130lbs?. I can't see it man.

You would have to literally starve yourself & your going to have no energy.

Your pretty skinny now @ 153lb's.

To perform gymnastics you need certainly need great core strength/flexibility. I bet these guys could pull off planche push ups.

I thought it was a juniors 10kg bar with green 20kg weights on.

She's been lifting since 7.

I agree with the past 2 posts.

Like I stated, there are probably more optimal exercises. Maybe he just doesn't want to do powersnatches and bent over rows?.

I think one advantage would be that the OP's exercise creates less CNS fatigue which could be best spent on actual mountain biking.

train with a heavier bike + get stronger throughout.....

How would you load the bike? (make it heavier).

The goal is not to try to train as specific as possible (if that was the case, you would just do your sport and keep away from the weight room), you still need get stronger in what you do. If your training movement does not allow this to happen in an objectively measurable way, specificity becomes a useless concept. Aspects like time for force production, muscle groups involved in a movement, length of the kinetic chain etc. are more useful in determining specificity in my opinion. Would the guy do powersnatches and bent over rows he would probably get much faster progress for a much longer period of time than with this "exercise".

I disagree.

Remember, strength endurance (Mountain biking/road cycling) is characterized by a combination of great strength and significant endurance. - V. M. Zatsiorsky -

The goal off the bike would be to train as specific as possible in the weight room with exercises which employ that whole triple extension (hip/knee/ankle) as witnessed on the bike, which the OP's exercise has. Specificity can only take you so far (riding the bike), then it would be time for greater strength stimulation (weight room), although specificity (riding) will always remain king. Case in point, my power output on my road bike kept increasing the stronger I got with the deadlift & hip thrust. This is seen with track cyclists, very strong guys that can put out huge levels of power. The OP would benefit more from his exercise than doing tricep extensions etc.

The only point I agree on is there are probably more optimal exercises. Maybe he just doesn't want to do powersnatches and bent over rows.

I can certainly see how this exercise would help a rider out, trust me. I ride bikes all the time, more road than mountain biking, mainly to get my hip flexors super explosive for sprinting. The big difference I find is upper body soreness after mountain biking.

it sort of looks like what you would do when you want to do a jump on a bike. Maybe he's trying to simulate that with weights so he can do higher jumps, just a guess.

+1.

I think that's his exact reasoning for doing this exercise, being able to bunny hop & overcome obstacles/terrain much more efficiently.

Genius really.

it's pretty easy to see who does and who doesn't have a basic understanding of economics in this thread

I don't think poor people give not one iota.


146
Everything bought and sold today is based off of other people's ideas and methods and merely has a "stamp" to differentiate itself.

Then I would refer to that as both stealing (using other people's ideas and methods for which the original creator is not compensated) & greed on the producers part, particularly for people who already have a good understanding of increasing athletic performance.

It's money which can be best spent on more important items & necessities, not knowledge which is being rehashed that I have already acquired.

It all comes down to the root of all evil & greed.

It's survival of the fittest out there, a dog eat dog world.



147
Thus it is their prerogative on what to do with said knowledge and some do give it away for free.  However, some do not and if you go against their wishes and take their work without their permission you are stealing.

It's the original producers that steal (most of the time).

There efforts are usually based off other peoples idea's & methods to begin with. They just apply there own "stamp". This leads too a waste of money that can be best spent on just surviving.

There is an element of greed. It's all about money.
 
The poor don't like the greedy.

I tried hip blet squats when I had a sore back late last year. I bought the Iron Mind belt and basicalyl gave up after 1 session because no matter how I position the belt I always felt the chain was ripping into my hips at the bottom. They were just so freaking uncomfortable it wasn't worth it. The next day I had all sorts of nasty ass bruises.

It's what sets many athletes apart, having the mental toughness to go past that & getting use to it. Lower the weight, build-up the tolerance levels.

Zercher squats (which I don't do anymore) were by far my most painful exercise I performed, having a bare bar in the crooks of your arms, but you get use to it after about a month.

Keep all these in one place instead of having them scattered throughout my youtube fav's list.
