Thank you Pinkbike for having me! Know the question that everyone must ask themselves... Can Christina take me out on a biceps curl challenge....
She is ready to go, but so are you. Love watching your videos, you make me try and push my limits. Just wish I had more trails like you to ride!!
Great video Remy! Good exercises and nice form. Thanks for sharing
She can Beat Hulk on a biceps curl Challenge👍
6:34 ... I was like, "Did Dude just snatch 135 without so much as an exhale?!?!" Then I saw they were 15's... but still, at most workplaces that would be a "team lift" situation! Thanks for tricking Christina into taking her clothes off! You've done a very good thing. ;)
Another great video, Christina has added a lot of value to Pinkbike. She is very natural with every situation. Plus she is a great rider! Much respect!!!
i agree christina is awesome!
good humour - i haven't seen a video of her and Mike but i want to
Damn Christina, them quads and hams 💪🏼
Chill dude 😂
Actually looks like an athlete
Quadzilla (compliment)
Rémy " Basically " Métailler
Well now we know which Pinkbike presenter is the most ripped. 💪
I may be 3 years too late, but this whole video has exceptionally sound exercise advice for anyone looking to get in shape via body building/strength training. The focus on correct form and compound movements that focus on core, back, and stabilizing muscles is exactly what I would recommend to anyone starting out.
List for the gym: Back warm-up with resistance bands, balance ball kettlebell squats, straight arm cable pull-downs, front squats, box jumps, deadlifts, barbell bent over rows, clean press (modified), pull-ups, push-ups, foam roller, stretching.
Loving the new and different type of content 👌 Nice collaboration Remy and Christina
Two of my favorite riders ever!!!
Just stumbled across this video...great to see the basic compound movements featured in this video!!! I think MTB (and other cycling disciplines) focus heavily on endurance at the expense of strength. Teaching clients to build a base of strength first before incorporating more sport-specific exercises is always my goal: so important for developing better coordination, balance and work capacity, especially for younger or new riders! This is why you guys have the best content 😄
A few additions:
- Form > weight
- Train your shoulders A LOT. It really hepls with injury prevention when falling.
- Frontsquats are good, but if they cause you knee pain do backsquats (either low bar or high bar), this will put the knee in a better position. If it still hurts, ask a gym employee to watch your form
- When deadlifitng, keep that back straight, expecially the lumbar spine, you dont want herniated disks
- A good tutorial to learn the clean part of the clean press is ua-cam.com/video/3F5UCelGl9o/v-deo.html
- When at the gym, avoid machines and work with free weights, this improves stability a lot-
- Especially when coping with wrist injuries, keep your wrists "stacked" see: ua-cam.com/video/dA3VeBhQMps/v-deo.html
Seems like every sport fucks your shoulders up, and no one does enough rear delt work. Back squats are king but both are fun, just gotta do the cross arm not arms back which sucks. And seems like 90% of people just can't deadlift well, sumo makes it way easier to get good form.
These tips definitely aren't as good as they seem.
Nice to see remmy actually cares about proper form! Great video
I always care about proper form. On the bike or at the gym!
mobility/range of motion is easier to maintain than strength and it's just as important..
great video.
Fit and injury free, learning that into my old age, longevity is key!
Excellent job on form, most of us don't have access to a ski erg, I like to use a standard erg/rowing machine. The foam roller is overrated, use a barbell end to roll the lower leg and a lacrosse ball for many areas of the body, you want to go slow and roll across the fibers, stopping to contract and relax on tight spots. Another great one for the foot is to roll laterally across the bottom of your foot slowly with the lacrosse ball, from behind the ball for your foot to the heel.
for strengthening your wrists you can do fist pushups. We do this at my dojo all the time, because we punch so you need strong wrists for that.
Gotta get the pull-ups in. If you have shoulder impingement then dead hangs will open up the should joint and really help with the pain and restoring mobility and range of motion. Then throw in some pull ups to help strengthen the shoulder, and bingo you are riding stronger and more pain free.
Cool. Thanks for sharing!
Bloody hell, they're both absolutely built!!
Awesome workout!
It seems like Christina is hiding her final form and feigning ignorance simply for this video's sake 😂
Great video! I used to teach group fitness, specifically Body Pump (weightlifting) and the clean & press is challenging because it's so technical! I would suggest working with a trainer on that one or finding a video clip from Body Pump so you know you're doing it correctly to prevent injury. The most important cue (I think) is to lead on the way up with your elbows (like doing an upright row), keeping the bar CLOSE to your body. Use your legs to drive the bar above your head and absorb the bar when it comes back to your upper chest/collar bones). Keeping the bar close to your torso, flip your elbows back around to get back to set position. NEVER do a "reverse curl" with the bar on the way up or down (unless you want an injury).
Really good tips! I just stumbled across this video and as a strength coach it's great to see strength exercises in a MTB fitness video! Bodyweight and endurance exercises are good, but I think a lot of "endurance" sports neglect the importance of building a base of strength with the big compound exercises first, then moving into the sport-specific stuff. Especially with younger or new riders, this really helps build coordination, balance and confidence...things I lacked before I started lifting 😂
Awesome!
