MIT Engineer Re-invents the Weightvest
MIT Enginer Re-invents the Weight Vest
Dat was de druppel… hij wist dat er iets moest gebeuren.
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.
Maar hij merkte al snel dat dit gewichtsvest vreselijk was in gebruik. Het klittenband dat het vest vastzette, werkte niet meer. Bovendien was de helft van de zakjes voor de zandgewichten kapot en ontbraken er veel gewichten.
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.
Op dat moment leek het gewichtsvest op een verzwaringsdeken.
Dus begon Remy ideeën te verzamelen en besloot hij zijn eigen vest vanaf nul te ontwerpen. Hij deed al meer dan 5 jaar aan calisthenics , kende elk nadeel van het traditionele gewichtsvest en wilde ze allemaal wegnemen.
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.
De borstbanden met klittenband zijn DUBBEL verstelbaar voor een twee keer zo groot bereik aan borstomvangen: van turnsters die doorgaans minder dan 100 lbs wegen tot bodybuilders op Olympia-niveau die dichter bij 250 lbs wegen.
Tot slot bedekken de meeste vesten de hele romp, waardoor ze de bewegingsvrijheid sterk beperken. Remy ontwierp het vest zo dat het alleen de borst bedekt, zodat je gemakkelijker kunt ademen en bewegen.
De voering is van machinewasbaar leer, anders dan bij traditionele vesten die alleen polyester gebruiken.
Heeft iemand echt net 6 vesten gekocht?
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!
Dit vest is ALLES! Zijn gewicht in goud waard! Ik raad het van harte aan. Bedankt voor de extra fitnessuitdaging
