paddling fatigue
- Thread starter anothergrom
- Start date
I did read a few journal articles about it this morning, and I stand corrected.
My initial bs-calling is an old habit. Part of it comes from growing up in the punk/hc scene and just wanting to call bs on everything, part comes from my science schooling which made me question claims but also to examine the scientific merits of it.
Politics forum folks......if you're reading this.......see, that wasn't so hard, was it?
There's a point at which I start to question the wisdom of so much weight training some surfers do. Wouldn't a surfer benefit most from developing mobility, training for explosive power, and interval training? Heavy weights should still be in your regimen somewhere but should be a fairly low percent of your regimen.
Any doctors or trainers in the house?

You don't have to be in debt the rest of your life.
Wipe the slate clean. All these fucking illegals getting free health care. Junkies getting treatment while cancer patients get very little.
Don't wait another day. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney.

Kinesiologist that fixed me told me the gym is my enemy. If you are surfing twice a week, all you are doing with working those upper body muscles again in the gym is making those muscles tight and reducing your range of motion. Work on legs and core. You don't need a gym for that. Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. Ever see guys in the water that don't stretch. Weak paddlers.
if you can surf, strength training makes you surf better.
every pro has now figured that out. same thing applies for people who don't surf for a living.
you don't need a gym. just a few heavy things and a chin-up bar.

You can do both. A proper weight training session should only take 30-60 minutes. Weight training is great because it increases your testosterone. The main thing is staying at fighting weight. You can weight train without gaining weight, (or more weight than you want).
if u can add the low bar squat to ur routine it would help a lot. prly best full body movement out there
I agree with this too, and weight training session feels great afterward. Not overdoing it is the trick.
been looking for a cheap rack.
been doing cossack squats with kettlebell, which is great for your ankle mobility.
First page third post. That’s good exercise. Nothing like getting worked for inspiration.
I’m not sure why you’d need to. I’m not really convinced that most athletes need to squat any more than 200 in the first place.
200 lb squat for average male is not that much weight let alone for an athlete

do kb swings, cleans, and snatches. the snatch seems to strengthen shoulders a lot
my workout:
bench press - start with 75.lbs end with 125 - 60 reps total (25 75.lb ,20 100.lbs,15 125.lbs) - rest 1-2 minute between sets
lat pull on hammer strength machine - 30 .lbs each lat (60 total) 2 sets of 35 - rest 1-2 minute between
shoulder press on hammer strength machine - 25 .lbs each shoulder (50 total) 2 sets of 35 - rest 1-2 minute between
dumbbell curls (only free weight) - start with 25 .lbs , end with 35 - 75 reps total - rest 1-2 minute between each set
triceps on hammer strength machine - 45 .lbs each tricep - 2 sets 40 reps then 35 reps - rest 1-2 minute
then I do an assortment of 4 core exercises resting 1-2 minutes between each set
stationary bike 30 minutes start out 25% resistance increasing every 5 minutes with a good steady pace, not sprinting but not F'n off either until 3 minutes are left then I sprint the last 3 minutes increasing resistance every 60 seconds.
what I'm doing is what I call an extreme cardio. it may not work for everyone but it works for me. I mostly surf in Texas but I will do this routine for 90 days prior to a surf trip in central America. I'm able to surf the high tide window of 4-5 hours with very little fatigue......at 56 years of age.