Damn Christina, very impressive!
This is not grim donut
i was gonna say...but you guys are on it already. lmao
Great workout! At the end I do a little push ups and abs!
Nice Video
Strong Lady👍
Maintenant faut se motiver 😁

Dude, Christina is a low-key baddy bro. Dayum.
Whaat, talking about actually training and not just buiyng new gear? :) ok Nice vid
How many people are going to go out and do that bosu board exercise and sprain an ankle, tear a knee or shoulder? He's a pro athlete, so he can do it. Kudo's on the rest of the exercises. All things the general public can do with a little coaching on form.
It's funny how every sport is now lifting the same way, i.e. deallift, squats, box jumps, cleans, etc. Basically everything he did (other than the bosu board thing) is applicable to all sports. Glad to see more people getting into the gym and taking it seriously.
Paul Lowe I’m 51 and I can do boss exercises!
@@chrism2983 it's not about age, it's about competence. Jumping onto a bosu board with a kettlebell that size opens up a lot of opportunities for injury. All sorts of joints are in an extended angle that if you are not careful, you could do some serious harm. Good for you that you can do that. I'm worried about people of all ages who don't have a background in weight training doing something like that because"the expert" did it. I've been teaching weight training to teenagers for over a decade and I would never have them do something like that because they wouldn't be able to handle it. Bosu board exercises are very good for injury prevention because they work stabilizer muscles. But they are a more advanced exercise than just using a barbell.
Of course, you could use a smaller weight or no weight at all, until you manage to be stable on the bosu ball. The kettlebell he used looks heavy, but these so called competition kettlebells all have the same size for different weights from for example 12 kg to 48 kg.
And he said the exercises he is doing in the gym are basic exercises, not every exercise is specific, you can call it GPP = general physical preparedness. No matter the sport you do, you have to train a lot compound and full body movements, especially in off-season, to stay healthy and strong in your daily life and to be prepared for more specific and advanced workouts and exercises.
Athletes don't deadlift, injury rates are too high.
Where’s the grim donut
0:14 Off season? Spring just started
Why is there no Grim Donut in this video?
So I noticed what is the ideal muscle build for Downhill racing or Freeriding
I see most of DH racers are mid muscle and I see Amaury was the only one like buff full of muscles
Amaury Pierron-Buff
Finn iles-Average muscle build
Loic Bruni-Average muscle build
Gregg Minnar-Average muscle build
Some Freeriders don’t even have muscles like I mean they are lean idk but they said muscles can protect you from crash and Freeriders crash frequently and most of Freeriders are hard gainers
Brandon Semenuk-Full of muscles but not that big
Jackson Riddle-Muscles seen because he is skinny af
Nicholi Rogatkin-Drinking beer almost got dad bod
Reed Boggs-Average
Adolf Silva-Average
Emil Johansson-Average
I just have a question on why it is so rare to see riders that are buff like Amaury Peirron wich muscles can save you from fracture
Dam Christina your arms and legs look sooo good!
Where is this? Looks like a gem of a gym!
Probably somewhere in Squamish
Just because "pumping iron" is synonymous with bodybuilding does not mean it is not beneficial. It can be done in a way that is extremely helpful for strength and endurance on a bike. Bands are a different type of lift but still a lift. It is all resistance and time under tension. Strengthening ligaments and building muscle/endurance. I think it would boil down to rep ranges and isolation movements vs compound. Often the people that don't really hit the gym are the first ones to talk down on and stereotype weightlifting.
Great points! There really aren't any videos that cover weight training for mountain bikers (even in the 2 years since this vid came out) and it really is a shame, because the benefits of learning the basic compound movements have such a HUGE carryover to everything...MTB is no exception. Endurance is obviously important but if you're an enduro or DH rider, building a solid base of strength working in the lower-moderate rep ranges should also be a focus! 👍
For those who never workout at the gym- please go to personal coach first.
This was a great video, but you guys need to edit the Front Squat scene where you hold the bar against your wrists instead of use your shoulders to support it! This is very dangerous! Don't give viewers the wrong idea that can send them to the ER!
I mainly workout at home since I don't have much time during the week. I have a home gym setup
which I think is more than adequate for me.
I'm a big believer in working out for Mountain Biking!! It's essential to stay in decent condition to be able to tackle the terrain even with bikes of today that do the grunt work for you!....Lol. I know people that just ride - good luck to them!...LOL.
Christina is a boss!
It's always good to see two guys training in the gym.
“All you need is the bands. Don’t even need to go to the gym and pump iron.”
Proceeds to pump iron for the remaining 99% of episode.
because pumping iron is better obviously...
What happened to the grim donut
Good things take time. 🍩
@@pinkbike At least I have a time frame
Pinkbike 1 Don’t lie to us, did Mike Levy eat it?
ze bar
Coming from a competitive powerlifting fitness background, they need to talk more about the correlation between hip extension and power output. That's literally everything on the bike from jumping, pumping, manuals, bunny hops...
