What skiing has done for you physically

Skiings the only sport that I can classify as fun. Competitive school sports, I am sick and tired of some coach screaming in my face.

yeah... it will make your quads a little stonger and i may increase your core strength but alpine skiing isn't really a good workout haha
 
Let see when I started skiing I was skinny and white, now I'm still skinny and white. Skiing hasn't changed my physical condition at all.
 
good: sick balance, leg and core strength

bad: many concussions which caused bad memory loss(i don't really remember anything before 6th grade), badly bruised femur, two thumbs which will never be the same ever, very bad knees which don't work like they should, hips being bruised all the time during the season for which i'm getting pads this year, other smaller injuries.
 
my legs get strong from racing and i get cardio fit from ski touring but all in all it's not a great workout, i have to erg in the winter to stay fit for rowing
 
I honestly don't know what you guys are doing, some of you are doing something wrong when you're not gaining nothing from skiing.

And like mark abma said in EDIAS, something along the lines of be aware of the mountains and the capabilities. You guy's should really train to keep your body in tip-top shape so you don't progress these types of injuries. like broken femurs? Fuck that's harsh!
 
physically skiing has claimed both my acls (at the same time), at least 4 of my fingers, dislocated my shoulder, and given me 2 major concussions
 
Skiings fucked up my left thumb and both of my hips, i cant take any hit on them anymore, even the smallest fall hurts like fuck and will make those places swollen.. But i think i've gained some muscle on my legs nothing much tho.
 
unless you live out west and are rockin bump runs all day, or were horribly out of shape to begin with, skiing is really not very much exercise at all. active, yes, but it's not gonna put you in the greatest shape of your life unless you're doing other things in training for skiing, like hitting the gym. mountain biking and surfing have gotten me in much better shape than skiing ever has.
 
lol
I would love to see your form/range of motion, thats like what almost 9 plates each side?
Just because you can take "800 lbs" off the rack doesn't mean your actually doing a rep...you should probably have a coach/trainer at your high school show you how to lift properly before you hurt yourself
Skiing/racing has destroyed my knees/back and a few concussions, but I wouldn't stop for anything

 
i race so i have the biggest legs at my gym CLAIM well thats not saying much see how all anyone dose at my gym does is arms and chest
 
torn mcl/acl in both knees, detached hamstring from pelvis ( 8 inches of the bone) shattered shin plate, one real concussion ,,, but most importantly : skiing has given me a big fucking grin every-time i go, and that beats any pussy injury
 
gives me something to do in the winter, if you don't like skiing or snowboarding, what else are you suppose to do with snow?
 
snowmobile, ice fish, winter camping, shovel it, plow it, sledding, luge, bobsled, ice skating, hockey
 
if it was a private pm to me, probably not at all

if it was in a thread, depending on the size and purity of the balls, maybe, 48 hours or perma band
 
Buddy you're talking to the next arnold schwartzenagerwefjhwef. I think i know how to weighttrain properlly and the results show. Tuesday i will have pics up just for you. My " form and range of motion is perfect. Thus i don't train at school i train at my local gym. And that's your fault that you hurt yourself.

I ain't mad.
 
when i walk around at night, the clicking of my ankle has more than once woken someone out of their sleep :)
 
Are you single-minded. do i have to list ever excersise and technique i do in order to please you? You need to get educated. Ever heard of a equal/well toned body?
