Tormented with a sore back? Here are 8 good exercises for the back that give more muscle strength, less pain and better function. Feel free to share with someone you know who has a bad back.
In combination with these exercises, we recommend increasing your daily exercise, for example in the form of walking in rough terrain or swimming. If you already have a diagnosis, we recommend that you check with your clinician (doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapist or similar) whether these exercises are suitable for you. Remember that you will also find several exercise programs on our YouTube channel (opens in new window) - and that you can watch videos of the exercises further down in the article.
1. «Folding knife» on therapy ball
This is an exercise that is very kind to the discs and vertebrae in the back. At the same time, it is very heavy and effective for the core muscles. This is an exercise that you must gradually get used to, especially if you are not used to exercising this way. If you find it difficult to do more repetitions, we advise you to start with as many as you can - and then gradually increase the number of repetitions as you get stronger.
A: Starting position for the exercise. Start with the legs of the therapy ball and your hands in the ground, as if you were pushing.
B: Slowly pull the ball under you. Then slowly return to the starting position.
The exercise is carried out with 8-10 repetitions over 3-4 sets.
2. "Monster walks" with elastic
"Monster walks" are a brilliant exercise for the knees, hips and pelvis. It combines what we have learned, and used, in the previous 5 exercises in a good way. After only a short time with this exercise, you will feel that it burns deep in the seat. For this exercise we recommend a Perform Better training tram (rose or green).
Find an exercise band (preferably adapted for this type of exercise - feel free to check our online store or ask us directly) that can be tied around both ankles as in a large circle. Then stand with your feet shoulder-width apart so that there is good resistance from the strap to your ankles. Then you should walk, while working to keep your legs shoulder-width apart, a bit like Frankenstein or a mummy - hence the name. The exercise is performed in 30-60 seconds over 2-3 sets.
3. Stretching of hamstrings and seat
The purpose of this exercise is to gain more flexibility in the hamstring muscles - muscles that are known to contribute to back problems if they are too tight. Lie flat on the floor with your back down, preferably on a training mat with support under your neck.
Then bend one leg toward the chest and then grip the back of the thigh with both hands. Stretch your leg in a controlled, calm motion, while pulling your leg toward you. Keep the clothing exercise for 20-30 seconds while taking deep breaths. Then bend your knee back and return to the starting position. Alternatively you can use a towel or the like to get extra stretch to the back of the thigh.
Repeat the exercise 2-3 times on each side.
It is quickly made to forget how important the seat muscles are for both hip and knee stability. Strong gluteal muscles reduce pressure and strain on the back.
The bridge is done by lying on your back with your legs bent and your feet flat on the ground, with your arms resting along the side. Your back should be in a neutral curve. Feel free to warm up the seat by performing some light exercises - where you simply tighten the seat muscles, hold it for about 5 seconds and release again. This is an activation exercise that tells the muscles that you plan to use it soon - which in turn can lead to more proper use during exercise, and reduce the chance of muscle damage. When you're ready, do the exercise by pulling the seat muscles together, before lifting the pelvis and hip up against the ceiling. Make sure you perform the exercise by pressing through the heels. Raise the pelvis to the back is in a neutral position, not over-curved, and then slowly lower back to the starting position. The exercise is performed 8-15 repetitions, about 2-3 sets.
5. Yoga Exercise: Urdhvamukhasvanasana (Scouting dog position)
This yoga position opens up the chest, stretches the abdominal muscles and activates the back in a good way. Start by lying flat on the floor with your palms down the floor approximately in the middle of the ribs. Then pull your legs together and press the top of your feet pressed against the floor - at the same time use the force from your back, not your hands, to lift your chest off the floor - you should feel that it stretches slightly in the back - make sure you do not take in too much . Keep your legs straight and hold the position for 5 to 10 deep breaths. Repeat as many times as you think is necessary.
Lying stretch of the seat and lower back
This exercise stretches the gluteal muscles and piriformis - the latter is a muscle that is often involved in back pain and pelvic pain. Lie flat on the floor with your back down, preferably on an exercise mat with support under your neck. Then bend the right leg and place it over the left thigh. Then grab the left thigh or right leg and gently pull towards you until you feel that it stretches deep on the back of the thigh and the gluteal muscles on the side that you stretch. Hold the strain for 30 seconds. Then repeat on the other side. Performed over 2-3 sets on each side.
7. Back lift
Back lifting is one of the few exercises that has proven effect on causing hypertrophy (greater muscle mass) in the lumbar multifids. The multifids have become more and more recognized as some of the most important, injury-preventing back muscles we have. They are also called deep, paraspinal muscles, which reflects that they sit at the bottom of the spine - and thus in many ways is considered our first defense against acute back problems.
reps: 5 reps x 3 sets or 10 reps x 3 sets (see how many you manage and then select one of the sets).
8. Leg to chest (exercise for lower back and seat)
This exercise aims to increase the movement of the lower back and stretch the muscles of the seat and lower back. Lie flat on the floor with your back down, preferably on a training mat with support under your neck. Pull your legs up against you until they are in a bent position.
Then bend one leg up against you until you feel it stretch gently in the seat and lower back. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds and repeat 3 times on each side.
Alternatively, you can bend both legs up to the chest - but we recommend using it only when you have less pain, as it puts slightly higher pressure on the discs in the lower back.

