This morning we put @chrishutchensmtb through a full range of tests using @trainwithpush band and app to get an in depth understanding of what he is capable of. We assessed his speed, power, reactive power, and strength across the force velocity curve. 🤓
As you can see, Hutch is a strong athlete pulling a quick 160kg deadlift and nearly getting air time under his lifters!

XC racers need strength too. XC and Marathon racer, @jimmytheexploder1 pulling a solid 90kg double this morning. For a ‘slow-twitch’ athlete of this build (63kg) that’s a really decent lift at this time of year that will help give him an edge at @4stagemtb_lanzarote next year.
Too many endurance athletes don’t lift or don’t lift heavy enough. Be like Joe, pick up heavy stuff. 💪🏼 #strength #xcmtb #ninoschurter #bikeradar #deadlift #mtb #mtblife #mtbfitness #enduromtb

Pen-y-fan before lunch?
No worries.
Completed it mate. 😂🤟🏼 Top morning with @inspiration_through_adversity getting some hills training in before he sets off for Kilimanjaro in January.

Do more pulling exercises. 💪🏼
Isometric Plate Row.
Try to keep pulling the plate through the bench. Keep shoulders away from ears otherwise you will build neck tension.
Don’t squash fingers when you finish.
Great for balancing posture out and for building a solid position on your bike.

Cheeky core and posture exercise for @chrishutchensmtb On a cold Friday morning.
Side plank with DB Fly.
Note how the arm extends so it is straight before the fly part. This is crucial to get the posterior shoulder and mid back working hard.
Side plank needs to be solid too. 👌🏻 @wideopenmag @nukeproofbikes #mtblife #mtbfitness #enduromtb #enduro #pinkbike #core

A couple of weeks back I posted a video on my YouTube about the importance of mastering the RDL. One of the reasons is that it unlocks powerful exercises like the Bent Over Row - BOR
Adopt a strong hinge position with all the tension in your hamstring and glutes.
You should NOT feel this on lower back. ☠️☠️☠️
Body remains perfectly still as you row with a controlled motion.
If you are hucking the weights up and torso moving then you need lighter weights or less reps.
Strict Form = Results 💩 Form with big weights = 🤮🤮 #dumbbells #training #strengthcoach #mountainbike #vitalmtb #moto #motocross #mtbfitness #mxfitness #actionsports

KB Rack Walk is a type of loaded carry. It is a great option for smaller gyms where you may not have access to heavier weights for farmers walks and other carries.
Keep the KB close to your body and stand tall with hips under yourself.
If you don’t have space to walk then try the Death March on the spot. Keep hips level.

Injuries suck but you have go to keep positive and keep strong. Motocross racer @300franklin_ is recovering from wrist surgery and we need to keep him as fit and strong as possible which often means being creative.
In these pictures we can see him working his mid and upper back by doing an isometric ‘batwing’ hold. By pushing the elbows back into the wall and bracing the body you can get a decent training effect without lifting weights.

Way harder than it looks.
Single Arm DB Bench Press.
This is a true full body exercise requiring tension from your toes to your ears. - Press feet into floor. - Brace core and bum hard to prevent lower back from arching. - Spare Arm must remain free. No gripping the bench. - Be smooth and controlled.
@chrishutchensmtb getting it done this morning. 💪🏼🏋️‍♀️ Want more exercises like this? Want a full programme of progressive and specific training for DH, Enduro or Motocross? Make 2020 your best season yet. Link in bio. 👍🏼 #dumbbells #training #bench #mtbiking #mtb #mtbenduro #mtbfitness #dhmtb #downhillmtb #moto #mxfitness #motocross
