. You have to focus on not hyper extending at any time. Constant working out, hes not just wearing them like clothes, every move he makes is planned out. So that when he does lift his arm for something small like scratching his head or holding a cup hes making sure his whole body is in on it and making the conscious effort to move around without putting too much strain on his shoulder, rotator cuff, and elbows. His whole body is moving around with insane amounts of control. The more your body acclimates to that level of focus, the better off you'll be doing this training. Side note, goku is an alien who's body literally doubles its ability with every last rep and battle. So this training is literally perfect for his race. Humans would not be able to advance that fast without doing the training at a very young age. And of course with much lighter weights. If the body is used to being that heavy it'll compensate, if you focus on all of your movements and dont fling around willy nilly you should be fine. But again that's a "every second of every day" kind of thing. 24/7 focus, no matter what.

The bit at 7:23 is important to mention though. Having significant downward pressure on your limbs can mess up your joints if you're not careful enough. Particularly the shoulder since tries to stabilize the weight on your arm.

[@donaldblevins5028]

thats why 10+ years ago when I was practicing martial arts almost fulltime, i only bothered with ankle and wrist weights. I only wore them outside of the actual training times. the point was to make every little action: walking, cooking, working, etc an extra effort by itself, to not let my arms and legs just drop, to make every movement consciously and purposefully. The end result wasnt to make my muscles grow or anything like that, but make some muscles around my joints more durable. I found that my joints were able to withstand higher impacts/recoils from my own punches and kicks. But that was then, and here i am now. more than 10 years later. Suffered an injury that theres no way to 100% recover from. Spinal nerve damage. I had to give up martial arts. I can do most activities but with some limitations and every once in awhile my legs or parts of my legs would go numb and then Id have to use a cane to keep my self from dropping to the ground all of the sudden in front of people.

Usually these kind of studies are done on beginners since the change is easier to measure when it is relatively larger and the adaptations are usually also faster. Pro athlete is most likely not going to get as much benefit as a beginner if any.

[@ARCAD3BLOOD]

I think they tested for wrong results. Yes, you can sprint for about a second faster, or do less than a 10 pushups more, but that's also not what you trained. What you trained is not the strength exactly. Afterall, you didn't do much while wearing it. What you did though is wear it constantly. which means you trained constantly. So what you actually trained the most is not strength, but endurance.

TLDR: A weighted vest helps, but wrist and ankle weights are very dangerous for your joints.

[@andrewcorll1967]

I want to say, I love these videos and this channel in general. Love it. I've thought about this video specifically, and while I surely agree with everything said as it's pretty plain and simple, it occurs to me, even though this may or may not be specifically mentioned in the Dragon Ball series, that the weights worn, specifically the ankle and wrist weights, could be a matter of forced control in movement. Considering the strain (as mentioned) put onto joints while wearing the extra weight, a small amount of additional weight would force the use to move that much more slowly to essentially not break or damage themselves. What this would be doing would obviously not be a matter of substantial strength gain, but would instead force the wearer to be slow and controlled. And, if the wearer could move ultra fast whilst carrying the specified amount of extra weight, their movements could be substantially speedier upon removal of the weight. This part of the weight wearing makes sense. It seems to just be kind of a way to demonstrate, "Oh hey, I'm this strong and fast while wearing all of this extra weight...let me take it off and you'll see what I can REALLY do." Since by comparison, even if they were super fast, they'd be moving like a slug compared to what they could do without the weight. I think Rock Lee from Naruto still holds the absolute best weighted clothing/speed reveal in all of anime/manga history; maybe forever. I do imagine that very slow or isometric (static) training with ankle or wrist weights could be effective. Natural movements or holds, and long time under tension. Also, I know my comment is about 2 years late here. 😂

