Yes weight training doe's help with carrying the weight of a tactical vest, but after time your body just gets use to wearing it. I know when I start up work I notice the weight but after a week or so it is not even a factor. The real 1st Sgt from Band of Brothers came out to our Range for a demo and we asked what was the most difficult part of combat he said " The physical exhaustion part of it" He said after D-Day when they were back in England 10 to 15 mile runs and ruck's were common and no one bitched about it after being in Combat like they did before D-Day.
