I met with my personal trainer for this season today for the first time, im pretty pumped this guy is the real deal. 5'6 200 pounds Irish knukle boxer, he coaches  two of the top Ultimate Fighting Champions in las vegas.  he basically told me he is gona turn me from a skinny pothead to  able to take the hardest slams on ice and gain around 30 pounds. Twice a week in this private gym,  i have a feeling hes gona kick my ass  but i think it will really  help with not getting injured this season

thats pretty sweet, i had a trainer for a little, he was the funniest guy i have every met, and he always was complaining that the dumbbells were to small, wtf they went up to like 150, idk, and he would tie weights around his stomache for chin ups, but anyways, i ditch him after 2 months, i just everyday after school and the days i dont lift i run from 5 30 to 6 30 before school, works just as well once u get your rutiun(sp) down, and saves a shitload of cash

You have to strenghten cetains groups of muscle thats tabilise your body, not those that are giving you more strenght to create movement. Big guns wontsaveyou from breaking your shoulder but certain groups of muscle will. and most of them wont make you look bigger since they are deeper muscle.

Skeirs should do a shit load of swiss ball training tos timulate back stabiliser muscle that are wwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy smalll

sweet deal man, once you start lifting you feel so much better, its a perfect way to get rid of stress. Once you go a few times with your trainer and learn the ropes of the gym, ide ditch him and do your own thing, it takes a bit of discipline but its good for you.

Also man, if you wanna put on some pounds of lean muscle do this:

Whey Protein (Optimum Nutrition or NytroWhey are good stuff) to start helpin you bulk up as a general rule if your workin out hard 4-5 days a week take 1gram of protein for every pound you weigh...spread it out, keeping your protein levels up in your blood is essential to building mass

Depending how old you are you may want creatine, its a safe and slightly faster way to see gains, its not a shortcut so you have to keep at your workout

Eat a healthy diet, drink lots of water, stick with your workout and do cardio 3 or more times a week. It will take awhile but you will be feelin good and a stayin healthy.

Also, if you do start this up and get in a nice routine, you may wanna get a boxing trainer and do punching bags, that builds good coordination and i think would be a better use of the money as opposed to a lifting trainer once you know what to do.

training is key. not many people actually realize how much strength plays in the sport. I train 3 times a week with a gold medal olympian, and 2-3 times a week with a 5 time world karate champion; both at semi-private gyms. It really helps, and you end up getting jacked anyway. It never hurts to be fit

Oh and key exercises for skiing would be:

Shoulders (Find exercises that work your rotator cuff, it gets shock on pole plants and falls)

Quads - Squats and the sort

Torso conditioning - situps crunchers, back exercises (I dont know the names, just what to do) depending on your gym, GOOGLING is a great way to find information on what to do (i.e. back conditioning/strengthening or Quad workouts and rotator cuff workouts)

And always stretch your legs and arms before sking, start limbering yourself now because it makes a big difference when sking with reducing injuries. Yoga is actually great for this

2 times a week could work if it is a really good workout. Most people dont allow enough time in between workouts. I work out 5 days a week but i always make sure to give each muscle group at least 2 days rest.

no, I don't, but I'll back up my statement some more. Go to the gym, twice a week, lift all major muscle groups, using compound exercises where appropriate (squat, deadlift, benchpress, overhead press, etc) TO FAILURE, and go big (at least, big for you, everyone's different). You will be sore as shit after a workout like that, and if done twice a week, with good rest, eating, etc, you will be doing well for yourself.

this isn't really ski gabber anymore, but oh well.