I actually tried this for three weeks. If you're interested, here's how it went down... I've been training for years, Boxing, Muay Thai and MMA. A couple years back, just before COVID, I got invited to fight in Strelka. I hadn't had a fight since my late twenties and I was one of the oldest fighters on the roster, so to get the edge over the younger competition, I thought I'd give it a try. I lived in (at home only) and trained with 2-2kg wrist weights on each forearm, the same on each leg and a 30kg vest strapped to my upper body. At home: Doing regular shit, like frying an egg was beyond frustrating, because all the gear would just get in the way. Eventually, I started walking around the house like a crab, so I didn't knock shit over and that included my kids! After a couple days, I started keeping my forearms bent in a semi-curl position without realizing, because I wasn't feeling any beneficial resistance on the muscle groups I was trying to target. After about a week, I had to keep them like that to relieve the strain off my rotator cuffs. I could feel some minor benefit in my core, because I had to WORK to keep a solid posture at all times, but in general, I could feel the unnatural position actually changing my posture for the worse. In terms of legs, I didn't really notice a difference. MMA and crossfit are pretty leg intensive, so maybe I didn't use enough weight or walk around enough, but I definitely felt it in the ligaments in my feet (and not in a good way), because I constantly had to correct my center of balance. I didn't try weighted sleeping, but I'm pretty sure it's a bitch! During training: Training was more frustrating than day to day life. Weighted training gear has it's benefits, but when you strap weights onto places that don't need them, they seriously get in the way! For example, pushups are nearly impossible with wrist weights, because your wrists can't bend. Sit-ups are awesome with wrist weight's but the vest restricts you from fully sitting up. Funny enough, I found bag and pad work to be the most counter-productive of the lot! I actually thought I'd gain in this department. The weights kept flying back and forth when I punched, especially with jabs and crosses. I had to keep resetting them, which took more time then the actual training itself! With kicking, I could feel some benefit with teeps, but with roundhouse kicks, the weights flung me off balance and stopped me from following through into my target and once again, just like with my wrists, it restricted joint movement in my ankles. The vest just got in the way of everything. There's my personal account. I hope that gives some insight to all the potential SSJ's out there... Weighted training gear isn't gonna miraculously help you achieve the transformation! They don't simulate extra gravity (like you think), because the extra weight isn't evenly distributed throughout your body. Give it a bash, maybe you'll get so angry from trying to live and train in them, that you'll explode and your hair will turn yellow 😀 Personally, all I gained was wasting three weeks of crucial training time. To be honest, you'll probably gain more by jogging with a barbell... Brilliantly done vid, I laughed my ass off 🤣🤣🤣

[@thekingsguide5402]

Morale of the Story: Weighted clothing is useful and smart aslong as its within training and giving your body rest time (Time dependant on your fitness level).Don't go trying to put on weight equal to your own body weight and begin training....No your not physically ready, you have to work your way up as you do in any type of training.A perfect example of a similar scenario is the military, you run in heavy boots aswell as a 45 pound ruck in a course of 2 to 3 months and over the course of time (Not just 2 weeks of slounging around like the study he mentioned) you will get stronger because your body is adapting to a new workload.In conclusion weighted clothing is useful for the physically fit looking to get even more fit now unless your a pt god (which your probably not if your watching this video, including myself just yet)you have to be able to understand your limits and what your body is capable of, otherwise you ineveitbly will hurt yourself.

i spent 1 year wearing a 20lb weighted vest and 10lb wrist and ankle weights all the time. when i started doing things without the weights on my body would overcompensate the amount of force needed to do things for the first few hours of removing them. i went for a sprint and yes i was faster, but i was bounding like a gazelle more than running and almost tripped bc i was not expecting to feel soo light after removing the weights. however i also noticed that with all that muscle conditioning and over exertion my heart rate was skyrocketed. not safe when used that way but for basic strength training id say yea

Goku's shirt is totally plausible if you take the Mythbusters' approach and try to replicate the results. 190 cubic inches of tungsten is about 60kg. The shirt Goku wore definitely looks much thicker than a regular shirt, and there's nothing saying it has to be made like a regular shirt, requiring a specific fabric with an enormous density. If you were able to disperse the metal over the shirt's surface area, you can start to get an idea of how thick the shirt would have to be. I think you could store the weight across the shirt by having a cell/quilted like structure, holding crushed tungsten. Much like weighted blankets are made. This would hold the weight, as well as allow for movement flexibility. You can quibble about specifics, but this is the general idea. Based off of one of my shirts, I used a surface area of 1000 sq inches, because that was a good deal smaller than my 1200 sq inch large shirt I used as a reference. If you divide that 190 cu inch by 1000, the tungsten would be .19" thick, uniformly across the surface area of the shirt. Since this is if it was a solid sheet, I assumed that 25% of the shirt's area would be taken up by the quilting pattern. This would consolidate the tungsten to 75% of the surface area, pushing up the thickness a bit. Meaning that the shirt would be about .25 inches thick. We don't see a quilted pattern. So let's assume, like a weighted blanket, that there is a durable exterior layer that masks and protects the structure underneath. I think Goku's shirt could totally pass for 1/4" thick and would be flexible, yet difficult enough to move around in to explain his difficulty taking it off. There you have it, a 60kg tungsten weighted shirt that is a plausible solution for Goku's training undergarment.

