Hi. I'm a college student who has only worked out a few times during the past two weeks due to finals. Now that break is here, I can finally get back to lifting on a regular schedule. However I want to tailor my workout for something in the short term.
My friends and I will be snowboarding in 2 weeks and in 1 month near Lake Tahoe. I understand that lifting is a long-term endeavor, but is there a lifting routine that is perfect to help me as a snowboarder? If it helps, I've done Taekwondo for 16 years of my life, so my legs aren't twigs.
>m, 22 yo >5'6" >130lbs >shitty arms, mostly leg muscle
>snowboarding kill yourself. mummy and daddy should not be paying for your shitty holidays. you should be dead. should have been aborted. kill yourself snowfag.
Josiah James
I paid for it myself.
Aiden Murphy
lol you fag that's even worse. choose an actual activity holiday instead of fagging down a snow slope
snowfags are usually snoefags because they have retarded parents that get them into it at a young age - kind of like pedos. but the fact you chose this means there's no hope for you. end it now. post pics.
Luis Hall
lol what snowboarder bullied you in highschool
Evan Wood
>lifting is a long-term endeavor durp I knwo sum tings I do see me knowledge see I noe
Brandon Kelly
Wow someone's grumpy. What would be a "real" winter activity for you?
Colton Carter
I mean it is. Would you happen to know a routine that specific to snowboarding or not?
Levi Edwards
lol I used to go snowboarding. I was the snowboard retard who laughed at other people's poorfag holidays. never again. go surfing or rock climbing/hiking they actually require some effort. to bike riding. just anything other than the fag slope
Austin Thompson
yeah working on your core for stability and balance, and to a smaller extent leg day >t. was snowboard instructor in a former life, had couple of full seasons in the snow. Uber otter and slayer then. Best time of my life.
Carson Phillips
fuck I used to be like you please kill me.
weight training isn't the best thing for snowboarding. find some good flexibility workouts and add weight to them.
if you can squat your own bodyweight then you are strong enough for fagboarding in the fagfluff on the fag slope
please kill me. you reawakened my fagboarding days memories I thought were gone.
Connor Perry
if your frame igot some muscles up you will be a lot less prone to injury so lifting in general is good for riding.
Austin Powell
At least this winterbreak fag just tells us straight up. You and your awfulposting kind aren't welcome here kid
Jaxson Wood
gotcha. Thanks!
Nathan Jenkins
if you're ducking muscles are tight as fuck and weight lifting REDUCES flexibility then you will fucking break something
Hudson Davis
See that wasn't so hard. Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to stay as far away from you as possible for your sanity.
I would want to know this: what would you recommend as a winter sport, then?
Isaiah Sullivan
true, gotta >stay loose
Colton Myers
Thanks for the welcome.

cancel your holiday and contemplate how much of a fucking snow shit you are instead. really think about it...
assuming I can't unbrainwash you:
1. Balance - There are many ways to practice balance. use Google
2. Strength + core - For snowboarding, try and incorperate Core workouts with your legs. Do squats on a BOSU, or one legged squats on a balance disc. Never use too much weight, and have somebody spotting you. If you are doing normal squats, lunges etc. Try and end your set of with side to side jumps, high jumps, quick knees up, quick jumps, or ladder exercises. Not only do you want to get stronger but you also want to increase your stamina.
3. Abs + Back - There are many many mannnnny exercises for these two. When doing abs and ANY workout, make sure you are not cheating on your form. This will only cheat yourself. As far as abs go, I like to do 2 30-45 second routines then follow it up with a set of pushups. For example, Ill start it off with 45 seconds of situps, then do 45 seconds of crunches, then do pushups till fail, or 20. Then back to two ab exercises... then back to pushups. NOW, this is supposed to exercise your back aswell. Pushups make pressure on your back. There are also many different kinds of pushups, If you want to know some let me know. As far as strict back workouts, Try the front bridge for 1 minute, followed by 12 hip thrusts, the side bridge on right side for 1 minute, 12 hip thrusts, left side etc etc.

I did some gym stuff pre-season by the way. One that really helped my balance was just doing regular dumbbell curls, but standing on one leg; that way you have to work your core and leg muscles to stay balanced and you strengthen the ligaments around your knee as well. And do some ab wheel rollouts all day every day
Nathaniel Long
what the heck happened to you mr.? how'd you get so hateful?
Christopher Phillips
>I would want to know this: what would you recommend as a winter sport, then? Go hiking and ice/rock climbing. Find a place to play ice hockey or some other team sport you can play in the snow/on ice. Hire a snowmobile. Just stay away from the day slope.
Parker Diaz
gay/fag slop
Brandon Harris
I'd suggest core exercises, especially ones that target oblique.
You also might do balancing exercises and jumping exercises.
Michael Lewis
Ignore the autist
Snowboarding is god-tier fun
Lucas Torres
lol
Sebastian James
wall sits and back squats
Anthony Hall
>tfw no snowboard
Easton Gray
You’re that retard that posted a while ago about snapping your shit up snowboarding aren’t you
Leo Martin
Not that user but nothing beats snowmobiling
Joshua Jones
To avoid massive doms after first day, do legs, adductors especially. Also obliques and lower back I guess. This is based on my personal experience, used to have >90 days/year on the slope when in my 20's
