Go for Srex type R, they're the higher weight range I know, but they're on the softer end of the scale if i remember rightly, as they're designed for running

Trex to begin with and then srex. I think you would need the upgrade pretty fast.

well if i need the upgrade really fast then why would i buy the t-rex for 240 pound and then buy the s-rex for 250 pound when i could just buy the s-rex in the beginning saving me 240 pound. ??

anyone else got an opinion for me lol. please
cheers.

i get what you mean but i dont want to pay overall 400 pound when i could buy the stronger ones for heavier weight for 250 pound istead of buying both the t-rex and s-rex..

you get what i mean?

Hi system.

Id hold on b4 plumping for the S -rex's.  Check with the Essex crew and see if you could try out T and S's--- I know peeps there have both types at one of their gym sessions.

Ive been bocking for a fair while and have just changed for T rex's to S rex type X ( I actually won them in a comp so didnt cost me anything ;D).


Im 12 stone and only after 9-10 months was I regularly 'bottoming out' my T's and only then when my techique was spot on.  With the S's, whilst I love them. Ill point out some observations. 1st cos of the stiffer springs, if you are nor spot on with your style and dont get all your weight down  , you get no bounce but do get a very definite jarring in the back. S rex frames and components are more solidly built than T's --cos of heavier weight of user and bigger stresses. This in turn means  that I dont think you can simply buy an upgrade from t to s at the moment. Also I really notice the extra weight ( S rex about  a 1Kg heavier than T's) for a lighter person this would be even more so.

On my original poweriSer stilts when my 1st lot of springs gave out I replaced with a heavier weight --but found I simpl could not compress them . The were like iron bars.

I really wouldnt want you to be in that position. I suspect you are really serious and could get darn good v quickly  , so you need to get the right kit. If you lived closer Id gladly let you borrow my T's for a week or so.

Again if you wanna chat on msn  im bmthbloke@glassisland.wanadoo.co.uk    I think
