Additional weight

Like what would you say about addional weight put on your legs while you shred? Like 1 or 2 kilos for both legs?

Hmm I already had a similar idea but then I gave it up because I don't think that's useful if not even noxious...If you want to build up your muscles you'd rather go to a gym. Also you wouldn't be able to play footbag like you are used to because your legs would be too heavy to get nice dexes...

So I wouldn't recommend you to do that but it's still your choice...I won't do ever try it because I get my legs trained enough without additional weights already

I would say I highly suggest you not do that. Assuming you are talking about weights that are strapped to your ankles. I read somewhere that they are actually bad for your knees... there was an old thread here about not using those things, I just can't seem to find it.

what about straped to calfs? or hips? can that damage my knees or any other part of legs?The point is to train with them and then shred without i believe my legs would move faster

Oh my gracious do not do that!!! There's always that one guy at every martial arts dojo that thinks this is a good idea for lightning fast kicks. The health result is usually stretched tendons/ligaments (yeah they don't go back). And you risk hyperextension constantly.

The form result - I've seen a few guys that try this with very exaggerated motions and inefficient technique. Can you picture barflies with a three-foot radius? It's probably not a good idea. But your head is in the right place. Don't stop being creative.

You stole that idea from nartuo lol. Rock lee wore weights on his hands and wrists so that he could move lighitng fast. SO yeah just dont do it its not a good idea you could hyper extend something ((Thats bad if you didnt know.))
