In my personal aspirations of becoming a professional baseball player, I Carlo Francisco make sure I incorporate weighted vests to be a part of my training regime because I personally felt a difference physically. Enduring 10 to 50 pounds through a vest while I train for twenty minutes to an hour also challenges an individual mentally. I believe in weighted products in general because I personally can say it played a great part in my game during my college season. I lead the league in Home Runs (6) and batting average (.360). Mid-Season I lead the league in batting average and was in pace of joining top 100 highest batting averages in the country at (.415). Weighted clothing can play a role in athletic performance and without the burden of Velcro, Sand, or Iron weight, I feel our designer weighted clothing can be the difference in having a relentless edge in personal gains and consistently having game excellence.

Goku was 250 pounds lighter and it showed a noticeable amount of an advantage throughout the last half of the fight.