Yes I have a question: so, if it's the nitrogen in our atmosphere that makes the sky blue, and the chlorophyll that makes grass green, then what would create the green skies and blue plants like we see on Namek? Keeping in mind that the atmosphere on Namek is still relatively safe and breathable for humans!

[@Tassadar237]

Possibly some green refraction or reflection gasses in a band like our ozone layer, changing the perceived color of the sky, while only affecting the breathability of the upper atmosphere, which wouldn't be any LESS safe for humans than the upper atmosphere on earth. Edit: Not sure what gasses those might be though.

[@ruyman90]

It has 3 suns and blueish plant life and there is no night without bursting into flames. I don't think there is a realistic explanation.

[@zarcon4002]

You would have to have light of a wavelenght 490-570(green part of the spectrum) be refracted but which gas compositions and how thich of an atmosphere you need idk and considering the short wavelenght part of the spectrum is usually refracted its not likely.

[@ninjahombrepalito1721]

Krypton (not the planet, the 36th element in the periodic table), maybe.

[@RaindropsBleeding]

you would need to examine what it is about the nitrogen that causes our sky to appear blue. It's not the chemical makeup, it's the particles themselves. Raleigh scattering is what makes our skies blue, but it is also what makes our sunset red, as demonstrated in a brilliant lecture by Walter Lewin. The color can change based on how much of the atmosphere you need to travel through. You might have heard of a phenomenon known as The Green Flash, which occurs just before sundown on a clear day. There's a reason for this. It's actually due to the bending of light around earth, and green light gets bent a little less than red light so you sometimes see a second image of the sun descending in green. The green flash. Little known is that there's actually a full rainbow there, but the orange and yellow are harder to see on days when the green is there, and blend in with the reddening sky on other days. You need the right conditions, and the blue and purple are there as well but you'd never see them against an otherwise blue sky. Raleigh scattering works the same way. Light gets refracted and all that's left is blue because it gets refracted less. So if the thickness of the particles in the atmosphere were just right, the sky would appear green. This might even mean that there's more oxygen, so while plant life would be diminished, animal life would increase Now, the plants. Blue plant life is typically rare, due to the advantageous effects of having green chlorophyll. However, there are a few plants that grow in low light situations, that use a tweaked red-anthocyanin to reflect blue light, and absorb everything else. Given the dimmer lighting conditions of a planet with a green sky and the lower levels of Carbon-dioxide, plants might have opted to use this strategy to absorb lower light colors and reflect blue, and better absorb CO2, if they even work based on CO2 They could use nitrogen, perhaps. Also possible is that chlorophyll on that planet simply chose blue, since we don't really know why green chlorophyll is so dominant on our planet. It could just have easily been blue and worked nearly as well. The real reason is more likely that akira toriyama thought it would be easier to create an alien looking planet by swapping the colors of two commonly drawn items. It's a common trick in digital editing, and you'll notice it if you've ever inverted the colors on any image. Things simply look alien when you swap colors around, so that's probably what he did.

I train with weighted clothes, totaling close to 70kg. I would never punch with wrist weights over 5kg because they throw your arm forward after you stop moving. The same applies to legs; the momentum continues even after you stop. A weighted vest is really the only thing I would recommend. However, a heavy one might get you into trouble, as it is lined with metal bars that can be mistaken for something else around your waist.

My understanding on weighted vests is that when fighters cut weight they add the vest to there workout to match their previous weight so as to not lose the power from the legs and such that comes from losing weight which results in muscle loss as well. It helps keep the speed of your new weight while keeping the muscle in your legs of your previous weight and come fight day the difference in weight won’t affect your fighting style

When I was younger I tried Weighted training. Weights consisted of: * Kevlar vest if substituting Kevlar for metal plates can simulate a weighted shirt. It's bulky but I have done this. * In addition leg ankle weights (not very healthy for your ankles) and wrist weights. * ADD to that a 50lb rucksack and you will feel the G. It was around 100 extra pounds. Now should you do this? I don't recommended. I did this for a little over 5 years starting when I was around 13 and the side effects where that: * While I was a lot stronger than I looked due to my bones and muscles becoming denser. * When I started having back pain, my chiropractor, who I visited later after years of training , informed me that my spine had compressed and the back neck pain that I felt was due to serious bone compression in my mid back, lower back and neck. More specifically It was between the disks that would handle the natural curvature of the spine and support most of the weight when shifting and siting. * Those same disk ligaments had calcified a bit and my range of flexible motion had been reduced by 30%. * Another side effect was that my body got used to the weight and when I stopped wearing the weights after years of training my body would want to consume food to reach the weight it was used to. * I also gained Hypertension or high blood pressure from these compounding factors. If you are going to weight train don't do it for extended period of time and when you do have a certificated trainer and visit a physical therapist to monitor these side effects. I would not recommend weight training until after puberty when you reach your growth peak around age 21-23. Otherwise you can hinder your bone growth or damage your spine.

