AWESOME!
What camera was used?
-
I shoved all my clothes in my bike box and just had that as my check in bag. Didn't bat an eyelid, just took it to oversize and jobs a good un.
This is very clever.
Going to have to try this when I go ride in Sweden.
-
Plyometrics i'd say. Do some searches on how explosive athletes train, body weight exercises are very good to increase strength and endurance without building a lot of mass, as you don't want too much more weight to shift! I'd also say clean and jerk, very good explosive exercise. Also as much constant comp riding as you can to really build your endurance!
Yeah I have around 2 comps a month. Sometimes 1. I have natural stuff on my seafront, well just rocks, but my arms pump on those after like 30 seconds so I think starting on those would be a good starting point too.
-
I think I need to redo my whole routine.
So what should I do?
Squats
Deadlifts
What else?
-
How many reps on Deadlift and sets?I'm on mobile so I cant read the thread in work to see if anyones suggested what I'm saying here... dead lifts will help your grip/forearms so will rowing; especially if you grip the row-bar with an open grip; fingers only no palm on the bar... will flare up your forearms in no time... I row/pul up/deadlift regularly as balls and havent had arm pump issues in time...
Anything in my routine i should take out? I only want to do stuff that helps with trials
-
Why does no one make them available on mobiles
Nice video, those trials places look fun to ride
Nice riding too!

Richard Tickner snapped his frame at the Hook Woods British Round.
Enjoy.

This will sound silly, but I'm not sure I know what arm pump is hah!
That being said, are you sleeping enough?
If you are going to the gym and do bodybuilding type routines, you will be destroying the muscle fibres and you have to give the body lots of sleep to rebuild it.
I work out at the gym for a few hours every day and I go to bed at around 10 pm (9 pm UK time) and I get up at 6 am.
So try sleeping more!
Kevin.
I sleep at 10.30pm and wake up at 6.15am

Give me a routine boy.
Facebook meh

Also I take Whey Protein and Creatine Monohydrate. I know the Whey Protein wouldn't affect me, but would the Creatine?
-
Ok, I get it now.
So the days are different every week caus of the odd number. Got a little confused. I'll try it, thanks.
Edit: So you put in chest and tri's for twice a week?
And, do you reckon I should give like a week break before trying this out. So that everything is fresh and relaxed, that way I can see whether it has made a difference?
By break I mean just cardio and abs.
-
I just did every other day as a rest day, even if it meant training on a weekend. Like so:
Most of my comps are on Sundays, what would I do if I missed out on the Sunday routine though?
+ I like to try and ride atleast 5 times a week.
-
I'm fine with doing body weight stuff if that will make it better.
Any suggestions are considered.
-

It is kinda extreme when you look at it for a trials routine, but I did want to gain some size too. However I can now see it's not worth it as I'd rather be able to ride my bike without arm pump than have big(ish) muscles.
I do wear gym gloves on my routine.

I have been speaking to a couple of people about my arm pump.
Ever since I have started weight lifting, which has now been about 2 months I have got very bad arm pump when riding.
So bad that half way through the first section on the first lap of the last 2 comps I have entered my arm just pumps up so much I can't complete a section in the available 2mins30secs due to trackstanding to try and get the blood flow back to my forearm.
I have been told to stop weight lifting, which I am fine with doing. I only done weight lifting, because I wanted to gain strength for trials.
So that been said, the gym is the cause of my severe arm pump issues and have been told (as I said above) to stop lifting weights and to also create sections when I am practicing and try to get through them in the 2mins30secs which will help.
So after this long winded repetitiveness I have written above. What should I do at the gym? I have a one year membership there and can not leave unless I buy my self out for a stupid price. So I may aswell stay. I will work on my core and do some cardio, but is there anything else?
What could help with the endurance of my muscles without lifting the weights?
Thanks in advance, Danny.

Put my new foam grips on today. I first put them on with hairspray, the right hand side stayed on there pefect, but the left hand side come loose. They were left over night to dry.
So I took off the left hand side grip and cleaned the bar and the inside of the grip and tried it with water. Put a little bit of water on the bar and on the inside of the grip and left to dry for atleast 1 hour. All seemed good until after 5 minutes the the corner of the grip came loose, which made the middle bit come loose. If this makes sense?
So I tried with hair spray again, didn't work.
Tried with water again, didn't work.
Seriously getting agitated with it now. Not sure why it's doing it.

This bit comes loose.

This bit stays on the bar nice and tight.
Same thing happens every time. :'(

My bolt is getting stuck in the frame and I can't tighten it up any further without forcing it, which I'd rather not do. What should I do? I think the bolt may be going in a bit wonky, how can i sort that? Its brake mount btw
