Omorpho Apparel Is Working to Change the Way You Train

I’m midway through a 200-meter run and flying on my manual treadmill, picking up speed and picking up stride. And the best part: I’m doing it all while a few pounds heavier than usual.
No, that’s not because I’m wearing some bulky weighted vest. It’s because I’m running in the G-Tight and the G-Top Short Sleeve Shirt from Omorpho, a new company that’s changing the game when it comes to weighted training apparel. And because of this new apparel, this interval workout is challenging my body in subtly new ways, pushing me to maintain my sprint technique while I’m four pounds heavier than usual.
Now, understand this: Four pounds is not a lot of weight. And it’s definitely not nearly as much as, say, your average 20-pound weighted vest. But the four pounds Omorpho’s apparel provides are in strategic places, evenly distributed across my shoulders, torso, thighs and calves. Essentially, I’m sprinting as an ever-so-slightly heavier human, and that’s key for workouts like this. Add too much load to a workout that’s meant to train speed and explosion, and you cease to train the explosion you’re chasing—in part because your body simply can’t move as fast as you want to push it to move.
