What you said
I get what you mean
and you can be strong in so much different ways aswell
I m a huge fan of combat sports, and it's so interesting to see how fighters uses leverage and skill to deliver ultra strong strikes, throws and submissions
the same goes for trials riding, climbing, parkour etc
I do like to vary my training as much as possible. power lifting, olympic weightlifting, bodyweight, gymnastics, running, bicycle etc
I would also love to start mma or any other fighting sports
I like how you have pushed you riding for instance
I m sure you're pretty strong and explosive
but you're riding seem so smooth and effortless
that's the main goal for me
being efficient and of course, with style

went to the gym for the first time in ages today with the GF, did some deadlifts and they actually felt good for the first time ever (plus I wore my socks with the built in shin pads as I ended up bleeding last time I tried them). Did 120kg x 4 which I'm happy with (I weigh 70kg).
Rather than go to the gym I've been doing a fair bit of "movement" stuff. Mainly body weight exercises combined with flexibility....I'd recommend it
good work, 120 x 4 is very good
and yeah, bodyweight exercices and flexibility are soo cool
as I mentionned before, muscle ups!
Thanks.
I don't do any oly lifts, although I think they are great exercises. I think the risk of injury outweighs the benefit for me personally.
I wouldn't say so
but I m very focused on perfecting the skills and it takes really long
if you go big too early, yeah...injuries for sure

My girlfriends mum just bought me some charcoal and pastels, I've never tried them before so I thought I'd try drawing her dawg. I'm reasonably happy with it.

oops, if so, sorry :$Yeh was only being sarchastic dude.
I'll do a 5x4 today, I never feel much from russian twists though- probably means I'm doing them wrong. Has anyone done the exercise where you lie on your back, feet in the air legs straight, and someone pushes your legs towards the floor and you have to pull them back up? I found it really good for abs but my gym partner won't train core
did it
it's a nice one

That all sounds very silly indeed. Not my cup of tea at all!
depends what you re looking for
it is actually a lot of fun
plus
I personaly want to be well rounded
I love powerlifting and olympic weight lifting
but I don't just want to be stronger
I want good cardio, I want good mobility/motricity, I want to be fast, etc
there's dudes at my gym, real monsters. Super strong huge muscles dudes
I m like wtf I look so weak now
then they "try" to do a few burpees, or to run, or something else and they look just silly
it looks so hard to them
they seem tired and clumsy
I don't want that
each his own I guess

Agree'd but back when I was first starting out (and even now actually), slow motion was great for learning how to do things. Where should your body be, when should you lift bla de bla de bla.
Its even better now that theres more than 1 fps.
Pausing and playing a video tape just didnt cut it. slow fwd on DVD was slightly better.
this
some very "bad" vids are best to learn skills from
super slowmo is blessed
but yeah not the best vid for sure
-
well it depends how you do it
I swing like a madman and the pop comes pretty much only from the hips
You can also do it with strictform
which is somehow possible if you re insanely strong and not too heavy
there are also some people to go inbetween
they don't swing but just raise the knees explosively then follow with the hips and then the arms
-

muscle ups are fun
but yeah, if you re heavy, you may find these hard to get
Just f**ked up my neck in the gym yesterday
was so pissed
now I have to wait a few days for the pain to go away
can't lift, can't ride my bike
just pissed
-
saw this earlier today
Benito ross is one of the few rider that I can watch in slowmo without getting bored
I mean what the f
that's some insane pop
And I LOVE how his front wheel just gently roll on the very edge on those enormous bunny ups
-
biggest bench was around 70kg
biggest squat (parallel) 130kg (did 100kg deep)
biggest deadlift was 135kg and it was "easy" but very bad form and I injured my back
what about muscle ups?
I can do a few, but with a big swing
I was able to do 3 or 4 for in a row
now I m happy If i can make two
Here's one of my first ever, was so happy
trained for weeks to make it happen