Hey Kyle, I went through your videos and noticed something very sad. I’m appalled, APPALLED I SAY, that you haven’t done a video on the physics of the helicarrier. You must rectify this with haste! Back to the video, you are correct. In exercise physiology, it is all about internal adaptation to external work, defined as W=FxD. In that regard, his muscles would definitely have to increase in CSA to adapt. With that being said, it’s not humanly possible to hit this for one reason: CSA. In studies comparing body builders to recreational lifters and sedentary individuals, body builders and recreational lifters have no difference in cross-sectional area but both are significantly higher than sedentary. The difference between body builders and recreational lifters is an increase in fiber count. It could be hyperplasia but that is still a hypothetical based on limited evidence. Even with inhibition of myostatin, the “brake system” to muscle growth, there is still a physiological ceiling. I’m also happy you brought up the articles showing no meaningful effect of weighted clothes. Similar to the “altitude simulating masks” and sauna suits, the training adaptation is mitigated by reduced training capacity, to wit, you’re restraining your training and therefore minimizing adaptation. Not to mention, they look like fools. ...Helicarrier! Do it! Do it now!

You were talking about how if you wore ankle and wrist weights it has potential to cause serious harm, now I say this as a weight lifter, it’s not about the weight it’s about the reps, adding let’s say 1 Lbs on each wrist but not ankles and purely ‘acclimate’ the muscle movements to this new weight and build from there. The more you work a muscle the stronger it becomes; I had an injury pertaining to my ball in socket, it was dented in the front and back and they highly recommended surgery, I declined surgery and opted for muscle rehab and spend 3 months strengthening both shoulder muscles.

[@BurakkuHishou]

I want to put my 2 cents in: So at one point, i was training for the ninja warrior competition, and to help me, my work let me wear some ankle and wrist weights. Each one had a total of 10 lbs. I didn't do anything too strenuous, just did the usual walking around, lifting up my arms as needed, etc. After about 8 hours of constant use, i gotta say the effects were amazing. I took them off and immediately i felt as light as a feather. Each step, my legs felt like they had much more power behind them then they usually did that i almost felt like i was just about to break into sprint with each step. Now the downsides: 1. They are very clunky. It may just have been the brand i was using, but it had cloth with pockets for sand packets to increase that weight. Almost looked like the cusps you would see in old cartoons that came with ball and chains. This made some delicate tasks very hard to do. Not to mention they weren't very tight, so they would slip up and down your arm as you moved it around. 2. The cloth was very irritating. To increase their durability they were made with the same stuff you would see on laptop bags or backpacks. Which made it very scratchy and irritating on your skin. 3. Running was practically impossible. With the irritating cloth, the constant movement up and down your legs, not to mention the clunky style, they would constantly hit against each other as you run, and even set you off balance a lot.

Be careful though, DO NOT use weights around the day if you are not already fit or you'll injure yourself, joints take a long time to strengthen and you can only increase their load 2-3 times a year by a bit.

Lots of sweat, I'd estimate it burns 300 calories. If you're expecting to carry a heavy backpack, as in mountain climbing or cross-country walking, then yes, I can recommend this training. Wear the weights only for that hour's walk, and remove and clean them promptly after -- do not wear them throughout the day! The legs and obliques may bulk up a bit, so pair this with a good upper body weight regimen. Every body is different. I would not recommend this if you have joint problems or if you're already packing a lot of extra pounds; stick to walking, bicycling and swimming. Also I strongly discourage this training until you're fully grown. Heavy backpacks on children can lead to spinal injuries. Stop training immediately if you feel any discomfort in the joints, especially the rotator cuffs, spine, or knees. As this is rough on the joints, allow plenty of recovery time -- no more than twice a week. Be certain to walk on a strictly level surface. With all that weight, you increase the possibility of stumbling and spraining an ankle. A running track is ideal. Well padded combat boots will help support the ankles, while giving their own workout to the front and side ankle muscles. Wait for a cool day, and have water available. This is not a gentle exercise and it's very specialized, but with these guidelines in place, carefully try it and see if it's right for you.

