Question I posted in the forum:
Hi there, before I start, please ignore the negative about Jumpsole, I happen to got a pair cheap and used it as part of my vertical training journey.
I was not in shape, being out of the gym for near 3 month, taking care of my new born. BW at new height at 198lbs, and Bodyfat near 20%. I had completely lost my touch but decided to come back. So I dig out the jumpsole and started training with it.
For the pass 8 Weeks, I had been doing the follow each week.
2 X plyometric Jumpsole (60min 48 hours apart & never after a Squat day).
2 X upperbody circuit training (30-40min)
1 x Heavy squat session (40min)
1 x semi endurance basketball training (120min).
In terms of raw relative strength, I am back at 1.81BW squat. And after 8 week of plyometric, doing skipping, bounding, rim jump, depth jump, stepup jump, lounge jump etc. I feel like I am transforming a little.
However, Body fat ratio is still no good, I can see fatty tummy hanging belly. Anyway. I will continue to train. But I had read that at the end of each routine, one should DELOAD.. or have a Active Rest week... and test vertical after a week.
Could some one tell me more about deloading? Further more, I am going to continue to train and hope to reach my goal to dunk in NOV.
Should I start doing Jumpsole again with a weight vest on, and continue to Squat once a week? or should i change things up, may be try to do VJB for a few month and see how things go? what do u guys think?
Dunk on Baby Birthday! Will not Give up!