Hip contact in the cleans is the point of the movement, and remy didn't even make contact. I'm gonna do a video explaining this. Hold uppppp
Great point, if you wanna build power as an athlete, it all starts with proper hip drive mechanics! I definitely see a lot of "endurance" sports neglect the importance of building a base of strength and power first before moving into the sport-specific exercises.
So how long is his regular gym workout? I’m wondering how much time I have to commit to do it right.
As he is a pro, probably pretty long, and he also probably have a coach to help him out. Program around what you want to do and the time you have. As for strength training, if you structure your sessions smart you could probably get away with 45-50 minutes per session.
I do about 2 minutes every day I need to do more though 😂😂
Christina is more muscular than Remy!
remy strong as hell tho
@@_systemd oh no doubt in that!
She's looks stronger than 85% of guys I know haha.
Remy is male, so probably he is still stronger.
Christina is pretty built herself. Her thigh looks like a deadly weapon!
damn she's strong.
You can see she works out. Just check her body alone, damn fit.
No, she´s not. Just a worked body. She can´t even lift her body and barely jumps to box. Poor vídeo.
If I got a dollar for each "basically" in this video, I could get myself a much needed set of mineral oil disc brakes
Remy is barely human on a bike. Before you do anything, ask yourself… “What Would Remy Do?” 🤙
Christina is UFC level fit 💪
👍👉💪
How many chin-ups can you do, people?
Bikers ought to take special effort to work muscles to "open" their shoulders and hips... to combat the position of driving cars... of sitting in front of computers... of riding bikes... that forward-compacted, front-leaning posture that we find ourselves in most times that we're not standing. How many of us even sleep in the "fetal position"?!?! ;)
Edit: it occurs to me that swimming could really fill the bill.
Good points! I just came across this vid and it was great to see actual big compound movements used in t MTB fitness video for once! But I agree with your point: with all the sitting we do (on bike and off) it's so important to devote enough time and energy on movements that extend the thoracic spine as well as the hips. Not just important for MTB but for any time of day you don't want to walk around with a hunchback 👍
It’s kind of funny spending years being in powerlifting and strength training then getting back into mountain biking after almost 10 years and seeing how clueless some professional mountain bikers are about strength training in general lol. This doesn’t really matter though because ultimately it doesn’t really matter that much except just maintaining general strength. It’s like people mocking professional football players not squatting to depth, they don’t need to 😂
Pedal on a stationary bike with one foot, 18 watts, for one minute, each side, for 4 sets each foot
Will give that a go 👍
i bet she could beat me in an arm wrestle
2:50 maybe it could be better to grab the bar with the whole hand
Appreciate the effort behind this video, but there a many fitness professionals with specific training in exercise prescription and instruction that could have contributed to this video. Remy did say to seek out a coach, but you didn’t use one in the video. Trying to be positive about it, but I think an opportunity was missed
The balance board with the kettle bell is not worth the risk for the reward!! It's too unpredictable and can cause serious injury!!
Rémy makes it look so easy, but truth is even Christina struggles to follow him..
Might be a good mtb. Lifts 🤦🏻♂️
Of course he has to work out so much they have to compensate for all that baggy clothing.
Lmao, you silly roadie 🙂 Take my like, didn't know your kind could joke 🤔
Christina looks pound for pound stronger than Remy
1st
want to be good at montainbike, be skinny
LMBO😆
Freaminf rofl if you ride enought you dont need to take gym bullshit
Jeez I saw this same crappy clean and press form in the privateer, in now way do you get the “same benefits”. Smh
Ask Gwin and Rude if they see benefit. When I over shoot or case a jump, I clearly see the benefits...
@@remymetailler yeah i bet they do and you do too. That variation is great for shoulder and arm stabilization when on the bike, but you sacrifice so much of the strength and explosiveness component by not practicing proper form. Proper form should always be mastered first in the gym before variations, doesn't matter who you are or what you're training for
@@Benjamin-mz6cb You can get explosiveness and strength as well. You can also get that from other exercises.
Rémy Métailler yes of course, there’s just very different benefits between your easy version and the correct form, we both know it’s not the same benefit
Yeah, I was going to comment that that wasn't a clean press. It was a pull and press. No triple joint extension, using the arms to move the bar rather than core and momentum. But everyone has to start somewhere. It could be that he wasn't taught correctly in the first place.
hint...feet are never going to be parallel with one another on the bike..but every exercise in this video has the feet in a "NON-BIKE" position...that makes 100% sense...NOT, but people can't get away from "previous knowledge" training. Why the heck are all of these exercises not done with one foot forward and both feet weighted equally? Cause pro mtber's and their trainers do not understand muscle physiology. Clean and press. Pull-ups...lats are critical but pull-ups are a 50 year old exercise for pull up strength. No virtually value to MTB.
