BallClapper@fit4racing on ig. It's a mtb training dude but that shit works for skiing too. Just poke around and see what works for you.
Farmville420Hit shoulders, ian osby had a post once saying the first thing to start hurting is shoulders and I remember laughing at the post being like "yeah right" and after 2 early season slams I remember my shoulders killing me and I've been training them like crazy and haven't had problems since
IdealiElPastaMy knees and shins hurt the most. Never had a big slam that hurt my shoulders.
Farmville420Shins? Does your shin bang not go away after the first month or so of the season?
IdealiElPastaIdk I don’t live near the mountains, so I can’t go skiing weekly. I’m also struggling with my boots.
-eREKTion-Skiing or not, everyone should lift. It just happens to be a fringe benefit that having juicy quads helps you ski better.
If you’re new to lifting, don’t overcomplicate it. Some may disagree but I think beginners should be working a full body 3x per week split. Also, I think that split should be strictly compound lifts: Bench, Squat, Pull-ups (with or without weight). Learn the basic movements then add accessory lifts as you progress to different splits.
Granby_killdozerconventional back squats are great but they can be hard on your joints if you like to go heavy so probably avoid doing that. Do sissy squats for some bombproof knees. Bulgarian split squats are excelent and not as hard on joints. Hack squats if you want some monster quads. Try to keep things in the 8 - 12 rep range since you're not training to be a power lifter. Don't skimp on mobility work and stretching. kneepainaid and squat_university are good instagram pages to follow for ideas.
