^^^ im the same way both my shoulders have been sprained and it really hurts to lift weights or i just cant lift very much like about 120 max. haha

 

lol same here, but 120 feels like I'm just lifting the bar

 

Sounds like bad rotator cuffs. Mine were clicken and poping a while back. I did a search on the web and found some good exercises to strenghten them. Now I'm back to lifting and ridding.

 

i go to the gym 4 times a week, an hour a day and still ride every or every other day. Even if it's just my 50. I still ride as much as i can.

 

what is eliptical?

i use to work out like a madman 5 days a week for 3hrs then i started doing drugs and gave up. long story short had to get surgery on my shoulder. started boxing, still not lifting weights like i would want too

am im thinking its because i work 2nd shift. i despise getting up tired going to work-out get tired. lay around house for 1-2 hrs then go to work for 8 sometimes 12 hours in a factory.

i think i need another job but its too easy and pays to good to leave

i can never make up my mind about ****, this sucks

 

u have a complexe!!!

stuntin must be ur full time job cuz wit that schedule i dont see how u can fit everything in....or u have 0 social life!!!!

ZX10R!!!!!

 

I started training before I started riding in fact I got the idea of getting a bike in the gym it just hit me, I trained 5-6 days a week hardcore at first I got in to competiton shape not my original intention after a year of lifting by hard 4-5 hour days , Hard dieting carb cutting , poatasium loading **** like that , I wanted to start competing (bodybuilding) unfortunately I hurt my shoulder had to take it easy a while , continued to train but laxed up on the rigorous diet i still diet and lift 3-4 days a week alot less cardio I feel stronger now, but weightlifting if done to the extreme like stunting takes a beating on your body I got more injuries that set me back in my training its up and down I cant remember how many persistant aches I have from weights ,currently my other shouler just popped out of place on the bench it sucks but ah weel gotta push through it .

It is a tough balance the time can be found but if you get into training even if not professional just for you it becomes obbsessive and , getting hurt from either will set you back I am not really much of a stunter but I am still learinng , the thought of injuries keeping me from weights is aparant but its a gamble injuries suck they waste all your progress, and the road back to where you were is hell cause you know what it will take to regain what you lost,however I am reluctant to sit at home and scratch my *** but sometimes you have to. Take it with a grain a salt
It 's funny just yesterday i heard a couple guys from my school wanting to compete in a competiton they were ,totally into the lifestyle I walk in the locker room they look at me and say your competing , I laughed and said not like this , but it made me want to train 6 days a week again and get back into it full force .

Do what feels right,weights can get tiring too keep changing your routine after you made progress that your happy with to keep your body guessing.

good luck

 

same problem mine is excess bone on my "acromioclavicular" joint ha say that 10 times fast, its the shoulder where the clavicle meets the small shoulder end bone , the bone has cysts from grinding together the doctor says its a chronic ailment power lifters get. They can drill out the bone an smoothen it out but you can easily get a reoccurence , and your out for 6 months before lookin at a gym or ridin. I still got it just gota lift easy on chest now both my shoulders are poppin it does suck

 

those execises really helps im doin 3 exercise 3 set each right after my chest and my shoulder workout. my right shoulder was hurt 3 months ago and after i did those rotator cuff exercise it helps me get bak in the game. right now im stuck at 235 on military should press. if my shoulder get better i might be able to push some more weight. by the way by being fit that really helps on stunt riding and most important is streching.

 

I use alot of downtime I have to keep myself in shape when I get back, not to be rusty and get sore arms after 5 min...

 

Thats exactly the problem im havin right now. After workin all day and then goin home and boxing and liftin for a couple hours im to damn tired to do anything else. Im done workin out and eatin dinner and everythin by 8, just to damn tired to do much else afterwords. And if i do sit around and rest for a min and then go out late or ride late at night i wanna kick myself in the ***** for not goin as hard workin out. **** sucks but u gotta do what u gotta do. I know i aint ever gonna be some great *** stunter or even on the motogp lol but i just try to balance this **** as a release. Otherwise, if i dont do it i start goin nutz.

 

I think the hardest days for me have to be after legs or back. I'm usually pacing around like an old man LOL.

 

yeah, i pace like a ************ if i dont workout or ride for hours on end. then i cant sleep. now, if i dont workout hard as hell i cant sleep worth a ****

 

Yes I have no social life! all I do is ride! ......WOW i need to get a life out side of this damn sport!!

 

Way to go Alvin....but the season is back in and you better be ready to catch up soon..........

 

on the subject of weightlifting what workouts help the most with stuntin

 

I def say u can ride and lift both durin the week. it may take some killer disciplin but if ur goin to the gym already daily and have changed ur habits enough u can do it again. Go to the gym before work and then ride after. if u are goin daily then with cardio daily, arms, chest, legs, back, each one hard one day then abs hard 3-4 times a week u should def be under an 1-11/2 hrs. as long as the equipment is available. if u like to do everything too much it may not be lettin ur muscles rest.. ive been there and done that. i get so much more outta heavy lifting each area just once a week. just my thoughts.. and props to all that take care of themselves... its awesome to find guys that do it

 

I don't even ride as much as I used to and it seems like it gets to be less as the months go by. However, I travel on business alot but still find time to work out 6 days a week. I do cardio every day..that's a must. Too many good things to eat out there. I then alternate between chest/arms - back/shoulders - stomach/neck - core exercises rinse, lather, repeat. Dips all around my friends.

Cardio: 30 minutes treadmill after 15 minute warmup on Elliptical daily

Yeah, I'm an old man...and maybe that's why I concentrate more on getting to the gym than on riding. Although the thought of scraping a highchair at 60 years of age would be bitchin'. :YEAH

 

haha 37 isnt old..lol ac wouldnt like hearin that lol jk

 

lift for an hour 3 times a week to stay healthy and feel strong...play hoops all winter...ride everyday. days i lift just gotta be careful bc i'ma little weak for some tricks.

makes you tougher to, as far as falling goes. i've now joined the land of the effed up shoulder people, so no lifting or riding for a minute.
