just do pull ups, find that when I do them in conjunction with surfing often that paddle power is on another level.Lat pull downs seem like a good exercise for surfing (paddling). How can you best replicate that without a machine?
Or is paddling the best exercise for paddling?
Paddling is the best exercise for paddling. Using let pulldowns or pull-ups is good for general strength adaptations and will help increase the size of the motor but the skill of paddling is specific to paddling.Lat pull downs seem like a good exercise for surfing (paddling).

What's your weightlifting program look like?You give a lot in these forums VM.
cheers for that.![]()
It doesn't always.. Depending on the day subtracting 5% could still result in a higher RPE than the previous set. Sometimes I'll push through and just grid the reps out but it's would be better to stop at the prescribed RPE and if it leaved you one or two reps add a mini set for them.I thought subtracting 5% subtracted another increment of RPE. IOW, RPE 8 - 5% = RPE 7.
hmmm...thanks. So much of this is nudging progress forward. I've stalled out on the press. There were warning signs for weeks that I used too high of an RPE. I should've backed-off on weight on some of the work sets. There also seems to be a different spread in weight increase percentage vs. RPE increment in upper body vs. lower body exercises.It doesn't always..

Organize your training to meet you where you're at on a specific day. Carl Lewis didn't always run his fastest at a meet. You get stronger by getting adequate amounts of training stress to drive an adaptation. Grinding gives you plenty of mental stress but the physical benefits are very limited.hmmm...thanks.

When you were in college did you join a fraternity?Filled 2 20 yard dumpsters with broken tile, concrete and other assorted heavy construction debris in 3.5 hours will get back to the swimming and paddling next day off.
hahahah, really pissant and ghetto, as per usual.What's your weightlifting program look like?
How much do you deadlift?
Not sure what is “pissant and ghetto, as per usual” about my question.hahahah, really pissant and ghetto, as per usual.
nah, we had ALOT of good to great surf this late winter/spring and I got some over-use/fatigue injuries flared up, including lower back.
I'm a rehab program, all self-made.
I'm doing 50 pound goblet squats. 4 sets of 15 reps.
140 deadlifts 3 sets of 5 reps.
I do that Mon-Wed-Fri. Which means I've squatted/dead-lifted 15, 300 pounds at the end of a week.
Not sure what VM would say, probably laugh his ass off, but it's making my back feel great again.
50 pull-ups twice or three times a week, depending on surf.
dips, push-ups, depending on surf.
You don't want to lift weights, we get it.Not sure what is “pissant and ghetto, as per usual” about my question.
I was serious.
I can remember weightlifting was a PITA for all of us groms in high school because all the muscle fatigue was affecting our surfing negatively.
A lot of the guys in this thread don’t surf all that much so the gym rat life is a viable option.
I think adding weights into competing in beachbreak 2 or 3 hours a day 3 or 4 times a week …. In addition to cardio ( running) 12 miles a week…. I think my muscles would be fucked. Not to mention I already eat like sh!t to keep up with all the calories I burn.
So I thought it would be interesting to know what your gym routine is because you actually surf a lot.
im guessing it’s all point surf though so maybe not comparable? not sure if you walk back or paddle back there but you’re probably paddling less anyway cause being on the high end of the pecking order you’re not having to compete.
btw, be careful with the dips - have several friends who are competitive swimmers and both say they are a “no” - risky for rotator cuffs.

By choice Numbnuts. You don't hear me complaining about my body breaking down unlike yourself.So that's what History Majors do for a living.
Anyone who says x=danger should be ignored.... and then killed. I bet more people get injured from water every year than from dips.Not sure what is “pissant and ghetto, as per usual” about my question.
