extra weight on the ankles would improve how agile your feet are and I don't see how it would harm joints. weight on the shoulders would primary go through the back/spine which is already where lots of people have joint pain
I used to have to carry a 50 lb pack on road marches when I was in the Army. My legs, shoulders, and back got ripped. Ten pound weights on my feet would just make me more clumsy.
Just because it looks lesspainful to have less weight but on your ankles. You're wrong, your ankles are a vulnerable part of your body and is very easy to hurt. On your shoulders and back logically the human body can carry that weight easier because we have done it since forever. Backpqcks with huge text books, slavery in ancient times, and much more.

Epic Calf Muscles!

Yeah, your legs would bulk up quick, which is way better than going through life with the nickname "Quasimodo." (Somewhat modo?)

I could really kick some ass with that extra weight.

the extra weight on your ankles would damage your joints. the weight on the shoulders would increase your strength over time.

At least the feet weights wouldn't bother you while you're sitting.
gregg
hmm strong legs or overall strength? easy answer
Abby
You'd get used to it quick and have awesome legs.
TheSefferson
overall /equally spread out strength and the weight doesnt have to be visable
Isabelle
better posture
Joshua Guss
Imagine getting kicked in the face with that

I would get fit, with 40 pounds on my shoulders I would have pain in back!
