Beginning of Jan 2017, 28° in Hobart, drove across the Central Highlands to Cradle, it had 2" snow at the lakes. Got to Cradle and built a snowman at Marions lookout.Agreee is @ozzybmx. Did the Overland track in the first week of February - spanner water everywhere. Friends did it on boxing day and got thigh deep snow in places.
Yes. They are great, though a little dull, so long as you maintain good form. Get the full range of colours to expand the range of exercises you can perform, and allow for progression.Hey all,
My wife is looking to buy some resistance bands and from what I've seen, these can be pretty effective for strengthening the back and legs etc.
Anyone here had positive results from using them?
What's better about trx?Yes. They are great, though a little dull, so long as you maintain good form. Get the full range of colours to expand the range of exercises you can perform, and allow for progression.
You are still better off forgetting about them and getting a TRX.

Far more versatile. You can exercise any muscle, and you have near infinite progression potential. YouTube TRX exercises for a few ideas. I's Y's T's front and rear are my fave. Progression of squats are really good too. We expect to see you showing off your pistol squat prowess at the trail head soon.What's better about trx?
Neither of us like going to the gym so anything is an improvement for us!
I'll definitely check it out!Far more versatile. You can exercise any muscle, and you have near infinite progression potential. YouTube TRX exercises for a few ideas.

with the time you have in your week, what's going to give you the best time to fitness gain? Then we need to think about the specificity of the exercise and how that should match the target you're looking for. So time in the gym vs time on the bike?Hi all,
I suffer from running out of steam when doing climbing or pinch climbs, my thigh muscles feel fatigued and I have to stop for a while.
Any ideas on exercises or Youtube routines that don't rely on a gym or weights that I can follow to improve this?
That's really handy to know. I don't have a road bike but I can certainly ride 15-20km to the Palm Cove and back!with the time you have in your week, what's going to give you the best time to fitness gain? Then we need to think about the specificity of the exercise and how that should match the target you're looking for. So time in the gym vs time on the bike?
Bike wins as you can break down the target you're after through specific routines.
problem with mtb is we don't have enough longer sustained controlled efforts, so road bike is the most effective in building your endurance fitness base, power, strength etc. that translates very well off road as long as you have the skill set for dirt riding.
your thigh muscles are fatiguing, that means stronger thighs right?, nope it don't. that means poor technique, as you're not using the largest muscle in your body, gluteus maximus effectively.
you build your arse muscle by stressing it over a period of time and that's what the road bike will give you as you can do longer efforts at a level where you train your body to recruit that muscle group for power instead of relying on your quads.
example, watch Cadel, he uses quads specific initially in the big ring, he then settles into a rhythm using gluts to power himself through
I have several I can attack. Long slogs or short sharp hills?Nice work, I must admit I've been feeling heaps better on the bike lately after focusing extra exercise on core and also push-ups. But also overall upper body including shoulders, biceps etc.
Core for going uphill, push-ups for going down.
But again nothing is going to make you feel stronger riding uphill than conditioning the legs for going uphill.
Only way I've ever found a way of doing that is to ride more up hills lol.
Was feeling a little down in that department lately myself, so starting to focus on elevation again to get my mojo back. Starting last weekend.
Due to lockdown, options are limited. So to try and get back into it I knew of the steepest hills in my local area, so just smashed out as many of them as I could in 2 hours. Not the most exciting thing to do in your life, but my god does it make a difference to how you feel the next ride out and just gets better from there.
Off bike exercise is great, but will never make up for smashing out the hills on the bike. Even if just boring weekday rides through the local neighbourhood backstreets. Set your focus on the steepest hill and go for it as many times as you can.

Longest one was 2 half minutes, about 40m elevation.I have several I can attack. Long slogs or short sharp hills?
I can only grind when it comes to Hills!Longest one was 2 half minutes, about 40m elevation.
I am spoiled as they are quite steep, average around 7% but push up to 10%. But if you don't have steep but still have the elevation, just push a bit harder for what you have. Mix it up between spinning high rpm and grinding a bit.
