Looking for body weights (ankle, wrist, chest) but can't seem to find any that aren't hugely bulky. Can anyone recommend some decent sets that aren't huge?

That's what I was getting at, but it depends on what he's using them for. I use leg weights to add resistance for my handbalancing. That's about it. Any kind of dynamic motions or exercises with these, especially wearing them on the ankles or wrists, does cause more problems than benefits.

Generally, adding weight in the manner that most people use these things does more damage to joints than any benefit it does for muscle. Like running with ankle weights would be colossally stupid. I guess if you were doing tai chi or something it wouldn't be that bad.
