paddling fatigue

[Chocki]

do kb swings, cleans, and snatches. the snatch seems to strengthen shoulders a lot

DO NOT DO KB SNATCHES!!!

They will jack your shoulders up over time.

I had always had my doubts about the risk/reward ratio of this one and Steve Maxwell confirmed my suspicions.

kb squats r good for mobility but how da fk am i gonna squat a 200+ lb kb?

exactly my point

Well they arent for building leg power/strength.

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

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.

Training will make you surf like Mick Fanning just like not training will make you surf like Dane Reynold.

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

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).

Lift and drop. Don’t lower the weight. Drop it.

Eccentric contraction builds mass.

The best thing for paddling fitness (other than paddling) is swimming. Lifting weight for paddling is nonsense.

 

[surfysurfy1476]

I havent been able to squat for about 2 years now after a bad fall at the skatepark. Having extra muscle never helped me surf anyways. Even if it was somehow helping paddle, the extra weight was a hindrance for getting barreled.

nah. swimming for paddling fitness is close to a total waste of time.

if you consider the opportunity cost, it really sucks.

but some people enjoy swimming and the head space.

doing chinups three times a week will get you heaps more waves in most lineups.

I hope you‘re joking.

200 lb squat for average male is not that much weight let alone for an athlete

you're right, but for the average recreational athlete, it's probably not necessary to lift more than this. there are a bunch of studies comparing heavy and lighter weight training regimens. Both show improvements in strength over time with the heavier weight regimen having a slight advantage.

try one in each hand? goblet squats with 80lb ain't that hard, used to do them at the gym. it was the heaviest kb they had. swimming is good for paddle endurance, more so if you're not in the water all that much. pull ups can help add that "pop" if you're already a decent paddler and have been surfing consistently. that's the first thing to go for me after not surfing for a while, ruins your confidence to get in the spots where you need to be.

I found that surfing 3 times a week really helped.

A lot of paddling fatigue comes from a lack of neural priming.

Totally. Happens every time we have an extended flat spell or I miss surf sessions due to work or family stuff. Then once I'm surfing regularly I feel a marked improvement in my paddling.

This is not to say I'm a GOOD paddler by any stretch, just that I see improvement when I'm at it regularly.

Same is true for playing music. Your chops suffer if you're not practicing a few times a week.

Front squats are a b*tch.
