Motocross Injury Recovery Secrets | Blood Flow Restriction Training
starting every week with RDL changed my riding life more than any other thing. I go heavier and much slower though, really get a stretch before firing the hips.
@@anonymousanonymous8306 I love that! RDLs are so important for good riding technique and making that position really strong!
As a 56 year old, long time crossfit junkie who is switching to enduro and hopefully some MX, I think you nailed it. Love the Oly lifting but for most sticking to basic lifts like DL, press and squats are the best bet unless you get some good coaching. Now I need to go work on my crappy endurance! Great video!
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate you sharing your experience with Olympic lifts and cross fit!
Motocross is an incredibly demanding sport, both physically and mentally, and unless you've raced yourself, it’s hard to truly understand what it entails. What other sport requires you to sustain a heart rate between 179 and 180 during races, maintaining 92% of your maximum heart rate for over 30 minutes across two motos? These athletes handle over 300 pounds of bike while contending with each other and the immense forces generated by their motorcycles. On top of that, they navigate tracks filled with knee-deep ruts, jumps exceeding 100 feet, and breaking bumps the size of tires. Yet some people question whether motocross is the toughest sport in the world? It's time to get real about this. These athletes deserve to be paid more because motocross is one of the most underappreciated sports despite its rigor. I understand that their earnings may not match athletes like LeBron James due to lesser popularity, but if you were to put Eli or Jett through a physical endurance and strength test against top athletes from other sports, I’m confident the best motocross riders would come out on top.

Good video! Just found you and I appreciate the videos of yours that I have watched so far. Keep it up!
@@Tcurry04 thank you for the comment and welcome to the channel! 💪🏻
A few notes 2: is think riding alone is actually better for you than riding with people 85% of the time. If you're riding against yourself you can try out new lines & do weird things. When you ride with other people you tend to unintentionally/intentionally follow the pack. So it and up being less training and more money see monkey do. If you plateuo following a better rider can help but watching video of yourself will probably will be more valuable. 3: abs training is important if utilized correctly. Abs are used to control the bike while the back muscles, butt & leg muscles are used to hold you up. So while strengthening isn't a major priority, stabilisation exercises should be.
@@houjous5131 thanks for the comment! I think you may be on to something about riding by yourself. Having the freedom to do different things and not always feel like you’re racing while you’re supposed to be training. I also agree, stability is huge, though I would challenge that the back glutes and hamstrings also heavily control the bike, it just depends on what you’re doing. Rollers, jumping, whoops, etc. Thanks again for sharing your insight!

@@JacobPennisiMX you're doing great! Keep the videos coming.
What would you recommend for single track enduro riding?
I would recommend lots of zone 2 and a solid strength training program. Those races can be long, so you don’t necessarily need to do the full race length as zone 2, but I’d for sure be doing one hour at a time.
What Injection?
@@iCinders Botox injection!
Thank you JP much appreciate the reply. Not sure why I can’t direct message back on your reply 🤷♂️
When do u move up from each zone? Do each one per wwwk or per day?
Good question. I think of it like a check list each week. If I’m not riding at all, I’ll try to do 30-60 minutes of (zone 2) three times per week. I’ll also 1-2 sessions of HITT cardio that’ll be around 30 minutes long each session. This is where I get my zone 4 and zone 5, through sprints. I don’t train zone 3 hardly ever. If you ride a couple days per week, I would keep the zone 2 days and get rid of the interval days. The riding is now your zone 4 and 5 cardio. Let me know if you have more questions!
Thank you! Perfect video
Hope it helps you!
@@JacobPennisiMX is there a way to direct message you

How is this legal for the sport but drugs arent lol
If you find the answer to that, be sure to let me know lol!
These videos are great, thank you
Can you make a video of arms
I’ll add it to the list 😁 sorry about the delayed reply!
Do you think there’s any benefit to trying to get some of the z2 endurance work done on the dirtbike? It’s definitely a lot harder to keep the HR stable and not go to high or to low compared to a road bike. But it would be hitting the specific muscles you use where on a road bike or rower there’s some carry over but not 1:1
I personally wouldn't put a lot of effort into staying in zone 2 on the dirt bike. When you ride, your heart rate is elevated anyways due to adrenaline and cortisol and just more enjoyment, so to keep it zone 2 would be incredibly challenging and your effort would have to be so small. The thing we focus on is using other modes like cycling or rowing to build the cardiovascular system so that it's strong for us when we do get on a dirt bike. Then when we're on a dirt bike, we get our intense sport specific cardio. But the zone 2 cardio improves our capacity for all other types of cardio. Hope this helps! - Jacob
How long and consistent do you think you’d need to be to see the benefits of a stretching routine?
Hey good question, I would need to see you stretching 3-5 times per week, probably for at least 2 weeks to start seeing real benefits, but you may start feeling better almost immediately. Definitely takes a little time.
I’m a fairly muscular and strong person, but I just got a dirtbike for trail riding and I am realizing I have a lot of cardio work to do if I wanna ride more 😅
Crazy how far back moto trainers are when it comes to strength trainer. Being a former D1 football player (now current professional mountain bike racer) it’s blows me away. Peter park is the one guy who seems advanced in his training
Couldn't agree more! It's because most successful trainers in the sport are retired riders and they just do what worked for them. That's why I make the content I do, trying to change that little by little and introduce some education to elevate our sport!
I'm training to road race and also use MX as cross training, and these videos are ridiculously helpful. Thank you so much.
I’m glad!! Thanks for the comment! 💪🏻
Much appreciated info! Good stuff.
Awesome video. Would love to see another full upper-body exercise video 💪🔥
The theory doesn't apply to me. I had a max of 230bpm when I was 18, 204bpm at 45. So I guess it'll be around 195bpm now.
I need a cycling program. Please!

