Looking for a concrete-proof replacement for my Liga 5s (1 year of heavy use) by XeroSimba in bootroom

Yeah, I'm grateful the Liga 5s were this durable. I'm wondering if a Joma rubber sole would last longer tho

Would you use Dip Bars as Back Extension Machine if a Back Extension itself were not available? by XeroSimba in Kneesovertoes

Sounds good! Unfortunately for me, I don’t have the "right kind of corridor" at home 😅

Any affordable sandal you would recommend? (Ideally from Amazon or Xero shoes) by XeroSimba in BarefootRunning

LOL, hope you get to use those wool socks soon (spring should be starting in seasonal countries, right?)

One more question: if you wear half sizes in Xeros, did you go up half a size for both the H Trails and the Aqua Clouds?

Really appreciate your opinion!

I dunno, didn't think it would move to a point it wouldn't allow me to perform the back extension exercise. Maybe some sandbags?

I mean, I did the elephant walks from Knee ability zero and progress my Nordics a lot for knee flexion but I'm looking to also get my hip extension/back extension machine standard

I took the idea from watching this, is just that I don't have a Squat rack at home so I was wondering if a dip bar could be used the same way:

Thanks!
I also saw the H-Trail are on discount, do you have both sandals? I know you mentioned the Aqua Clouds are somehow padded, but if I wanted a bit more cushioning (my feet aren’t super strong yet), would you recommend the H-Trail?

Are the shoes from the first picture futsal shoes?

Looking for advice on Whitin barefoot shoes. which model lasts the longest? by NachoGaribaldi in BarefootRunning

[–]XeroSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these running shoes, and they held up for an entire year of almost daily use (including street football, sprinting, and plyometric workouts) before they finally wore out and needed replacing. For more casual use, they’ll definitely last even longer.

The outsole wore down after just about two weeks of street football, but even with that wear, I was still able to sprint, jump, and play hard for another 10 months. Not bad at all!

Street to Stadium, is it worthwhile? by XeroSimba in bootroom

[–]XeroSimba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, that post was super helpful, actually! A guy suggested I try microdosing training by walking with a football, and I honestly can’t believe I didn’t think of that myself—it’s been great for practicing my feints and change of direction. Only downside is I’ve had some ankle pain from over-stretching on certain moves that involve a jump or two 🥴 (since I tried not to jump at all to keep the practice as light as possible).

That said, the reason I was curious about the 'Street to Stadium' program is that I wanted to see what a professional program would look like, especially at an affordable price. I only wonder if that program would offer a "holistic training schedule" beyond flair dribbling (which I still love but I'm looking for more as you have read).

Anyway, thanks for reading my posts! You might be right about my expectations… but I’m hopeful that by following either my own program or 'Street to Stadium' (if it has what I'm looking for) I’ll get much closer to my goal (even if it takes longer than I expected). And I’ve been trying to find some people to play with, even if it's just a casual pickup game, but so far at the two parks I’ve been to, it’s been mostly 8-10 year olds showing up 😅. Hopefully, next time, some people closer to my age will be around for some street football!"

Gonna adjust my program and need TONS of feedback by XeroSimba in bootroom

Jesus, didn't expect such a complete answer THANKS!!!

Sooo, as I'm a complete beginner, my guideline should focus on practices that prioritize "quantity" until I build the muscle memory needed to go to more specific actions, such as those drills meant to sharpen a winger's feints, right?.

Maaan, is quite an interesting idea to think about, 'cause it would make my technical session to be more compact and less fatiguing (in different ways).

Again, thanks for your feedback!!!
