John planet x Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hey people,Just wondering who all here does weights to increase there perfomance. What sorta routines you do, what you can lift etc and have you found a huge difference in power?Ive been doing weights since last easter but never done any leg weights, but recently started to see if i can get more power in my riding.Having huge trouble gaining weight, but i dont wanna take supplements. Still 11 and half stone!hopefully noones had this topic before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 pure bulk in trials is not what you need. a good stamina i find is better (specially if you do comps) but each to their own.i only do weights basic stuff, just to keep my self kinda toned.....although not ridden or done weights in weeks. f**kING UNIVERSITY DISSERTATIONbaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hey,Yeah, well I dont actually do weights but I try to do short bursts of workout. Like 40 pressups quick to tear up my arms, hopefully when they repair they'll be stronger and more used to doing quick bursts of exercise (for trials).I also have mega trouble gaining weight, it just wont go on. I weigh about 10 stone, I'm 17 years old and just over 6 foot tall. Literally no fat on me. Anyone got any ideas on how I can bulk it up? I try drinking milk (protein) and eating chicken just because apparently they help repair muscle, but It really is the gashest thing being stuck at this weight. any help appreciated mat x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John planet x Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) if your eating alot of protein you'll need to do alot of weights mate. protein can encourage weight loss you see. So you need to be working out well to put it on as muscle. You will also need to eat like a horse Also, pressups wont help you bulk up, you need to be lifting heavy weights, you could try buying some or joining a gym, but pressups etc only help toning and keep a basic strength. Am not trying to become huge tank, but i wouldnt mind being a bit stronger and powerful. Im off work at the minute so trying to eat alot more and going to the gym loads!(excuse my editing) Edited December 12, 2006 by John planet x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 your all fatties im 20 and like 9 stone, try and try and try to put weight on but it doesn't happen. I expect when I get about 25 my metabolism will slow down and i'll gain a bit more but it's annoying as feck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roly Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 don't worry about it, I'm 6"2 and weighed ten stone constantly no matter what I ate untill I hit 26 and then for no reason just got bigger. Now if I drink shit loads of beer and eat like a mad man I can get over 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks chaps your all stars, worth asking for some dumbells for xmas? Heard you can get some from argos pretty cheap. That and some protein shake with alot of working out maybe I can hit 11 stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A!! Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks chaps your all stars, worth asking for some dumbells for xmas? Heard you can get some from argos pretty cheap. That and some protein shake with alot of working out maybe I can hit 11 stone. I got mine from argos for cheap, they are the york ones (i think its concrete in them). The set i got came with two dumbbell bars and one barbell, then with a set of weights. The only slight problem is that i have to change the weights around a lot as it didn't come with many, so for example when i do free weight bench press i have to take all the weights off the dumbbells, then put them on the barbell. It's these that i have got Argos. I try to do them quite often, and as it is winter now i have more time to as i'm not always on the bike. But like it has been said, lots of muscle mass isn't what is needed for trials, it's a fast twitch muscle fibre that is needed (i think). But i found it is helping me a bit with bmx stuff. I also have a programme that i do at school for gcse p.e, which mainly involves the machines like calf raises, lateral pull downs, and bench press.

Token Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Found This:To maximize your muscles with fast-twitch fibers, you'll need to train with low to moderate reps (e.g., four to eight reps), rest periods of around one to two minutes, and a moderate training regime (too much training will compromise recovery).So... that means beasting a 15-20kg weight, resting two mins and then beasting it again to get powerful fast twitch fibers.One more question...Does anyone know which muscles are used the most in trials?mat x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Pitbull Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) I always go gym, spend more time at gym than i do riding lol, cant stand riding in winter. I build every aspect of my body, and increase stamina etc by running, run for 40 mins. speed 14.5 for 20 mins and speed 11 for 20 mins. Run in the morning to burn fat. Lost 3 stone since i had monty i weighed 15 stone when i had monty weigh 12.3 now. Do boxing at night at my mates house and the odd bit of parkour after the late hours of 10 O'ClockLove the gym, especially when you got your own person trainer. Since as shit loads of people are more concerned about building the bicep muscle. Which is the smallest and hardest muscle to build in the body, thought id take a pic as if i took a pic of my back it would be a little hard to compare etc. My arms are coming on nicely, although the tricep muscle once built definds most of your arm, pointless builing biceps there bag o shit. ignore the b*****d white spots lol Muscle needs protein, people dont know that if your muscle doesnt tear and stretch then you wont build more muscle. You need to to reps then stretch the muscle in order for it to tear, the last rep is always important.has it helped me on the bike? no.
