He started in 2019 with a drawing on paper, inspired by his own frustration with the weight vests that already existed.\nWhat followed were years of prototypes, trips to Pakistan, collaboration with a London agency, and eventually a production run that was ready just in time for FIBO 2025.\nThe conversation is about how a weight vest works as a training tool, why walking speed and bone density are more connected than most people think, and what goes into a seemingly simple piece of sports equipment when you want to do it properly.\nWhat you’ll learn in this episode\n➤ Why a weight vest that fits tightly around the body functions fundamentally differently from classic versions that move around while walking  \n➤ How progressive overload with weight vests increases bone density and why the military has been applying this for years  \n➤ What zone 2 training has to do with walking with extra weight and how that contributes to marathon prep  \n➤ How you can use a weight vest for weight loss as a protocol that aligns with the weight someone is already carrying  \n➤ What it practically takes to build a sports product: from 3D-printed corners to stitching that has to withstand force\nThis is not a theoretical conversation. This is a conversation with someone who uses, runs, and builds the product themselves.\nOur NEW book reveals The 1% Operating System – a practical approach to peak physical and mental health.\n👉 Sign up here: https://nextlevelhuman.nl/pages/boek-earlybird\nConversation between: Demian Beenakker, Djack Littel & Fabian Lutz\nFOLLOW us on:  \n➤ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelhuman.nl  \nWANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT NEXT LEVEL HUMAN?  \n➤ Website – https://nextlevelhuman.nl","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dPAB-Z3R8WwmDiDPcpEkkASKXVspj1Lq7KM20NYhnAU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZWNj/NWY1NGZhMmFiNjUw/YTlhMzdkNjJmODVk/MmVjMi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
