Scratching my head over spring strength.

I was wondering if anyone had experience/advice on this issue? I am new to power-bocking and was thinking about ordering some pro Jump EXO Pro Jumping stilts from the Pro-Jump website. I am not sure which strength of spring to order. The website has a guide and normally being 75kg’s (plus the recommended addition of 2-5 kg) I should be ordering the CZ80 (77kg-86kg). However I am also a gymnast and work on my vertical leap meaning that my leg muscles are already quite developed. I have even heard some gymnasts going up to 2 weight classes above their weight in some cases (http://www.air-trekkers.com/blog/page/2/)

“I have had gymnasts move through several weight categories in the first couple of weeks. But that is an exception.”

However on the other side of the coin, I have heard the following.
1. If the springs are too strong, you might not be able to wear them in at all due to insufficient weight. (If this is true how do the gymnasts do it on their second and third pair (given that their weight is unlikely to increase))
2. The learning curve will be steep.

I don’t particularly mind if it is steep. I would be willing to bear with it initially so that I later don’t have to buy new expensive stronger springs later when it would have done to go for a slightly stronger model at first.

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards

Mark

Hey guys I am a 5ft3 woman in my early 40′s and have a newly acquired pair of pro cuff airtrekkers. They are the correct weight category but the actual springs are bruising the backs of my thighs when I run in them – how do I adjust them to avoid this?

The velcro cuffs are just below my knees – which seems correct.

I love the air trekkers – but the bruises are bad LOL Help?

Hello I think the powerizer is better than powerstrider.

Let me know if is exact please. The fiberglass isn’it better than metal like powerstrider.

So I’m searching one powerizer in Canada first and second in USA

I will be interested to buy at good cost.

Thank You
