Weighted Vest

is it good to wear a weighted vest when working out?

im 16 years old and im a guy, i just bought a 20 pound weighted vest. im going to use it for running and working out. my friend told me that a weighted vest will make you shrink, is that true? and is a weighted vest even good to use? Also What is a weighted vest good for?

thanks.

it could help to stunt your growth as a 16 year old. however, you will find if very difficult to run with 20 pounds for very long to start out with.

i recommend starting with 8 pounds, then 12, 16 and finally 20.

i used to run while carrying a gallon of water for resistance because carrying backpacks was always uncomfortable
