Nature-Boy-Bodybuilding.com is Performing an Independent Study on the Use of Strength Shoes with Standard Gym Equipment for the Development of Calf Muscles

August 23, 2004 -- Nature-Boy-Bodybuilding.com is a cumulation of natural bodybuilding and fitness articles. Topics covered are innovative, from beginning to advance training methods to muscular development, nutritional conceptions to dietary theories. Nature Boy Bodybuilding is conducting an experiment of the relationship between strength shoes to calf muscle development. The lower leg muscle is generally stubborn to respond to growth and the size is usually related with genetics of the bodybuilder.

The demonstration will use both the strength shoes with calf building machines that are quite common in a bodybuilding gym. The combination of the training procedures will involve both fast-twitch and slow twitch muscle tissues. Athletes who want to improve their jumping abilities use strength shoes. The shoes have a "built-up" sole which, in turn, forces the heel to drop down and stretch the calf muscle. Using the controversial plyometric training methods with ballistic movements forces the calf to develop.

The controversial element is that the explosive actions can be hazardous on the body's joints. A safeguard have been added to help abate the dangers. This safeguard is a slow break-in training period, only doing the plyometric exercises twice a week to ensure the calf muscles and joints can recover between sessions. The experiment, with complete pictures and measurements will be recorded on the ‘www.nature-boy-bodybuilding.com' and at Nature Boy Blog each week.