[@lukasperuzovic1429]

Commando Solo, your forgetting a few things. If you have your pack on properly and to avoid injury, alot of the weight of that pack is worn at the hips/waist and not the shoulders back. The Weight is evenly distributed to avoid stress injuries and you are conditioned to deal with the extra weight as a necessity, and you carry 100+ lbs of gear not including weapons, ammo, water and such as you need all that gear and not for strength training. Regular PT does more for your Fitness than carrying that pack ever will.

[@commandosolo1266]

I found my weight vest more comfortable than any backpack. The weight is draped across the shoulders very evenly rather than concentrated by the LBE's narrower straps. By no means have I advocated this as a substitute for standard military PT training, but as an optional cross-training supplement, like swimming or bicycling. And then only if the body responds to it well. In my experience, running does not train the legs in quite the same way this does, making this an attractive "train as you fight" option. My anecdotal account is of course no substitute for an actual scientific study, the only sensible way to validate or disprove it.

[@jafnanmeinsamr611]

i workout in 15 kg of steel body armour, jog, run, fight, etc. going over 30kg depending on your size is definitely detrimental

[@commandosolo1266]

Your experiences may vary. I'm sharing mine so people who want to try this won't do so in an unsafe way.

[@jafnanmeinsamr611]

yes true, but weight training is definitely better if you are training to do high energy activities in weighted gear, like medieval reenactment as i do, rather than having that boost when you kit down, its to keep you well adjusted to the weight of your gear

[@MrWesley63094]

4 inches onto a vertical leap is huge

[@johnnunya5428]

After only a few weeks too!

[@Rockstar1969_]

I’m going to try that

[@JimboTheCrackSmoka]

Yeah, its the difference between a rim graze and a full palm dunk. Im just about able to get my head to the rim tho, I dont wanna be too greedy.

[@PatThomson89]

And depending on the running test/agility test 1 second could be massive. Imagine if it was over 100m 1sec is massive in terms on where you sit

[@DaDualityofMan]

Facts, I'm about to wear the weighted ankle braces so I could finally dunk instead of just touching the rim.

[@t-train6534]

The thing about saiyans is is that they heal a lot different than humans every time there body is damaged it comes back 2x better if a human hurts a joint it’s hard to come back from

[@scottrobinson8590]

increasing your vertical leap by 4 inches and a second off a 40 time if that was the distance is pretty significant actually. You also wouldn't expect your endurance (how many pushups you can do to be effected as much) as how much weight you could push.

[@seanpeery7780]

Super Nerd Sean (Pee-ry) here with some show semantics and terrible consiquences of being a human doing Sayan training: For Sayans, they have an exception to their anatomy that makes it so no human should EVER train like they do. When a Sayan gets injured, and recovers from that injury, they become more powerful. The worse the injury the stronger they become. This means that after a certain point, when they can survive punches to the face, it becomes more effective for Sayans to just thoroughly damage themselves rather than doing classic strength training. This, oddly enough, lines up really well with Gokus training regiments. He does so many things so wrong that it is impossible for him to not be getting constant back injuries and fractures. In the episode where he tosses the densest material in the universe, he has his legs spread super far apart instead of shoulder width, which would put undo strain on the groin. Through observing Gokus actions in the show, it becomes clear that he has unintentionally trained his body to use the most inefficient methods of doing things (in everything but fighting) because of this trait. He lifts with his back, uses jerking motions when pulling or lifting, he off-centers weight and even when he stretches he yanks around his joints before he exercises instead of doing proper stretching techniques which should be slow and after a workout. It is so bad for the body that it appears to be that he is deliberately trying to damage himself in everything he does. I wanted to go over the episode where Goku get 8 tons suddenly added to each limb (of which he is currently hold 2 tons on each), when he starts to use the 10 ton weights. And since Japan uses the metric system that means this is 8,000kg on a planet with 10Gs so 784kN of force on each limb. Random internet sources can't agree on what the force needed to rip off an arm is and 2 hours isn't enough time to dig that question without some kind of lead or ending on a biased/non-scientific result, so we'll just go with the highest guess which was 200kN. 784/200 = 3.92 times the force required to rip off a normal persons arms and legs. (probably) Ya, if Goku were a human this sudden addition of weight would have torn every single limb from his body (if he remained floating), strength be damned when sudden unexpected weight drops at the rate of 10 times Earths gravity. Some sources I ran across estimated that it takes less than a kilo-newton of impact force to dislocate a shoulder, so please, don't try to be a Sayan people. So please, stick to One Punch Man workouts if you want to be a super hero; even then be cautious not to over extend yourself on the full regiment if you haven't done appropriate conditioning before hand.

