Hi team, I wanted to start training with my PC, burpies, thrusters, ect. Any considerations for ESAPI care? I thought just tossing a trash bag over them to keep them from being exposed to sweat..other than that, anything I should consider?

Plate should already be water resistant.
If you're still worried, wrap with duct tape. Water proof, no extra steps in handling when removing from carrier. |

If anything I would take care not to intentionally fall on them because they can be cracked.

Just an idea. Its what I use rather than my carrier and plates. "Friendlier" in a more public/city setting. Wearing on a Stair Climber, or treadmill at the local gym works great for being more low key. Stones can be removed to reduce weight, or a pack can be included with more weight placed in the pack. No risk of damaging your plates during the rigors of an intense work out. |

Cracking ceramic plates would be my major concern. I have steel plates (primarily for training) and a weight vest for that reason. Weight vest is certainly cheaper.

I too was concerned with plate damage so I have a second carrier set up with some homemade weighted plates. Brings the total weight to 30lbs, I workout (pullups, dips, pushups) and hike with this.
Added benefit is when I throw on my first carrier it feels pretty light, its in the 15ish lbs range. |
