I went through physical therapy for a leg contusion + hematoma, and part of the rehab was ankle weights. I was curious about their use for normal activities, like running, and obviously skating. I was told that you should never use ankle weights for anything except rehab, or stationary movement. Using them otherwise can put unnecessary strain on ligaments and muscles in your legs, and lead to tears, pulling certain extremities and so on. So I advise against using them except for stationary movement. Having resistance for skating is best used with pulling a tire around, a small parachute for wind resistance (Mike Modano uses this I believe), or if you have one, a bungee cord or a harness to strap to your chest or waist area. My very large $0.02.

If you know the right people you can. ;)

If he's using that weight for resistance, he'd be better off with a parachute.

I am loving those skates. I don't normally like white on any boot, but those are damn sexy. By the way...nice pillow you've got there in the third picture...

Where I worked, we only charged $20. SRS is an awesome fix for sticks. Having done it a fair amount of times for customers, as well as my own sticks, I can say that'd be your best bet.

Alright, here's my stuff. -Bauer 5000 Bucket with Jofa 480 cage. -RBK 3K elbows. -Fury/Mission/Easton gloves. -Koho shoulders. -Tackla 9000 pants. -Easton Synergy 300 shins. -Easton S15 skates. -Four AK27 + Christian blades twigs. Pics: The complete set. My three sets of gloves. My S15's. Mounted the towers myself. :) A better look at my shoulder pads. I love these so much. I've got 4 of the same stick, so one should suffice. Besides, the other three are at the rink. AK27 + Custom Christian blade and pattern. Better view of the pattern. Got Modano's pro pattern cloned for myself. :)