Aren't they just running shoes? They're supposedly the worst shoes to lift in apparently. I read that on the Internet.
to be honest I do believe that now. I've been lifting in Aesics running shoes and my knees were getting properly f**ked. My lifty shoes really have seemed to make all the difference.
Deadlifted 150kg this morning. Not amazing considering I weigh nearly 100kg but getting there.
nicely done
i got back into the gym in december, with the goal of making the 1000lbs (453kg) club where your combined deadlift, squat and bench equal or exceed this weight. i'm on 180 for deadlift, 160 for squat and 100 for bench, so i just need to sneak 13-14 more kg in and i'm there
wtf? are you a bear or something?
that's some good numbers!

can i ask you lads who are older then me, do you feel like you should of quit by now? my family give me a hard time over riding and i think this is were the idea of being 'too old' has stemd from. your at a physical peak from 21 through till about 35 if you keep youreself in good nick :wink2:
IMO it's the opposite
as you grow older, you'll need some hobbys to keep busy and happy
life seem more stressfull and depressing with age (I m 30)
having fun is the best way to spend your free time, whatever it is
you have a gift and a passion for trialsriding
that's what's important
as you said it's 1000 times better than soccer or beers every 2 min

Give it a go!
Yeah that's what I felt, like I could pick up 100+kg but the more weight I added to the bar (started at around 50kg) the more I couldn't hold my shoulders back. I feel absolutely fine this morning so my form can't have been too bad, definitely something I need to work on though.
This is what I did, hello bruised palms
Out of interest, what are your stats body wise having done cross fit? Everyone I've seen that does it are like 90 kg and 10%bf!
I did 10 reps of 40kg today
wasn't easy but I got it
I ll try 45kg next time
I m 173cm/5feet8
and at the moment 77kg
don't have big arms/shoulders/pecs
but I ve got big legs
i ve done around 1year of crossfit in a shitty gym, but I had to stop because I injured my shoulder(tendon tear)
I ve been doing crossfit again now in a way better gym for 3 month(2month break because of injury)
besides the f**ked up shoulder, my lower back and my knees were shot too
overtraining=worst shit ever
duno about the bodyfat
I would say around 15%
This may be answered somewhere in this thread, but I don't have time to read all 85 pages!
I'm joining a gym with a friend for two reasons:
1) I'd like to shift my ridiculous pot belly - I'm not a big guy, I'm 6ft2 and fairly skinny in most places, so having a big gut is just stupid looking.
2) I'd like to build up my stamina for running, riding etc... Generally just be fitter.
Any pointers on a good routine that'll help?
I'm not looking to bulk up massively or anything like that, just shift a little weight and tone up a bit.
I'm posting here as I bet someone is doing a weekly routine for the same reasons.
Cheers!
80% diet
20% work out
watch what you eat
edit: didn't ment that in a bad way
but if you're close to your natural bodywheight and not extremely fat
It's harder to loose those last pounds of fat
so just working out without changing your diet may not work
depends on the person though
good luck

Crossfit looks SO good, but there's no centres around me that do it
Haha give it a go, if you do cross fit you'll probably piss it! In related news, I did deadlifts today was doing sets with 80kg which seemed like a reasonable weight for a n00b but was having real trouble keeping my shoulders back- I guess that comes with practice. I haven't got the trials riders hands that I used to a few years back, and my hands are TORN UP. Used a bit of chalk but didn't help a whole lot. Tips?!
I ll try today if I can
about the shoulders. Just lift a weight which is light enough that you can keep perfect form. 80kg is quite a lot already if you re new to it
the big problem with the deadlift is that you can lift A LOT without proper form and don't notice right away that you injure yourself in the process.
and if you really want to lift heavy, then don't do long reps
better have 2 perfect heavy reps, than 8 with bad form
about the hands. same as trials riding, it gets stronger with time.
I do use cream on my hands when the skin is too thick and dry.
dealfits hurt hands, they a re a grip killer.
the worst is mixing deadlifts with pull ups.
just not nice
