What do you do for Motocross training?

[andy 101]

Currently running 70KM a week, has helped a HUGE amount. Running works the whole body, shoulders/arms/back.. Everything.

Also doing lightweight + high reps/high intensity weights training

Looking at getting a rowing machine as well.

The rowers are a good workout but they get boring using them for more than 30 min, I used mine for about 3 months now it sits there, all by its self while I go for a 10km run.

cycling is probably the best training that most of the top riders do, gets the heart rate up, and most top riders do it

i know a few of the guys that tried lifting weights and it caused more issues with arm pump, lighter weights and higher reps sorted that out,

flexibility training is also up there with the guys up the top of the sport,

Cycling, 40 km a day , sounds good doesnt it , probably more like 18 one way .. , neve measured it ! )

but Cycling I rock around all over the place on me bike..

2 we have a really nice tasting beer call all free , no alcohol , nothing in it and taste no that bad , ( bearable )

Now I know this sound strange , but ,,,, you know the grinder on the yhauts , well i use my exercise bike to mimic that action ,

basically cycling for the upper body

And I am STILL nowhere near fit enough for these young fellas !!!!


Those top fellas are riding hard most days , and when they aint they are in the Gym , getting that heart rate up

oh carb load the night before , no boose a few days before , and chocolate just before the race ( becareful with chocolate , what it gives it takes back in spades )

bananas all day !

There is being fit for riding then theres being fit for a national level rider....

You would need to be riding atleast twice a week pumping out a couple of 40min motos and on the other days it would be atleast a 20k run or a 80k cycle.

I dont think you could ever be fit enough to go flat out for a 30 min race if your working full time, seems the fitter you get the faster you go the more tired you get

Shit mate... When did you have your stoke?

[oldguy]

Shit mate... When did you have your stoke?

August last year......spent a month or so having to lean to walk all over again, and build up my strength, which is still a problem, I get tired very quickly.

[clmintie]

So I've been driving past your house and you've been home? I've missed out on quite a few coffees and chats..... You back at work now?

I've been doing about 6 months at the gym now. I do 3 days of weights and 2 of cardio.

At the end of each day at some point I feel like having a spew. The cardio days are killers.

Program is


Weights.

Bench press super set with press ups. 75kg bench press then 10 press ups.

Leg press super set with step ups. 200kg leg press with 17.5kg weight in each hand doing step ups.

Shoulder press - 105kg

Seated row - 60kg

leg lifts - 3 sets of 20

Plank - 2 mins

sit ups - 3 sets of 20


Cardio

5km row
20 mins x trainer
20 mins bike.


I'm not just focused on bike training though, I'm trying to build strength and loose my fat tummy.

Wouldn't you probably wanna up the cardio and drop the body building then?

[cheese]

Cardio doesn't specifically mean weight loss.
