Pre season preparation and training?

Winter is drawing closer and I cant be more antsy to ride but I'm not looking forward to those first 3 days of being out of ski shape and the legs burning.
So I ask you fellow Newschoolers what do you do for your pre season training? If you have any workouts or daily routines you would like to share please do!

I'm not looking to get ripped or super core about training, just enough to get the post season pizza back off the body and the mind right for skiing.

Pray for snow!

Ass to grass squats are probably the best exercise you can do.

This except PBR sold out to the Russians so drinking the blue ribbon is now considered treason.

Go ride your bike, hit some jumps. I use mountainbiking at the nearby state park to get me back into shape/stay in shape over summer. Also hit that backyard rail until it feels like a workout

I stumbled across a backcountry article by banks gilberti about his routine and I'm now trying to follow the same one. I'm on mobile so I'm not gonna bother to link it rn. But basically he says that you have to do eccentric exercises instead of concentric ones. Meaning you have to do exercises where your legs absorb force, instead of pushing off of something. Because really, that's where the weaker muscles are that get worked a lot more when you're skiing. It's not the takeoff that makes you sore, it's the landing.

Seriously, check out the article, it was some good shit and the exercise routine he gives makes my legs burn like a motherfucker.

For anyone too lazy to read the article, eccentric excersizes would be things like jump lunges, jump squats, box jumps, etc.

The older I get the more important preseason training becomes. The one year I did not train hard, I tore my MCL and Meniscus, Injured my ACL, and my season was over. It was my own fault.

SQUATS:
max out, ass to grass. Whatever your 5 rep max is, do 4 sets of that, then up it by 5-10 lbs each week. Remember, "If the bar ain't bending, you're just pretending". 315 lbs is a good standard.

DEADLIFTS:
helps keep those legs of steel balanced with hamstring and glute strength.
3 sets 10 reps

LUNGES:
Grab some 45s and get lungin'
for extra challenge put your back leg up on a bench.

LEG EXTENSIONS:
every trainer will tell you these are useless as "no sport mimics this motion and it's hard on your ACL's". Well these guys have never tried to ride out of a backseat powder landing. These are money for saving those ACL's when you land back seat.

BOX JUMPS:
I like to do 270 box jumps, both ways. Try pretzeling your box jumps, it adds to the misery.


But remember, NO RUNNING!

Anyone tried using a Slideboard before? They look like this:

We just got a couple in at the gym at my school so I got to fool around on it for a bit and it definitely seems like it could be beneficial. Obviously the movements more closely mimic skating but both the creating and absorbing the slide laterally seems like it could help build up some useful strength and I was pretty surprised at how quickly it tired me out. Definitely provides some variety to gym cardio if you get bored of the bike/stairs.

Cheech_SanderBut remember, NO RUNNING!


Just curious, why?
I trail run a fair amount and have always played sports with a good amount of running in them. Quite simply I love running. Why would you recommend no running though?

I have no science to back up what I feel, but it strengthens my legs greatly, helping loads with those long top to bottom hot laps. It gets my knees stronger, gets my core working, expands my lungs, and all around just makes my body feel more fit and energetic. I don't see a negative side to it. Is there one?

Rode a average of 10 miles a day over the summer and went from 200 to 170 and dropping. Drunk and high the entire time. I'm honestly not sure if I would have been able to drop the weight with all the help from the nug

Mountain biking is a good off season workout that is fun. Trampolining is fun and it also is practice. Throw some old skis on go in the grass lean back and pull yourself back up.
