Strength Shoes Posted: 08-13-07 02:33am
I am currently using strength shoes to
jump higher and become a better basketball
player. I have been using them 3 days a
week for 5 weeks now and it seems like I
am jumping even lower then i did before I
started using them, because of this I work
out twice as much on workout days as the
manual says but still no results. I am
kind of worried because after all of my
hard work I might not get any results.
Someone told me that I might see the
results a couple of weeks after I am done
using them, does anyone know if this is
true? Did anyone ever use them and seen
results? Does anyone know if they actually
work? PLEASE HELP ME!

I'm not sure if the strength shoes are
really that effective. I hate to say
this, but the strength shoe makers might
have based their claims on the most
efficient users to date, not the average
user of strength shoes. Keep trying it
and see if actual results show up. Also
watch out for injuries that may arise from
using strength shoes.

Your body is accustomed to doing things a
certain way. When you use weighted
devices like balls, probably shoes too,
your body has to re-learn and
re-coordinate itself in tune with this new
weight. When u take the weight away(for
the game) your body is way of target and
not used to the ease anymore. Many times
people that use weighted balls and such
end up doing worse as well.

Well will I ever start to see results?

Im not an expert so I cant guarantee
anything. Also, i have never used shoes
so I don't know for sure if they do help
or not.
The only real thing that will make you
better is practice practice practice....
Practice how u would play during the game,
normal weight ball and shoes.... that way
u improve ur skills that are more relevant
to the game.
Everyone reacts differently though, so
they may help.

Can You Explain This? Posted: 11-17-07 12:20pm
A couple of months ago I took about a week
off from the strength shoe program, and I
was on a fast break and dunked over a guy
who had the most hops in my school. I got
up so high that my head was almost at the
rim and I am only 6'2". After that I never
dunked on regulation again and I have been
done with the program for a couple weeks
now. Can you Explain this?

I recommend taking a break off of the
strength shoes and leg related exercises
(asides from warm ups and stretching) if
you have been using it considerably. A few
days, perhaps a week, then see if any
change has occurred.