[@Zelenal]

The zenkai boost only happens if they recover from a /near death/ injury. Just recovering from an injury does nothing.

[@Zelenal]

The zenkai boost has never been retconned (aside from being retconned in during the Namek Saga) and was always adhered to. It only ever happened whenever a character nearly died and then was healed. Vegeta nearly dying to Zarbon then Recoome then Krillin. Goku to himself numerous times and then Vegeta/Ginyu. Gohan to Recoome and then Freeza. Cell to himself (that's why the whole Super Perfect thing happened). It's always worked that way.

Goku is not 5 or ten times stronger compared to Captain America. He is few quadrillions times stronger than him.

[@stefanpickel6012]

It's actually a bit harder to compare a DBZ character with Cap, as I don't think we have any real data on how much of their physical abilities are actually passive buffs by their Ki (using game terms here because I think it's the fastest way to put that into words).

[@zenic12345]

you also can't forget base from compared to any other from im gonna get hate but when u go ss its 2.5x or 10x the amount so yeah. just on a base form he more powerful, but caps hella strong. if he got mad enough and put his emotions into it witch was seen in the 2nd movie you can see he literately does what blonde android does and destroyed a punching bag/strength machine, and im telling you a punching bag has alooooooot of force to put into it. when u consider material and size of the bag.

Lmao, Cap America is about the lowest tier of "superheroes"

5:30 what he is talking about? A 4 inch increase in a jump is great. Same with pushups and a 1 second decrease in a sprint?!? Imagine running a 3:70 40yr dash rather than a 4:70

[@tracyblanchard7663]

Keep in mind that this was with training over those same few weeks. The vest wasn't the only variable in play.

[@echavez1541]

3.7 40 yd dash is impossible for a human my guy. 5.7 - 4.7 is more realistic.

echavez1541 lol have you seen an nfl combine?

[@echavez1541]

8figures8 Tell me who has ran a 3.7 in the 40 yd dash? WHO?!

[@GravisTKD]

It depends on the particulars of the study (standard deviations, for instance, how experienced the participants were prior to the beginning of the study, whether weighted garments were compared to normal exercise without the garments, etc.

The rule of DBZ is that unless a character can keep up with Goku and Vegeta, he/she becomes irrelevant to the story.

[@4x3lWh1t3]

There's only a reasons (Sayan's science a part) why that kind of training work on Goku and fellas: they got senzu beans, that help them to recover from ANY kind of injuries, so even the overtrain can't damage any part of their body, letting muscle improve over and over again...pratically if anyone could istant recover his stamina and physical form in less than a second, everyone could train exactly in the same way

[@steliosvryonis7373]

Actually, wearing wrist and ankle weights could possibly have some benefits, but only if they were EXTREMELY light. Remember that although Goku wore 20 kg boots, at that time he could lift well over 2 tons, which makes each boot less than 1% of the maximum load on his body. Hence, an average martial artist that could deadlift 100 kg would wear ankle weights of less than a kilo. To a trained person with strengthened bones and ligaments, such a minor weight wouldn’t cause any strain if used carefully, but would make their kicks slower, just like in DBZ.

[@troper3604]

yea 250 pounds of weighted clothes

[@BrianRJimenez]

I shadow box with 2.5 lb each hand im 6 foot tall 185 lb used to lift a while back got back to it January currently I can curl 145 lb with barbell , front squat 240, bench around 250 (haven't been able to bench no spotter issues) lifts are just for perspective but you think I should shadowbox with 2.5lb wrist weights

[@Seldion_Ghost]

very good point.

[@steliosvryonis7373]

Ace 2,5 pound weights are probably suitable for you, just start slow and progress from there. I’m kinda surprised you can bench more than you squat. You may want to do some more leg work. Very impressive lifts, though

[@chriwehl7173]

Though I'd highly recommendable to do extra exercise that trains your joints to adapt to the weights. And start with less on those for rapid movement. Because rapid movement like that are probably something that most body builders muscles aren't used to. More of a martial art thing. Overstretched muscles are no fun. Maybe 1 lb
