Do both in regards to the weightvest. Just do half rounds in vest and half rounds without. If your work/sport involved any loaded sprinting then it's worth it.It is also fun:).travman wrote:I like Atomic Athlete's strength standards and coaching standards. I want to add a weight vest when I hit 10 hill sprints with no rest, I know it would be more beneficial for me to increase the distance.Maxrip13 wrote: Atomic Athlete is great in that alot of the programming is 3 days a week and allows you to do stuff on the side. The sessions are very similar to Mil athlete just a bit shorter and more focused on GPP. I used the Maximum Overdrive Program for my last Strength Focused basebuild and had some excellent results. I love TB, but I occasionally like to shake things up a bit and Atmic Athlete is my usual programming choice.
The weightvest is a great way to train while travelling or short on time. I stick to the basics like Pushups, Pullups, squats and Lunges, but I have also used mine like a sandbag for rotational core work. Things like short power sprints and longer intervals become even more challenging with the added weight of a vest. I love doing longer intervals in my vest and I picked this up from mil athlete sessions.

I’m glad they cut down on a lot of that random equipment. Half the struggle with following their programming was making sure you would have all the equipment necessary or have a plan to sub in something else which was almost always the case
That gives you the best of both worlds and those first couple sprints without the vet will feel like flying. Think of it as speed training
