How it works
Built different.
Trains different.
Turning “static weight” into “responsive resistance.” The ProPulse® Power Vest enables your brain, nervous system, and musculature to receive force, organize it, and express it powerfully and efficiently, without excess load or undue stress on your joints.
Bodyweight
The ProPulse® Power Vest uses spring-loaded cartridges to enhance your body’s natural movements, creating a plyometric effect bodyweight can’t achieve alone.
Standard Weight Vest
Standard weighted vests use static or “dead weight,” which deadens ground-force time, hinders neuromuscular communication, and places undue stress on joints.
Who's it for
Uses & Applications
Athletes
Explosive power for competitive performance
The New Standard of Fast and Powerful
Trains the body to handle higher forces at higher speeds that are otherwise unattainable.
- Unlocks a stimulus in the Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC) that plyometrics or bodyweight cannot achieve on their own
- Changes dead weight into reactive resistance to improve speed, strength, coordination, and neuromuscular connectivity on day one
Fitness Enthusiasts
Elevate any workout with dynamic resistance
A Force Multiplier
The ProPulse® Power Vest signifies a paradigm shift in human performance, replacing “dead weight” with “responsive resistance” to add an extra element to your training to help you push past plateaus.
- Acts as a force multiplier for greater strength, speed, and conditioning
- Reduces joint impact while increasing power beyond what bodyweight or resistance training can produce alone
- Multipurpose across a variety of exercises: bodyweight training, weight training, plyometrics, and running/sprints
Active Aging
Low-impact progressive overload for longevity
Built to Fight Back
We created the ProPulse® Power Vest not just to manage the losses associated with aging, but to fight back by building a stronger, more resilient, and balanced body, regardless of age or ability.
- Uses plyometric return to fight age-related deterioration without undue stress on joints or overburden on the body
- Build strength, cardiovascular health, bone density, neuromuscular connectivity, and connective tissue without exacerbating injury
- Lets your body receive force, organize it, and redistribute it powerfully and efficiently
Perimenopause
Bone density & muscle preservation
A Strong, Resilient Body
We created the ProPulse® Power Vest not just to manage the physical changes of perimenopause and menopause, but to fight back by building a strong, resilient, and balanced body.
- Produces a plyometric effect in every step, a key factor in fighting deterioration caused by perimenopause or menopause
- Develops a body that is strong, coordinated, resilient, and neurologically sound
- Works with your body, not against it by receiving force safely and efficiently, without burden on joints

Testimonials
Beau Chavez
Our Elite and ExecutivZ athletes use the Vest during high incline holds on our Ztreadz. At low incline high speeds with no vest we see an immediate 1-2mph increase from current PR’s.
Xiamara Young
I feel more power with it on, and I love the feeling when I take it off. I’m like a grasshopper!
Bryce Ferman
I just ran my lifetime “Fly 10” sprint PR. I was faster WITH the Vest, and when I took it off, I ran my fastest time ever.
Delontay Williams
It feels like I’m running on air. The Power Vest made me faster, and speed kills.

I really like this vest. I just wish it were a little bit quieter. Maybe adding some foam to the bottom could reduce the noise.
The vest is great and David Weck is an awesome guy.
Getting my balance back , a day at a time
Must try to truly understand. Love it!!
I love the pulse vest. I am an middle aged man and I believe it is helping my fitness, flexibility and dynamic movement.
Absolutely love it! Hill Sprints, Plyometrics, etc… even wearing during the workday to stay motivated with movement. Bought the Active vest and love it. My 13 yr old son and athlete loves it as well. Want to try the other vest as well. If you are on the fence… get it. Worth it 100%. Puts a new spin on everything. Using ProPulse vest and 120# GORUCK sand ball in this workout. Get it!
The dynamic weck vest is now a staple of all of sprint and change of direction work
Seeing great results very quickly with athletes of all different experience levels and I feel it’s helping the athletes learn how to perform different movements more efficiently by being able to feel and hear the weights in the vest
Great!
This is great product ! The whole concept is a trip. I tell everyone its my reactive weighted vest. It does make walking, rnning and warm-up much more exciting. I do pair them with other accessories like the propulsers by Mr. Weck lol. I recommend this for everyone its not a bad thing to have in your arsenal of training supplies. Thank you Mr. Weck for bring something like this to the physcial realm. Another great invention !!
The vest fits amazing and really well designed. Our kids say they feel bouncier after using it as well. I are just starting to use more often.
The vest is awesome. VERY well made and very comfortable to wear. When the weights hit you on the reversal of movement you can definitely feel it. It creates a great contrast effect. Highly recommended
Great product. I have the active one as well. It has been a useful tool for sprint and football drills for both my son and I.
Great vest for weighted jogs
Potential game changer for body awareness and muscle impulse control.
This is what the future of training is leading to innovations like Mr. Weck and his team are doing. I consider this a reactive weighted vest when the springs are engaged because you have the option to un-engage them. You can feel something is going on/happening, but time and will tell. But I recommend it because it is a different piece of equipment and it does make walking/jogging/running/training/exercising much more interesting. Thank you, David, for another creation!
couldn't realize the impact and mechanics of the vest til I was able to utilize it. after the first day I could already feel the difference. only a week or so into using it but I look forward to it to learn more about the vest and my body itself.
Have used it to help my son with speed and also my football players. They run faster flying 10’s with it on then off.
This thing is fucking amazing. I wanna go run and jump more than I ever have. Thanks for the wisdom WECK crew
Only used it a few times and I'm noticing how my body organizes ground reaction forces. Incredible training tool.
Love how the insert coils absorb the shock on the joints, making for less impact damage while adding the weight.
Added to all exercises and movements to increase reaction rate when applying to athletic movements as a coach and jiu jitsu practitioner. 49 year old male. Recovering from recent shoulder and bicep attachment surgery.
Love the vest. Some tips for best practices would have been helpful

