Any recommendations for a 40 pound weight vest or any features I should look for? I am looking to possibly spar (standing judo throws mostly) with it, in addition to running with it. Also don't want rod shaped weights. Thanks!
I don't have a recommendation, but running with a weight vest is a joint killer. Have you considered running with a parachute (if sprinting) or running uphill (if distance). I would not want to spar with someone who was wearing that thing, because it would be bad for me if a slam into you or you fall on me when you throw.
