weighted vests are unironically moronic unless you're endurance training for hiking or the military. Pushups are a very ineffective exercise even just compared to dips and floor press.
>Pushups are a very ineffective exercise
As long as you aren't just doing sets of them in isolation as chest work they're great. You got to do them in complexes.
i do (weighted) dips aswell, i do pushups because my workouts are all just a supplement to my muay thai training, i used to do (mostly compound) lifts but it doesn't compliment it as well as calisthenic movements
Bought a 5.11 vest recently with some rogue plates, so far I have found it very comfortable while doing push ups, chin ups, and pull ups. Makes me feel cool too.

I'd ponder those orbs, if you catch my drift ;P

I would activate my third eye just to ponder all three orbs simultaneously.
Huh? What do you mean?
decline pushups
I got a 40 lbs for calisthenics a few years ago for about 125 American. Maxed it out in 3 months but had no discernable gains from it. I think harder calisthenics movments lose so much from stability and distribution there's little point in weighting them because it just makes strict form harder.
Sounds like it was a you problem not being strong enough to maintain form
How did you add 40lbs to an exercise and make no gains?
I have no idea.
Initially I tried just overloading the basics.
Then when I maxed it out in the 12 reo range I followed all the normal progressions I had done back up and got to where I was unweighted. Then I tried adding more and more sets until I was running into tendonopathies all over and pretty much nothing. I still use it for pullups and one leg squat variations but it's taken a backseat to rings and dbs for the time being been seeing a lot more gains with those than with the vest. I think it has something like an inverse bell curve in it's practicality. Where it's really good for basics and advanced unsupported movments like planche pushups but really bad in the middle intermediate area where you should be pushing skill work.
100 euros for not even 40lbs? just buy lead and stuff it in a backpack.
I have a 30kg vest, it cost me about €50, 8 years ago. I use it atleast once per week.
does your stuff not get weather damaged?

Living the dream. Hope you have a loving wife too.
If you have to ask, you are too poor to afford stupid gimmicks.
If you really want a weighted vest, why not buy some plates and a backpack instead?
>100 euros
I just put some of my plates into a backpack... it's perfect to do pullups and pushups.
