I want to know what skiing has done for you strength wise and has it helped you excell in school sports and improved your health (obviously). It just popped into my mind because all summer i've been going to the gym to do cardio, legs, abs , arms ect. I Need to get in shape for those long Big Mountain compitition, shitty-snow-runs that's a killer on my legs.
My friends are shitting brix because i can leg press 750LBS. (800 on a good day). Skiing has also helped me on my speed. I'm a really good sprinter/distance at track.
I'm 5'9/153lbs/16 years old.

Skiings the only sport that I can classify as fun. Competitive school sports, I am sick and tired of some coach screaming in my face.

yeah... it will make your quads a little stonger and i may increase your core strength but alpine skiing isn't really a good workout haha

Let see when I started skiing I was skinny and white, now I'm still skinny and white. Skiing hasn't changed my physical condition at all.

good: sick balance, leg and core strength
bad: many concussions which caused bad memory loss(i don't really remember anything before 6th grade), badly bruised femur, two thumbs which will never be the same ever, very bad knees which don't work like they should, hips being bruised all the time during the season for which i'm getting pads this year, other smaller injuries.

I honestly don't know what you guys are doing, some of you are doing something wrong when you're not gaining nothing from skiing.
And like mark abma said in EDIAS, something along the lines of be aware of the mountains and the capabilities. You guy's should really train to keep your body in tip-top shape so you don't progress these types of injuries. like broken femurs? Fuck that's harsh!

unless you live out west and are rockin bump runs all day, or were horribly out of shape to begin with, skiing is really not very much exercise at all. active, yes, but it's not gonna put you in the greatest shape of your life unless you're doing other things in training for skiing, like hitting the gym. mountain biking and surfing have gotten me in much better shape than skiing ever has.

lol

I would love to see your form/range of motion, thats like what almost 9 plates each side?

Just because you can take "800 lbs" off the rack doesn't mean your actually doing a rep...you should probably have a coach/trainer at your high school show you how to lift properly before you hurt yourself

Skiing/racing has destroyed my knees/back and a few concussions, but I wouldn't stop for anything

if it was a private pm to me, probably not at all

if it was in a thread, depending on the size and purity of the balls, maybe, 48 hours or perma band

Buddy you're talking to the next arnold schwartzenagerwefjhwef. I think i know how to weighttrain properlly and the results show. Tuesday i will have pics up just for you. My " form and range of motion is perfect. Thus i don't train at school i train at my local gym. And that's your fault that you hurt yourself.


I ain't mad.

Chances are you don't, you're using a leg press. That shows you do not know how to train.