Definitely better than a static weight vest.

Honestly I haven’t used it enough to give it a thorough review. I’ve been doing the RMT club a lot lately because it’s been helping me rehab a shoulder issue. That’s why I recently bought 2 more. I do wish you guys would consider making a quiet version of the pro pulse speed trainers so I can run with them on the treadmill at the gym. They are too loud. Even my wife didn’t want to hear them in the house. Think about it. Your sales would explode because everyone would see them at the gym and wonder what they are which would lead to them discovering David Weck and all the other great things he offers.
Great vest
I Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been using David Weck’s ProPulse Power Vest with myself and several clients, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite tools for developing explosive jumping ability while reducing fear and discomfort. The spring-loaded cartridges provide responsive energy return that stimulates a more powerful, bouncy triple extension instead of just adding dead weight. Clients who used to hesitate on jumps and depth drops are now attacking them with greater confidence and less joint pounding. My own jumps feel springier and higher with noticeably faster recovery, and the vest keeps the session in that sweet spot of acceptable discomfort rather than painful overload. It’s a smart, body-friendly way to rebuild trust in the ground and reclaim that youthful fly. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to train plyometrics more effectively and safely."— Jesse Macedo Sr. BS Kinesiology, CSCS | MoveSmart by Jesse Macedo | @keepmoving741
A must have for training!
I am enjoying my vest on walks and some strength training! Thank you!
Best movement tool I've tried so far.
I'm sprinting with a Weck Method Power Vest to train: • Reactive elasticity • Rotational power • Ribcage-pelvis connection • Ground force production • True athletic resilience The added load isn't about making it harder. It's about teaching the body to organize under speed. When you add strategic load to sprinting: -You increase force production -You challenge posture under fatigue -You build real-world athleticism -You train the nervous system - not just your lungs Most people use treadmills to "burn calories." I use them to build capacity. Speed is a skill. Power is a skill. Resilience is a skill. And skills must be trained with intention.
Velcro, straps, etc are all top quality. Fits well and is comfortable for running/skips/plyos etc. Love it as a primer, walk with it before running. Helps level up your bounciness and elasticity. My wife put it on, started giggling and said woah it feels like there are barrels full of jumping monkeys in here.
Very high quality build! Awesome fit and comfortable!
I'm happy with the vest. So far I'm just walking about a mile with it, 3 x a week. I'm 73 years old and my body is adjusting to the extra 10 lbs. I put in the vest I feel the vest is working muscle groups I haven't had access to in a while. Overall, I feel stronger and wearing the vest to walk improves my posture.
Love the ProPulse Power Vest * Great impulse from the spring loaded cartridges. * It is intuitive to use and the audio and tactile feedback make it self teaching * Unlike most weight vests it is comfortable wear for longer sessions. It is loud. I wore it when jumping around on rocks at a local park and every dog there was very interested in what I was doing. I tried it with the handheld ProPulse Speed Trainers and it worked but felt a bit weird as the impulse is noticeably different. I would love to see WeckMethod come out with some new handheld speed trainers that incorporate the spring loaded mechanism of the vest cartridges with the grip of the current speed trainers.
Awesome vest! Very well made and keeps you motivated to work out!!
