It was a moist leg day with the raptor weight vest.squat pyramid on a football field. 1-20 squats pyramid with 100m sets in between. Then it’s leg day complete with lunges, dead lift, swim with fins. #legday #weightvest @raptor_weight_vests .

Anyone who's done Murph will know exactly how @alex.bainbridge and I are feeling in this photo. Absolute MOOD that 😂 Specifically asked the guy for no chin pics but here we are, they're out in force again 🙄 dead bonnie. This was wod 4 of the day at the Collingwood Throwdown. We were bloody scunnered by this point, but thankfully we were to split the reps as partners... in dem @raptor_weight_vests @crossfitprovidien1782 representin ✌️ #CrossFit #Murph #HeroWod #RaptorVest #Run #PullUps #PushUps #AirSquats #PartnerWod #SameSexPartners #Competition #SpaghettiAndMeatball #TallSlimBlonde #ChubbyWeeGinger

Nice Repost from @davidsadkin Weighted vest zone runs!! We often utilise towing or pushing movements to aid with acceleration (which is awesome) but sometimes forget about tools 🛠 that can help with upright sprinting 🏃‍♂️
Here we set up a zone in which the athlete builds up to a requested % and maintains that % throughout a desired distance ⏱. 💡 for me I want to see an exaggerated frequency (spinning your legs 🦵🏻), slightly shorter than normal gait, frontside mechanics, parallel shin (figure 4), and attack the ground from above 🔨 😡
🚫collapse and spend to long on the floor (keep the vest light), over rotate and allow legs to swing out behind you, slow down or overstride. 🔑 Why use a weighted vest? Well as we know ground contact time is a pivotal kinematic of upright sprinting (amongst a whole array of other spatiotemporal variables 🧪) so by creating an additional load on top of 🌍 gravity, it will force the athlete to create greater vertical force (yes will spend slightly longer on the ground) but when contrasted with body weight it can give a euphoric feeling of lightness, frequency (turnover) and subsequently decrease contact times 📉
