Un ingénieur du MIT réinvente le gilet lesté
MIT Enginer Re-invents the Weight Vest
C’en était trop... il savait qu’il fallait faire quelque chose.
Remy just signed up for a gym membership was excited when he found a weight vest at this local gym. Unlike barbells and dumbbells, weight vests are basically never to be seen at gyms. So rare that in his 5 years of calisthenics training he never used one before.
Cependant, il s’est vite rendu compte que ce gilet lesté était horrible à utiliser. Le velcro qui le maintenait fermé ne fonctionnait plus. De plus, la moitié des poches qui contenaient les sacs de sable étaient cassées et il manquait de nombreux sacs.
At this point the weight vest resembled a weighted blanket. Just a few sandbags dangling off of his shoulders.
In addition there was no way to know the weight of the weight vest since the sandbags are arbitary.
Weightvest have always been lacking. In calisthenics, push-ups are one on the most basic and primary exercises. However they have been replaced with dips because bodyweight pushups are too easy and weight vest are very hard to access.
After searching online for days he couldn't find a single well-designed vest. The truth is weight vests haven’t been improved since the 1980. This was when the iron block weight vests were invented and ever since this was the best option that existed.
It was the last straw.. he knew there was something to be done. He knew there was room for improvement.
À ce stade, le gilet lesté ressemblait à une couverture lestée.
Remy s’est donc mis à réfléchir et a décidé de concevoir son propre gilet en partant de zéro. Il pratiquait la callisthénie depuis plus de 5 ans et connaissait tous les défauts du gilet lesté traditionnel. Il voulait tous les éliminer.
Remy who has two engineering degrees from MIT and was also an All-American Swimmer started calisthenics after he became a digital nomad and realized calisthenics allowed him to stay in shape while traveling.
After several months and hundreds of designs via rapid prototyping thanks to new 3-D printing technology, he came out with the final design that had perfect functionality and dimensions to fit the human body.
Remy wasn't originally planning on sell his design to the public. It was just for personal use. However after many of his friends asked for the vest as well as the people coming up to him at the gym on a daily basis asking where they can buy the vest. He decided to make it public.
Introducing the EZ-VEST
Unlike previous vests that use arbitrary and customize weight blocks, the re-invented vest utilizes weight plates that already exists at the gym. This means the weight vest is portable! In addition, it is much better for the environment since there is no need to create customized weights.
He also wanted the vest to be made of premium materials. The padding shell is made of Ballistic nylon the strongest fabric in existence on the market, and the lining is made of machine-washable leather unlike traditional vests that just use polyester which fray over time. In addition, the straps are made of 100% cotton for optimum breathability and the metal plate is made of Aircraft grade aluminum.
Les sangles à velcro de la poitrine sont à double réglage afin de s’adapter à une gamme deux fois plus large de tours de poitrine, des gymnastes qui pèsent traditionnellement moins de 100 lb aux culturistes de niveau Olympia qui pèsent près de 250 lb.
Enfin, contrairement à la plupart des gilets qui couvrent tout le torse et limitent considérablement l’amplitude des mouvements, Remy a conçu ce gilet pour ne couvrir que la poitrine, afin de faciliter la respiration et les mouvements.
La doublure est en cuir lavable en machine, contrairement aux gilets traditionnels qui utilisent simplement du polyester.
Quelqu’un vient vraiment d’acheter 6 gilets ?
The new vest was a hit from day one. Within a month, there were customers from all over the world that included Olympians, IFBB Pro athletes, College football coaches, MLB and NFL athletes, NBA coaches and many more. There was even an NHL coach that bought six vests. As of the time of this writing there are over 300 5-star reviews for this vest!
Ce gilet, c’est TOUT ! Il vaut son pesant d’or ! Je le recommande vivement. Merci pour ce défi fitness supplémentaire.
