How to Become a Super Saiya

Today I finally bought an ankle weight. The ankle weight is just 0.5kg per piece. I don't think when I'm running 5k or 3k I can put up with a bigger weight than that plus I don't want to put unnecessary pressure to my ankle.

One of thing that noticed is how easy for me to get my hand on that thing. Even the price surprised me. For the one pair that I bought at Tesco it is just RM11.90. When I'm still in secondary school, this thing was very expensive and elusive to find. Even the cheapest is about RM50.00. And when you're just 17, that price seems like times 1000 more.

There was a manga which is very popular during that time - Dragon Ball. Even present time, the manga is still popular with the kids. The main protagonist, Goku wears weighted clothing to train & increase his strength.



"Weighted clothes are used by several warriors throughout the series. Goku uses weights at the end of Dragon Ball in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament and during the battle with Raditz. The weaker Z Fighters use weights to train for the arrival of the Saiyans at Kami's Lookout. Finally, Pikkon demonstrated his use of weights, during the Otherworld Tournament, against Goku. 

Weighted clothes typically suppress 20-25% of a warrior's full power while training. The mass of the weights can be increased to gain more power. Weighted clothes generate similar results as gravity training, but are limited by how little they can increase the user's weight in comparison. Weighted clothes are more versatile though, because they can be used to gain immense power on even low-gravity planets."

Because when you're 17, the influence from mangas/comics was strong, there were some of my friends that actually using ankle weight to "train". Every boy at that age hoped to get a body like this:



But the reality was we all actually looked like this:

Still clueless about the future

But maybe this time it will be different for me. Maybe this time with the cheap ankle weight I can achieve what other have failed!!! To become a Super Saiya!!!
