Weights on ankles

[formula22]

Does it benefit to wear ankle weights when i work out? Will this build leg strength ?

i wouldn't wear them even if you were training for endurance. completely unnecessary

all I know is if it the purpose is for sports. any real muay thai instructor (I mean knows/teaches the the competitive martial art & not just using muay thai style kickboxing as a gym cardio workout) will tell you never use weights in hands or bands for punching. it is actually counterproductive to refining your technique. but you go to a gym where muay thai is just the basis for a general workout for people bored with or by other aerobics, they have you doing all that.

All things being equal no one becomes a world champ in any sport I can think off using ankle weights. For rehab maybe.

I don't see them providing any benefit in movements like squats.

If you are doing running and stuff like that yes, to a certain degree.

I dont believe they are that important.
