taekwondo leg weights training?

im planning on putting leg weights..its the thing you strap on your legs that provide weight for resistance training..
is it advisable for Taekwondo training...?if so what are its benefits and repercussions?

how long should i have them on?
--im planning to have them on the whole day....if they dont look conspicuous enough to get strares..

I would not recommend training in TaeKwon-Do specific techiques with ankle-weights for the reasons most others have explained. The additional weight can add excessive stress to joints and can cause injury and long term damage.

The best way to improve your speed, strength, or targeting is to simply practice, practice, practice the movement you want to perfect. As your instructor has probably already advised you, it takes 1,000 reps to learn the basics, 10,000 to become competent and 100,000 to master it Welcome to the journey lol

Is Britaxusa.com the only site you can order replacement harness straps?

I asked yesterday about washing them (after I washed them...oops) and after reading some answers decided to do a little internet search...turns out you should never submerge the straps in water? Who knew? It weakens them apparently and says only damp cloth in the manual.

I'll just order the replacement ones in black. Problem solved. Can I order them anywhere else? Shipping at britaxusa.com is $9 just for that one item. Thanks.

remember the user who names was "the UK is better then the USA"... or various versions of that... Britaxusa made me think of her... idk why...

Attaching a Harness Strap to your Binoculars.

Lately in the strength and conditioning world back squats have come under scrutiny because of the risks associated with them. Under heavy loads the lumber spine can be put under huge amounts of compressive force, especially at the bottom of the movement when beginning the concentric (or upward) motion. Also poor mechanics can elicit power leaks or simply wasted energy.

Such poor mechanics are leaning too far forward can put too much stress on the lower back. Even standing too upright can put undue stress on the knee and ankle joint.

There are alternative ways of back squatting that can provide great results:

Pause squatting is a technique where a squatter will pause for anywhere from 1-5 seconds at the bottom of the squat before standing up. This requires more energy to isometrically contract at the bottom, and then overcome the resistance to get out of "the hole", therefore the weight must be reduced. The loss of the stretch-shortening cycle, or the elastic component of the muscle, makes this extremely difficult.

Speed squatting is a technique in which a squatter will lower themselves down slowly and controlled then proceeds to explode out of the bottom, pushing into the bar as hard as they can without jumping. The weight is reduced to allow the movement to be fast.

Split squatting is basically a stationary lunge. The feet are split apart linearly, or one foot in front of your body and one in back, and a squatter will lower themselves until the front and back legs both have 90 degree angles at the knee joint. Being as the back foot is in a mechanically weak position and the front foot is doing more of the work, the weight is lowered.

All of these variations have reduced loads due to their demands, which will reduce the load on the back.
