Do you train in different planes of motion? The 3

Do you train in different planes of motion?
The 3 planes of motion make up all human movement and to fully prepare our bodies for sport we need to train in all 3 planes:
Video 1: Sagittal plane.
These are forward/back movements like squats, lunges and press ups. They tend to make up the majority of a training plan for most people, especially for people coming from a body building type background. All of the big max strength lifts are sagittal plane.
Video 2: Frontal Plane
These are lateral or sideways movements like the side lunges shown. These exercises are generally not as heavy and tend to have wide ranging benefits for injury reduction if performed correctly.
Video 3: Transverse Plane
These are twisting or rotational exercises. Often this is about generating power by linking the upper and lower body together through a strong and stable core.

New athlete on the Strength Factory roster. Welcome @jsmithdh 👊🏼
Actually we’ve been working away for some time and I planned to announce it at the first World Cup but who knows when that will be! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂😩
I’m stoked to be working with Joe especially as I’ve always been a fan of his flat pedal riding style.
Now let’s go racing please!! #strengthfactorytrained #mtb #mtblife #pinkbike #mtbfitness #mountainbike #dh #dhmtb

Top weekend of riding with the boys. Saturday Triscombe laps (video) chasing @fergus_ryan93 and @finney_joe and then a Sunday epic round Forest of Dean with @mtb_bish and his band of Merry men.
Feeling tired now, but so stoked on bikes. 🤘🏼😍🌈🌶🧁🤸🏾‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🚵🏽 #mtb #mountainbikes #mtbfitness #mtbrace #pinkbike #mtblife

Want an in depth understanding of how to built a solid riding position on the bike?
Hit the link in bio to find out how all the moving parts work together. Where you need mobility. Where you need strength and the common faults to avoid. 👊🏼😎 Let me know your thoughts. Anything I missed? What would you do differently?

I always dreamt of having my own gym and now it’s a reality! 😅
Thanks to the dudes at @wideopenmag for the loan of their pits I am fully set up for Covid Safe outdoor coaching at @bprofitness in Bristol no matter what the weather throws at us!
Feeling lucky to be working and lucky to have such great athletes and friends to work with. 🤘🏼
Bristol People: I have a few spots for new clients at present.

Want to see my pain face? After a couple of extra months due to Corona Virus pausing progress, it was time to finish what I started and throw down some numbers on the @wattbike

Combination Exercises like the one shown can be ve

Combination Exercises like the one shown can be very effective if used correctly, but too often are just random movements thrown together.
As always we have to ask WHY we are doing a certain movement.
In this case the weight is too light to get a decent training effect for the grip, bicep and upper back. Is it then worth doing then?
However.......
The addition of the row to the single leg (SL) RDL means you spend longer in the SL RDL position and you have to adjust your balance and control on the working leg as the weight moves. The row therefore makes the SL RDL more demanding and effective for this athlete. Also.......Although a light weight, in my opinion any additional rowing exercises are a good thing in our desk bound world.
What do you think? Do you use combination moves? If so, what and why?
Thanks to @marky_stevens for the demo. 👍🏻🤘🏼

Try this little mobility drill next time you train

Try this little mobility drill next time you train.
Push back into a hinge, load up the hamstrings and glutes and brace your stomach.
Slowly push the stick over head, keeping it slow and controlled. Bring it back to the upper back and stand up.
Simple. Effective. Harder than it looks. ✅
Thanks to @bruceem for the demo this morning. 😎💪🏽 #training #fitness #mtbfitness #mtb #mtblifestyle #pinkbike #motocross #mxfit

Just discovered this epic #throwbackthursday to about 1998-9 racing DH at the SAMS in Checkenden, possibly the flattest place to ever host a race.
I’ve got shin pads. Combat shorts including thigh gap. My local shop jersey @activfolkestone in Folkestone. And a dodgy piss pot helmet for good measure.
This weekend I raced XC on the Saturday and DH on Sunday with my cousin, Lurch.
Good times.
Go check out @rootsandrain and support the site in these difficult times. There may be some old gold in there. 🔥😎😂😬 #mtb #dhmtb #mtbfitness #retrobike #mtbrace #notenduro

I have been loving all the live coverage of the @spacex @nasa mission that blasted off this weekend. It’s truly inspiring and a momentary escape from the craziness of 2020.
Did you know though that in zero gravity, muscle atrophy is a major risk factor for astronauts? No gravity means no resistance and no effort to move around. That is why the ISS has its own gym, designed to maintain strength, fitness and health of the astronauts on board. How cool is this! 🤘🏼🧑🏼‍🚀 #training #astronaut #strengthfactorytrained #fitness #mtbfitness
