Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Toe shoes for plyometric anyone ?
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:59:56 pm »
What do u guys about doing plyometric in toe shoes?

i had seen people doing deadlift with toe shoes and also read the some people like to squat barefooted.

the Adiprue trainer (toe shoe) Product video also show a guy jumping on to a box with the toe shoes.

I mean jumping on to higher object have no impact, and it is what Addi show in their video.

Some toe shoes reviewer said they had bad experience with it for plyometric (with other activity, they love the shoes)


What do u guys think? Had any one try doing plyo jump, shock landing, depth jump with toe shoes?

121220 Vertical Jump Mast In Season W2D2 (with Toe shoes)
First time trying to do plyometric in toe shoes, and I feel that shock training on the foot is much more intense (in a good way).
I am landing more on the ball of the feets and the arch of the foot or the calf muscle is being stimulated much more.  Foot and leg felt alright the day after. (lucky lucky) Will continue to test the concept of toe shoes with plyometric ex.  (Some online reviewer says that plyo with Toe shoes is a no no....)

121212 Rest day

So I thought of myself at 180lbs... Deadlifting at 387lbs is pretty good...
Last week, a lifter from Taiwan came for raw lifting competition  ...

Bang, 260kg, 265kg and wrap up the 270 Kg (594lbs) with ease..

121211 Vertical Jump Mast In Season W1D1
I have a league game to night, but bench warmer like me only get like 5-10min game time. So before the game... I do my vertical training..

Here it go:

Deadlift @ 300lb 4x4 (sweating)
travelling Lunge  @ 5x6
Single Leg Hyper  @ 5x3
Paused Squat  @ 135lbs 5x3
Reactive Split Squats @ 75lbs 4x4

8 min of game time, 4 pass to me, all result in turn over...the passes itself is pretty bad, but again I should have spend additional effort to recover a bad pass....

still kind of moody, with the lack of direction/improvement .

121205 Roller Coaster Emotion
I had just finished my interview yesterday.
All Training was on hold as I was preparing on it.

I did not do good....

Pretty crazy month for me to wrap up 2012.
Nov 1st  - While being on holiday, I was notified by phone about a promotion appointment (which i did not apply for)
Nov Mid - I was told that my comprehension amplitude test scored 95 (top in the company)
Nov Mid - Interviewer selected by the board and I was told that I am lucky and high chance of passing
Dec 3rd - I took  leave to prepare for interview, but i return to office for Early Xmas party... and i got lucky and drawn the no1 price (Ipadmin)
Dec 4th - Interview.... ( I was hoping my luck can sustain... and ace the interview.... but end up.. i did not do good...)

It had been raining for almost a weeks. Fine while i was prepping for interview, but now that is is over.. raining mean no more lunch ball or jump.
I am suppose to get back in training right away as of tonight.

However, my mood is so down right now...
ai.... how can I lift myself up and move on.....

PS.  New schedule for basketball Team Game is out.
Dec 7, 10, 13 15, 16, 17  <=  What on earth is the Team captain thinking... applying for so many league....
Also a friend hooked me up with Vertical Jump Master, it output a In season program and Off season program.  I guess Dec is... in season?

When you practice mid range jumpers, you imagine being SHANE BATTIER? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 ;D ;D  i know it is funny...  :trolldance:  haha

121122 Some VJ program testing
One of my friend suggested me to do some test to determine my deficient.
So I spent today to do various test.  (Stuff like, reach, vert test, running 2 foot, running single leg, 1rm squat and deadlift etc...)

I left my record sheet at home so I I guess I will update it tonight.
and as I pretty much know my 1rm for squat. I skipped that test and go directly to Dead-lift.

I had not done DL for over half a year (probably longer) so I gave it a try and.. woo.. I did surprisingly good...
From my Powerlifting experience, i know DL 1rm should be about +10% of squat.

I am not sure if this is my new PR... but seems like it is!  387lbs @180lbs

Why? What stops you from doing a higher volume if there are more people in the gym? If you can do all those singles and triples then obviously you could do a higher volume as well.

Only one Squat rack in my company gym... and people do incline bench press on it... we are suppose to share equipment also.

HI Raptor,

I am trying to do higher volume when ever i got the time and chance. Less people at the gym, early release from work etc.
like 2 session ago, I did 347lbs 4x3 (i suppose it is still Not high enough)


121120 Lunch Jump practice
May be last Friday Ball training session is too tough on me.  I rest thru the weekend, and my leg is still so sore, as a matter of fact, my right ankle is painfully sore inside for some unknown reason. I took the whole Monday off

Back at jumping on Tuesday.  I feel fresher, no improvement in vert. but jump felt better.  I think regardless if my muscle is sore, even if i feel strong, I can not Feel how fresh my CNS is.  The only way to tell if my CNS is fresh... is to jump.   Today Jump feel good... and probably because my CNS is fresher then previous feel bad jump day.  Did alot of Mid range jumper also, I try to imagine myself as Battier when shooting.. lol

Squat Rack is occupied so i start with Calf Raise Machine:
185 x15
227 x15
240 x10

121112 Lunch Jump Patrice
Last week Lunch Jump practice was good.  I had gotten better in running approx;
Starting from 3pts line, Big left step followed by a right long step, and finally plant LR right above the top of the no-charge semicircles. 
Although the max height had not increase by much, but I do feel like I am getting smother.
I attempt to jump in that fashion during last Friday ball training, and I did get similar decent result.

Today Lunch Jump session is not as good, I am not sure what is wrong, may be the weather is a bit chilly, or may be I did not sleep well enough... I just couldn't felt the same hyped up feeling from last week.   :(

Baby birthday/ Dunk Deadline on Nov 10 is now passed. I will just continue to train while preparing for the Exam. :wowthatwasnutswtf:

I am just lifting without much thinking and time... often I don't even check my previous stat...
I just try to lift whatever, and find out if I hit a PR after I post here and compare with my previous stat. 
The 1rm fail attempt is a way to "Squat till you drop" style, from my limited knowledge at least.  :-X

And is not that I don't like to squat Kingfish style (Massive rep/set).  Often i can not occupy the squat rack too long, and I often have to rush home for family... so things got the speed up.  May be I should cut down on the warm up set.

121107 Lunch Jump Patrice
Practice Jump and approach during lunch.  From Raw jump to Banded jump back to raw jump.  Lasted for 40 mins along with some random shooting.

121108 Squat Day