Lift hard enough and you get free cardio
Is that how it goes? lol. I just want to be jacked and ride dirt bikes ya know? ;)
@@JacobPennisiMX yeah man just legit hit the weights, if you’re out of breath you’re getting cardio
@@JacobPennisiMX my cousin and I tried it. I cycle 100miles every Saturday and have done since 1992. He’s done nothing but weight lift for the last ten years, we went out on a bike ride and he had better stamina, recovery, speed strength and endurance. We’re the same height and build genetically. Obvs he’s massive muscular wise but he absolutely destroyed me
@@BlindingSun_ That's super interesting. I wonder if each pedal is just such a low percentage of his 1 rep max that his body just feels like it's barely putting out any effort. If there's one thing I know, there's a million ways to skin a cat/get the job done!
@@JacobPennisiMX yeah true, cycling does a good job but yeah his legs are stronger than mine and mine are comparatively huge for my body lol, running is a waste of time though and destroys yours knees after the age of 30
thank you for explaining
Great info. Been using myfitnesspal for years and its a game changer! Ive ridden moto pretty much my whole life. At the ripe age of almost 33 😂 Ive been taking my health a lot more serious and gearing it towards moto rather than bodybuilding. Say Im good with my macros for BB, and I know where my macros should be for gaining, leaning etc… I would like to look good still, BUT I have started to introduce more carbs from fruits because Ive been fading and pumping up and my understanding is its due to insufficient electrolytes. Ive noticed my motos are better with the right carbs. But I dont want to over do it. Right now my proteins are slightly under my current weight as Id be happy losing just another 5lbs. That being said I dont want to over do it with carbs if I dont need to, and I know do Need some fats but Idk how much. Any insight on that?
I guess percentage wise with the macros. You see dudes like Roczen, and Sexton for example with beast physiques, but also able to throw down motos. Thats what Im after
I appreciate your patience in my response! That's a great question. If you know where your macros need to be and you know where to put your calories for a deficit, maintenance, and a surplus, the next step would be nutrient timing. If you want to boost your energy for motos and be sure that it's not getting stored as excess body fat, it all comes back to energy balance and timing. What I mean by that is you want to place the majority of your carbs or even eat a few extra carbs 1-2 hours before your first moto, and in between motos to maintain energy levels. Once the motos are done and you can handle being a little more fatigued, you go light on the carbs to make sure your body is burning the fuel and is leaving not much left over to store as fat. The checklist needs to be as follows for a lean physique in order of importance - 1 - 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight 2 - hit the number of calories you need for your goal (cut, gain, maintain) 3 - Let the carbs and fats fall in with your lifestyle and how you eat, without going over your calories for the day. (since you're riding, you may eat more carbs than fats, but should maintain a minimum of 50-60g of fat per day regardless) 4 - Adjust the timing of your carbs around the riding to make sure you have energy when you need it. Hope this helps! Jacob
Everytime I specifically train bench press / deadlift, gives me wicked arm pump at the track. Resorting to lighter weight/body weight stuff has improved my riding immensely. I'm not rail thin either, 185lbs body weight and can bench about 185, deadlift about 405.
Where is your riding at in relation to when you lift? I.E. do you lift on Mondays and ride Tuesday, or same day? Just trying to get some more context!
@JacobPennisiMX I ride/race on the weekends, maybe one or both days. Workout mon-thurs or tues-friday depending how sore I am depending from riding. I haven't trained bench/deadlift in almost two months now and my arm pump is mostly gone. When I was doing those during the week, my arms would blow up every ride without fail.
@@shaynebrown131 I appreciate the reply! That’s super interesting. Everyone’s different and our bodies react to lifting in different ways. You’re not the only one I’ve heard that from. Our guys here at MTF don’t seem to have that issue, but they also get to ride 4 days every week plus racing on the weekends. Enough seat time seems to negate anything lol.
@@JacobPennisiMX haha yeah I have to work for a living at a desk, not riding for one. Different lives. I bet if I got to ride more wouldn't be an issue for me either
How often should someone repeat this exact workout
Good question. If you want to see meaningful increases in strength, twice per week would be awesome. If you want to make sure you maintain strength and maybe see slower increases in strength, once per week would be great.
The best discussion on arm pump. Thank You!
Thx man ;-) Grts from Brazil ;*
Your last point makes perfect sense. After my first 2-3 laps I can't hold on anymore. Go sitdown and rest, then the rest of the day I am good to go with no more arm pump.
any riding is good practice, MTB , trails, motocross, always gonna carry over, any riding is good riding
Shit video title. Cmon man stay off the clickbait nonsense and just use a real title.
Adding a day of MX riding was a game changer for me in cross country races. You’re absolutely correct it helps with normalizing high speed riding and staying in control.
