Haché wears the XVest in preparation for firefighter combat
challenge skill-specific training. As Ron stated, "The
XVest was an indispensable part of my combat training a
tool that helped me to win the 2005 Canadian Nationals. It is
too time consuming, cumbersome and uncomfortable to always wear
full gear when practice training, yet in order to be specific
to the tasks I needed to feel the weight on my body. The XVest
was perfect, in that I could load it up to 84-pounds, yet its
compact and sleek design did not encumber my natural movement." |
How the Xvest Works
The basic premise of the Xvest™
is very simple: training or exercising the body at a heavier
weight than it is accustomed. With specific exercises or
very broad conditioning exercises, you will find that your conditioning
level will improve and your strength, power, and quickness will
also improve. This is accomplished by "tricking"
your body, brain and your muscles to believe that you have gained
this extra weight but in actuality, you have not. When
the Xvest™ is removed, your body will function
and react as if the weight is still there; therefore, you have
tricked your mind and muscles and will be capable of producing
power, speed, quickness and endurance at levels that you might
have never obtained.
The two-piece clamshell design of the Xvest™
is a feature based upon Orthopedic back braces that aid in the
proper spinal alignment and support, which is non-existent in
our competitors weight vests and is one of many features that
makes the Xvest™ superior to the rest.
We have taken two pieces and brought them together through shoulder
strapping and lateral straps, which allows customizing the fit
to your body and torso and proper placement of the weights, resulting
in optimal center of gravity without restricting any type of
range of motion. Only with proper alignment and fit can you attain
a safe and effective workout that delivers results.
Used by Ron Hache, 2005 Canadian Nationals
Firefighter Combat Challenge winner in his sport-specific training
(to mimic the weight of full firefighter gear and hose). Also
ideal for dips, chins, or adding extra weight for squats, deadlifts,
and lunges (thus reducing the strain on the spine by reducing
weight on the bar). The full-sized XVest can be loaded up
to 84-pounds!
