gianttrials Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi so I am going to go to the gym just to get a bit stronger to help me lift my bike more keep the comments coming thanks alexto be honest with you i'd wait a couple of years before you go to the gym an do resistance, just ride more you'll soon get stronger, or do core exercises like press-ups, ab-curls, chins, lunges, squats (circuits are good), because where weights are concerned your still abit young an not fully developed, i'd say wait till your 16. i see it in my gym to many kids trying to get stronger at 14 an abit under, its silly they should be outside playing sports, an they don't develop like a full-grown adult would, thats my opinion as a fitness instructor though. if u still decide to go make sure you get advice an help, an dont push your boundaries yet untill your atleast 16-17.up to you if you take my advice, but i know what i'm talking about,hope this helps you alex,cheers ben g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmarks2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 if you want to get stronger i would suggest riding something like a onza t-bird with a bmx gearing lol for the weeks then swap back for the weekends your best bike will feel really light after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianttrials Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 people have said do press-ups etc because I have been riding for 2 years now I am good but want to get better at back wheels etc oh what are ab-curls.proper technique of a sit-up, get a strong core and everything else will become naturally more stronger and more developed.ben g WST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 This topic crops up every now and again. I don’t go to the gym, why build up unnecessary muscles? In my opinion if you are reasonably fit and can ride for 2 mins, (the time allowed for a section), just keep riding and the rest will follow.Ben.amen - although there was no need to post such a titillating picture (pm me if you want to play the hotdog game btw )you'll develop whatever muscle you need for a sport by doing it a lot - why waste time on bits you don't use?

Biff... Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) Biff speaking,Ok muscle bladi bla, i started workouts last summer now, free weights and the machines, im HEAVILY into it, improved on my hand cleans, press ups (with a weight belt) dips with weight belt, etc sqauts, overshoulder press, and ive recently reached 420 on my deadlift not fat of TRA's 500! all through that year. I ran EVERYDAY day, i lost 3 and a half stone. and now i do weights. its f**king painful getting fit, you gotta set your mind to it, aswell as your body. Anyways believe it or not, this was me last year ( in the blue ) This is me now if your going to for it to increase bike performance forget it, ride to train the muscles needed for riding.cheers, biffedit: www.myspace.com/zoobike Edited June 9, 2007 by Kyle Hinchcliffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod Man Leo Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) As part of my personal performance portfolio in sports science, i was monitoring my fitness/muscle mass before and after the season, (county rugby)And last year thanks to trials out of season, and pre season fitness, My biceps went from 11 itches to 14-15, might not seem like much but its a big improvement.And after the season just finished they went to 16, And i think its more or less down to trials,And my forearms are more than a foot now two!And it does help with biking, especially free ride. Were its Manley developed around core strength, (and not falling off) Edited June 10, 2007 by Mod Man Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
