Did anybody read the article on the ski workout in the spetember Skiing Magazine?

I think i may try it. it lok spretty detailed too.
 
Dude you're and idiot, are you retarded? Obviously doing leg work outs, like leg extentions, leg curls, leg press, squats(of any kind), lunges, and alot of other shit is better than running.
 
if ur a park skier then core strength is the most important. probably for everything in skiing. and trampoline basically exagerattes every movement you need for skiing. try jumpiong intensivley on a tramp for ten minutes nonstop one day. if you do tricks then do them and keep bouncing
 
i saw the article and yeah it was good but did u see D.Rahlves quads. They're friggan huge, they basically looked like tumors above his knee cap
 
Nah he was trying to sound like a bad ass and the kid always pisses me off cause he thinks hes the fuckin shit and knows everything, and hes not. sorry if i offended you in some way, i have no idea how it did, but its your deal.
 
"Dude, you're an idiot." Fucking hating faggot. Runnings good for you. He isn't retarted or an idiot. You are, for hating him. "faggot". Pffff... ALso that shit does nothing for cardio...
 
That's not a good idea for a ski workout. Going max weight will give you bulk and strength, but you'll lose quickness. Skiing requires endurance and agility, so it is a better idea to do workouts at medium wieght and high repetitions. You'll be stronger and quicker, and it will take you legs a lot longer to feel burnt out. High reps built what are commonly called fast twitch muscles, muscles that last but can quckly explode with power when necessary.
 
jeajejaejajejaejaejajaejeajej BOIYYEEEEE.

i started going to the gym 2 anda half months ago. No stopping or breaks, 4 days a week minimal. No skip days. (i dont cheat myself).

my legs are already crazy stronger and toned. It's hectic. When I started I could only max leg press like 340 or so. Now I can pump out 360 in 3 sets of 12 easy.
 
running helps cardiovascular endurence and agility

Leg workouts define spur-of-the-moment strength when you need it; they also contribute to muscle endurence

There isnt a "better" workout. Thats the dumbest thing ever. There are many workouts that improve different parts of your body.
 
0 weight exercises like squats using only your body weight. You should be able to do 50-100 at a quick pace before taking a break. Core work like leg lifts, sit-ups/crossover crunches, etc. Pushups are good for your arms and back. No need to use weights, ever, for anything. Unless you want to lift weights for the sole purpose of lifting more weights. The strength you gain from manual calisthenics is leaner and also provides cardio and endurance.
 
most people don't put enough importance on your upper body, to be a strong skier you need to have a stong body and that includes your entire body. you sue alot of your upper body while skiing too, also being in sahpe and increasing universal strength with keep you from being hurt. what you don't want to have is the strenght ration of your quads to hamstrings to be mismatched that is just asking for an ACL injury, and a stonger core and upper body will allow you to take more/harder hits/falls and keep going.
 
I forgot to say my idea but quick jumps are goodso you stand in one place and jump up and down as high as you can and pull your legs up to your chest while in the air, and then right after you land you jump agin so you are not on the ground for one full second jump as high and as fast as you can, do for 30sec. intervals up to 2+ intervals. fartliks arn't bad either.
 
I guess so.. I developed this out in the field where we dont always have access to a gym. As a bare minimum every day, whenever I have 10 minutes, I do

40x diamond pushups

30x jack-knife (lift legs and arms straight up while lying on back) sit-ups

75x Crunches (w/legs crossed in the air, pull in with legs and upper body)

30x cross-over crunches (touch elbow to opposite knee 30 each side)

40-60 wide-grip pushups

50-100 no-weight squats with a cross-over punch each time you come up

Pull-ups till failure

It takes a total of about 10 minutes at a quick pace. You can vary it by adding calf-raises at the top of each squat, and subbing out some ab work or pushups for reverse tricep pushups. This is what I do every day and I can post a pic or two of the results. You need to eat a chicken breast at every meal or fish, or some other lean protein. No supplements or shakes needed here. This will work if you want bruce-lee type build (small frame, dense lean muscle), but not if youre going for hulk hogan. Still, using only this workout type if I sit down at a bench, I can rep 175 10 times (I weigh 140-145). Good core and all-around workout.
 
or if you dont want to do that.. then as many squats as possible while blanacing on a balance board. also good for balance. HA
