Ramp up for the season I thought I'd put together a list of exercises I've been doing to get ready for the upcoming ski season. The specific training anyone does will differ depending on the type of skiing they do; park/pipe, powder/backcountry, recreational, racing, all mountain. As for myself, I partake in all aspects of skiing, especially all mountain, so my exercises are varied. Here are some things I've found to be helpful. - one leg squats (standing on a bench): great for balance, core strength, and leg strength Let's Get It Started!!Any ski lovers out there? Hopefully there are. If so, do you do any specific workouts/lifts/exercises in preparation for the season or during the season? Recently JoinedMember BlogsHard MuscleCan anyone lend info/resources on how to develop 'hard' muscle? (techniques, methods, nutrition, etc) Is 'hard' muscle equivalent to lean muscle mass? Periodization - Strength & HypertrophyI've been pretty bad at keeping track/updating my workout and nutrition log for the past 2 weeks. I just moved back to Utah from San Francisco, so on top of work, I've been doing plenty of skiing! Periodization - HypertrophyAnd so concludes block 2 of the hypertrophy stage for the periodization training. Another abnormal block because of Thanksgiving, but overall very effective. I also changed my tempo from 3 sec - 1 sec - 2 sec to more of a natural tempo; probably more like 1-2 sec - 1 sec - 2 sec. This definitely made a difference. I'm going to stick with that tempo through block 3 and probably change it again for block 4. |
