Question and an introduction

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with weighted clothing. I know that the weighted ankle and leg weights you can buy work, but they have a new product out, a weighted vest. My first thought on seeing this was that it would probobly screw up your back and shoulders. Any thoughts??
BTW, As you can see this is my first post on your board I live in Washington and practice a mismash of arts. It is nice to meet you, and if you have any questions about me I would be glad to answer.
Later

“You can’t see it if you blind but we will always prevail (true)/Life is like the open sea, the truth is the wind in our sail/And in the end, our names is on the lips of dying men/If ever crushed in the earth, we always rise again/When the words of lying men sound lush like the sound of a violin/The truth is there, it’s just the heart you gotta find it in” - Talib Kweli
