Baller akale15 Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 So I decided today that I have sat around and drank too much beer without working a whole lot of it off this winter. Anyone else there with me?! Haha Since starting late is better than not starting at all I need some good workouts to start doing at home before I hit the water. Been doing some at home strength exercises but nothing focused. What are some exercises y'all do to get prepared for the new ski year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller akale15 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 @ShaneH there is no such thing as too much beer, there is only such a thing as not working any of that beer off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ahhhhhhh thank you for the clarification. For a minute, I was worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chris Rossi Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 cardio, cardio, cardio, cardio, cardio, squat, deadlift, bench, cardio, cardio, cardio, cardio, push ups, pull ups, cleans, cardio, cardio, cardio...It is much easier to improve strength to weight ratio by losing weight than it is by adding muscle. Also, drink a lot of water as most people do not reach their recommended daily intake. 12oz curls are cool, but running a PB is much cooler!

Baller Marco Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ditto what Rossi said. I've been hitting the gym at least 4 days a week since mid January, doing heavy cardio mixed in with upper and lower body weight training. I've lost 13 lbs so far, with 2 more to go to reach my target, and have toned up beyond what I had hoped for. I've given up the beer (but not martinis), and am hoping for a new PB this summer.

Baller BlueSki Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 @AB, thanks for the advice, I think I have it. Watch video, get disgusted to point where eating is not an option, leave the room running (cardio), and having convulsions (core strength). Don't drink, otherwise beer-goggles could change the usefulness of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think 6-8 16.94 second bursts would work, 2-3 times per week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted March 25, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted March 25, 2014 16.98 would be better but ZO wont budge for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Razorskier1 Posted March 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 26, 2014 I've done 5 workouts in the last three days. Two power workouts with my son (to keep him motivated) and three Crossfit workouts. Body weight currently at 190, down 5 from last year. Doubt I lose any more before the season starts.

Baller jjackkrash Posted March 29, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 29, 2014 Squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench, BB row, pullups, push prowler, run stairs, repeat. Question: what do you "cardio" advocates mean by "cardio"? Jogging? Something else? I just don't see how steady-state cardio is going to help you much in a 16 second pass (and steady-state cardio tends to strip rather than build muscle), but staying lean/losing fat is a big plus. High-intensity interval training, sprints, etc., would seem to me to be better for ski training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BCM Posted March 30, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2014 @jjackkrash - I include lots of cardio because I have had favorable results when I balance strength training with endurance training. I don't think it is for everyone. Besides skiing I am an avid mountain biker and snow skier and I enjoy trail running. I get lots of cardio because I enjoy it, not because I am suffering through it. I have found that I have better 5th and 6th passes when I have been doing more endurance training. But that's me, others will have different results... I also really don't like gyms, I workout 1hr 3days/wk with a basic weight set in my basement (awesome investment, maybe $150 on CL...). I would rather be out on the trail with friends on my bike than in a gym with a bunch of sweaty old dudes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jipster43 Posted March 31, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hiking the ridge 3-4 times a day, tele-turns down. And I just started a new round of P-90X. I begin the waterski season completely prepared. Lacking only technique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
