Alun Goch Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Be more specific, do you mean your legs? Arms? Shoulders? And by power, do you mean brute force, or quick explosive power?Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 if you keep riding and pushing yourself then you will build up the muscles specific to trials anywaybut if you want to bulk out for yourself get yourself down the gym and get some propper advise with the machines availablefrequency intensity sutible for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Greenthumb Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 If you work out to early i.e at the age you are now then the body will not develop height wise. A mate of mine started kick boxing at an early age and he is 18 and fairly small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike addict Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi there. I'm 14 myself and i wouldn't call myself strong but i'm no pussy. Over years of riding the i've found that the best way to "build up" your muscles is to, like what others have said, to keep at it and try difficult things. The more you ride and the harder you ride, the better. Besides, in 4 or so years, your muscles will most likely have developed more so that will help you to get stronger.

Alun Goch Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Yeah, as above, you're only young, muscles grow as you get older anyway.Try doing some freeweights (dumbells), just start with a lightish weight, and do some each night/morning/both, rolling your shoulders and lifting in every direction.DONT over do it though, you can really get hurt, and big muscles aint necessarily stronger, too big and you'll loose movement.Anyway, experiment, see what's comfortable and what works, and hope you get the results you wantAlun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am4zin Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I did'nt think that under sixteen year olds were allowed to do resistance work (as in using weights as opposed to push ups) in the gym, only cardio work.I would'nt advise going into the gym anyway to be honest, just take up another sport?Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Just ride loads man, your 15 like, I can't see anything you do in the gym having a direct effect on your riding. Like if you can't get up a 5ft wall or some shit, doing weights isn't going to magically allow you to do it.Even once you've built the muscle, you still need to learn how to determine where you put the power at any given time.

Mr_Pitbull Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Plyrometric training, used by professional Basketballers. If you dont know the correct training its useless to you. Mind training aswell, most of the power comes from your subconscious hope to get the hight or level of riding you want. Also it helps not to be lazy and give 110% everytime.
