Baselayers Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Er...it was mentioned that a company might want me to do one of those exercise DVD things. No. Unless they offer me like big money I thought only ex soap actresses were allowed to do them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Do it! Make as much money as you can! Is strength and conditioning part of your training? Do snowboarders generally have S&C coaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baselayers Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yup i certainly do. You can't really do all that without having a strong core. You would crumple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thought so. Is it mainly just core work (which I guess includes hip and glute work) or do you do any explosive stuff? Where do you do your lifting? Sorry for all the questions - I'm just really interested in how professionals in any sport train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Tennis elbow again Any tips? I know it's fine to train on, it's just really bloody uncomfortable and it limits my max. So annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Tennis elbow again Any tips? I know it's fine to train on, it's just really bloody uncomfortable and it limits my max. So annoyed. MobilityWOD are good for that kind of thing. I'm on my phone now but there's a video on YouTube called bench dip pull up elbowitis (or something similar) from them. I know this sounds like bullshit but I'm pretty sure it cured my tennis elbow. Edit - Please ignore their affiliation with CrossFit. I've convinced myself that's purely for financial gain.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cheers fella. I'm also told to avoid arm isolation exercise. Which would be fine, except I need to build my bi's/tri's and especially my forearms to avoid strain as I move up through the weights with compound lifts. Just utterly depressed by it all now. Feel like packing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 130 deadlift a new pb and I felt more in the tank but my grip was slipping too much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2014 Do you use anything to help your grip? Liquid chalk is pretty effective and dirt cheap (a fiver will buy you a bottle that'll last you months) Used to be a huge limiting factor for me too on the deadlift.

Meath_Villan Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Wanted to go raw as long as possible but on top of lifting a new pb im slightly disappointed as I could have went a bit more or a few more reps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2014 What I do (and I've given this advice to someone else in here I think) is stay raw for your first few sets. Only use the grip assist, whatever it is, for like your top set. That way as you move up, your grip should still be improving because you're still working it at the lower weights (or first sets if you do all the same weight), but it's not holding you back on your top set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your back is deceptive. Rather than the kind of strain you feel with chest, where you know that another kg on the bar would mean game over, your back either lifts or it doesn't. Worst case, it never lifts again. Take it easy bro. Don't get whacking 20kg on next time and blowing up. 130kg is impressive. Height/weight?

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think he meant a few more but his grip failed him, as opposed to his back. Yeah I get that bit. I was just trying to quell his enthusiasm a touch. As somebody who never listened to advice telling me to look after my knees I'll certainly not take the same risk with my back. Slow and steady wins the race. You know that Stevo985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 easy lads ....I obviously didnt mean throwing on an extra 20 kg more like 1.25 on each side but my grip just got extra slippy will get some liquid chalk for next time....cheers steve0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) As for grip, I have similar issues. I've never tried liquid grip, but I wear gloves so I'm not sure what difference it will make. It's a strength issue for me. It's kinda weird, because I climb indoors too without any grip aid and I'm absolutely fine. Edited February 14, 2014 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah liquid chalk won't do anything on top of gloves I wouldn't think. I never rated gloves in terms of grip to be honest. They protect you rhands but I always found them slippier if anything, although they might have just been shit gloves. I bought myself some straps. They're brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
