[QUOTE="Smokin Joe, post: 49787, member: 18130"] Just my $.02 First off, my belief (& experience) is that one needs to have a certain strength level proportional to their body size before endurance training can offer any benefit. I have witnessed many people excell in various athletic activities very successfully that at first glance one would have not thought possible. IOW, a large person will inherently need to be stronger than a leaner person. Knowing that many (most?) that get into dirt bikes are not always the leanest, each has to assess their own situation and as has been said previously and decide what their goals are. (As I understand it, anything at 8-10 reps builds a good balance of strength and endurance with higher reps leaning more toward endurance.) For my situation, the single, most beneficial exercise has been wrist curls with a full, 1 gallon water jug tied to a broom handle!!! This one exercise alone has helped my riding improve by at least 300%! It has helped not only by preventing arm pump but also tremendously increasing my grip endurance. The only way to improve at any endeavor is to focus on your weak points and turn them into strengths. Sorry, I think I went way over my $.02 limit ;) Joe ------------------ Joe Hammond Meridian, MS '97 KTM 250 EXC, '85 XL-600 AMA, Blue Ribbon Coalition, NETRA, SERA (soon) [This message has been edited by Smokin Joe (edited 04-02-2001).] [/QUOTE]
