Ice Climber vs Skier - Skier Include eccentric tempos in your training. Try using a 2-5 second tempo on the lowering phase of the exercise. Keep in mind the slower eccentric tempos and longer holds will create more fatigue and require lighter loads Include isometric holds in your training. Try using a 2-10 second holds at ‘ski specific’ depths. Keep in mind the holds will create more fatigue and require lighter loads Your squat technique should have your knees go over your toes like it would during a ski turn Use other lower body exercises to mimic the ground forces a skier experiences during a turn. The landmine ‘edge’ lunge does a much better job of this (see photo) Unless you are hucking big jumps, you probably don’t need a bunch of plyometrics in your program. I suggest focusing on a few plyometrics where you can stick the landing with control and precision every rep A skier will benefit from a higher volume of squats in their program because of the higher demands of the lower body compared to an ice climber https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/02e29595-d735-45da-b05a-a43d358696f2/Skiturnforces.png Blog - Squats! Ice Climber vs Skier - A skier will spend a lot of time with their knees over their toes in the deepest portion of their turn. Important characteristics: Moderate-high velocity and moderate-high eccentric and isometric forces Adequate leg endurance will help manage these forces Ground force reaction forces are outside the skiers centre of gravity during a turn (see image) Skier usually does not go into full extension at the hips and knees when linking turns Hips are alternating between internal and external rotation when linking turns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/5a861db7-23db-46cf-a201-2e9266678f96/IMG_4993.jpg Blog - Squats! Ice Climber vs Skier - As ice gets more vertical it dictates how you have to squat. Shins stay vertical during the squat (or else your knees bash into ice), butt goes out, and you need to have the shoulder mobility to do this with an arm overhead. Important characteristics include: Low velocity and low eccentric force Different stance widths Ankles must be dorsiflexed to engage secondary points Femur rarely goes below parallel in squat depth Hips finish in at end range extension (close to the wall) https://www.dividestrength.com/blog/how-many-reps-for-strength-training monthly 0.5 2024-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/d30e6059-7236-45e2-84cd-65e1a2cba389/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-25_websize.jpg Blog - How many reps for strength training? - The simple answer is - one to five repetitions, but let’s dive into the details. Strength can be broadly defined as the ability to create maximal force against an external resistance. My advice here will focus on how we make you stronger for your sport. Here are 3 tips to help organize your strength training in an effective and efficient manner. https://www.dividestrength.com/blog/tag/Strength+training+reps monthly 0.5 https://www.dividestrength.com/home daily 1.0 2024-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/d83ed2fb-3c7e-4c1d-b8ff-681e9f3e854b/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-97_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/00d6a16f-5d22-4a1a-a8b0-d436ed27a8af/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-30_websize.jpg https://www.dividestrength.com/sportperformanceprograms daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/1815cbcb-c043-43c5-851e-2094cd9c90b3/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-61_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/1724286994905-7ERVTM3P4AK1CJCC3KGW/hockey+specific+training+program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/f9acb8d8-c403-4039-8435-0e15a27aca94/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-111_websize.jpg https://www.dividestrength.com/about daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/e09be71e-405e-48cc-8a03-6f603404c803/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-125_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/6ac028ed-4300-44e4-8529-59610dfcf96e/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-8_websize.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/9460af0d-7ec3-43c9-9fde-acaf13930274/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-65_websize.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/630b47f9-5382-4d35-af36-35f6bc12b463/DSC08291.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/fed14602-987e-4980-a048-f284c54a854d/DSC08594.jpg About https://www.dividestrength.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-25 https://www.dividestrength.com/edmontonfitnesscoaching daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/1815cbcb-c043-43c5-851e-2094cd9c90b3/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-61_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/1724286994905-7ERVTM3P4AK1CJCC3KGW/hockey+specific+training+program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/f9acb8d8-c403-4039-8435-0e15a27aca94/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-111_websize.jpg https://www.dividestrength.com/strengthcoach daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/d83ed2fb-3c7e-4c1d-b8ff-681e9f3e854b/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-97_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/00d6a16f-5d22-4a1a-a8b0-d436ed27a8af/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-30_websize.jpg https://www.dividestrength.com/bestpersonaltrainer daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/00d6a16f-5d22-4a1a-a8b0-d436ed27a8af/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-30_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/d83ed2fb-3c7e-4c1d-b8ff-681e9f3e854b/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-97_websize.jpg https://www.dividestrength.com/outdoorenthusiasts daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/e09be71e-405e-48cc-8a03-6f603404c803/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-125_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/fed14602-987e-4980-a048-f284c54a854d/DSC08594.jpg About - Fitness for Outdoor Enthusiasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/9460af0d-7ec3-43c9-9fde-acaf13930274/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-65_websize.jpg About - Fitness for Outdoor Enthusiasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/630b47f9-5382-4d35-af36-35f6bc12b463/DSC08291.jpg About - Fitness for Outdoor Enthusiasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/6ac028ed-4300-44e4-8529-59610dfcf96e/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-8_websize.jpg About - Fitness for Outdoor Enthusiasts https://www.dividestrength.com/fitnessprograms daily 0.75 2024-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/f9acb8d8-c403-4039-8435-0e15a27aca94/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-111_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/1724286994905-7ERVTM3P4AK1CJCC3KGW/hockey+specific+training+program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/664662e34166d06ceaaf26d9/1815cbcb-c043-43c5-851e-2094cd9c90b3/EdmontonSportandFitnessTrainer-61_websize.jpg
