Plyometric give me Metatarsal Pain... >.<

the sore pain is at point A (top of my foot connecting to 2nd toe...
and at point C is where i had developed some hard thick skin...

back in the days i had some electric shock nerve pain at the left leg..., it was like half a year ago at least...
it was at that time that my toe have slight sore pain... seen the doctor... and it said.. i should just rest it out.


recently the pain get a bit annoying and more serious.. and now even my right leg have similar pain at the same toe.

any vertical trainer have similar experience?  is rest the only thing i can do?

I discovered When i try to flex all the toe upward toward my shin, my 2nd toe.. is the only toe that wont flex up as much as the other toe.....  :uhhhfacepalm:

in terms of high impact exercise, i only do a 1.5 hr plyometric session... per week...

I mean....what is there to say scooby? If you're going to do a 90min plyometric session with (I'm estimating) 100+ ground contacts on concrete, you're gonna have a bad time. It's not rocket science. Of course you need to rest. You might be getting stress fractures which are an absolute bitch to deal with. The only serious injury I got as a junior was a stress fracture in my left toe, and it took several months to heal because I kept training on it. Of course, if your toe isn't coming up with the rest it could be a tendon problem, which, again, is an absolute nightmare. Either way, gotta stop with the plyos, no other option IMO.

Goddamn it man, we all want to see you slam it but you're your own worst enemy sometimes. You need to post regularly again so people can catch your fuckups before they get too bad.

I couldn't imagine doing 90 minutes of plyometric activity especially on concrete   :o


I would definitely recommend stopping that ASAP, if not I guarantee those injuries will get worse and even to the point of "sparking" more futuristic problems for yourself. I would take time off to heal and during that time try to find a better surface to train on, but regardless when it comes to the CNS and training to get better responses from it I believe a 90 minute session of plyo's is overkill. maybe that's just me though lol!

Nope, I agree, 90 min is definitely overkill especially for plyos.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

Seriously scooby... how many posts of good advice have you received over the YEARS and decided to completely ignore? You usually say "yeah, OK, I know" etc, and then prove the complete ignorance of said advice just a few hours (?) later by posting yet another vert guru saying this and that, and you saying you tried it and it got you injured.

I've seriously given up on you, there's no way you'll ever progress.

nah scooby HAS progressed, raptor, you know that.

still, scooby, acole told you what the problem is. your volume is too high. stop doing so many ground contacts on concrete. it's not about rest periods. and actually, rest for a little bit, stay off your foot. i have a hard time with this, too. raptor is telling me in my thread to dial it back to active recovery today and i want to scream, but i think he's right.

got the same "hurting bones in the balls of my feet" feeling after doing repetitive 36-40" altitude landings on gym hard wood flooring. to do it on concrete is just asking for an injury.

5'10" | 210lbs | 39 yrs
reach - 7'8" (92") |paused full squat - 545x1| standing VJ - 40"|

absolute unit

Too many contacts for concrete as mentioned already. I'm surprised no one's asked yet but, what type/style of shoes are you doing this in? How old are the shoes? Condition of the insole and outsole?

Thanks for the support LBSS,  And I know where Raptor is coming from, he had seen me on this forum for many years... I understand how come he is frustrated at me... as I am frustrated about my progress also... But i always trying to learn and listen to suggestion with an open mind.  I was so close at my peak much over the rim very possible to dunk 2 months ago before I changed my job.... but now I am going backward....

Too many contacts for concrete as mentioned already. I'm surprised no one's asked yet but, what type/style of shoes are you doing this in? How old are the shoes? Condition of the insole and outsole?

I used a 50% worn out addidas Rose TEAM Usa sneaker. Not the best cushion available.  And I some time play like 30 min basketball post plyo...


If i know i wont be balling after,
I wear addidas Boost runner.  Suppose give u rebounce... but i am not sure the rebounce is a good thing or bad thing interms of plyometric... (rebounce give u joint pain?)



I also have Leborn J X with full length Airmax... that should provide batter cushion but it is more heavy... and probably not good to Test vert with due to too much cushion.


I should and will alter the routine to limit jump/ground contact... like you guys suggest...
but finding a place with nice flooring will be tough.... We don have grass land where I live... even if there are, you are not permitted to STEP on it...

Finding a track with Red dirt or rubber flooring to do plyo is possible.... but there will be nothing for me to Jump off from....

thinking......

Cushioning>all for training. Who cares if you jump an inch less during training? Hell (and maybe I'm in the minority here), I say cushioning/feel/physical wellness over all. Which is better: a 40" vert tested once then a ton of pain causing you to regress in training and performance or testing 37" repeatedly for awhile but being able to train consistently because you aren't hurting?

I can jump higher in an old pair of Iversons I have but it HURTS. I choose to wear my J's even though I don't jump as high because of whatever reason (extra cushioning, weight, etc) but I get to jump more and train more. In the long run I think that's the better approach.