What can I do even for back pain?
1. General exercise, specific exercise, stretching and activity are recommended, but stay within the pain limit. Two walks a day of 20-40 minutes make good for the whole body and sore muscles.
2. Trigger point / massage balls we strongly recommend - they come in different sizes so you can hit well even on all parts of the body. There is no better self help than this! We recommend the following (click the image below) - which is a complete set of 5 trigger point / massage balls in different sizes:
3. Training: Specific training with training tricks of various opponents (such as this complete set of 6 knits of different resistance) can help you train strength and function. Knit training often involves more specific training, which in turn can lead to more effective injury prevention and pain reduction.
4. Pain Relief - Cooling: Biofreeze is a natural product that can relieve pain by cooling the area gently. Cooling is especially recommended when the pain is very severe. When they have calmed down then heat treatment is recommended - it is therefore advisable to have both cooling and heating available.
5. Pain Relief - Heating: Warming up tight muscles can increase blood circulation and reduce pain. We recommend the following reusable hot / cold gasket (click here to read more about it) - which can be used both for cooling (can be frozen) and for heating (can be heated in the microwave).

Prince Textreme Pro Warrior 600 Ramy Ashour
The Prince Textreme Pro Warrior 600 Ramy Ashour belongs to Prince's new Pro series. All rackets in this series have a low weight and guarantee unrivalled strength, response and control. This is one of the latest rackets by Prince and it offers its owner an excellent mix of power and precision. The racket is used by the former world number 1 and three times world champion Ramy Ashour who is known for his amazing attacking game and impressive nick shots.
This featherlight racket weighs 129 grams and has a Power Level of 600. The racket requires a good technique from its owner but offers a lot of ball speed and control in return. The high balance point of 35,3 cm allows you to give a lot of acceleration to the ball despite the low weight of the frame. The Prince Textreme Pro Warrior 600 Ramy Ashour has a head of 480 cm2 and offers a good mix of power and feel. The medium-sized sweet spot (= the ideal place to hit the ball) ensures sufficient control and the closed string pattern of 16 x 17 guarantees even more precision.
TeXtreme has been added in two carefully chosen places in the frame where the most impact occurs during a shot. TeXtreme has been used for years in Formula 1, road bikes, surfboards and so on, and now squash racket manufacturers have finally decided to benefit from this material which is stiffer and 20% lighter than carbon. TeXtreme increases the stability of the top of the racket and this results in more control, extra power and an excellent feeling.
In addition, the Prince Textreme Pro Warrior 600 Ramy Ashour is equipped with the revolutionary PowerRing. In the neck of the frame, the longitudinal strings are wrapped around an inverted ring, allowing the strings to move more freely. The resilience of the string bed is increased, resulting in unprecedented strength!

Golf is a game that requires precision, accuracy, and power. Driving is one of the most important aspects of the game, as it sets the tone for the entire round. Driving distance is particularly crucial, as it determines how far you can hit the ball off the tee, setting up shorter approaches and giving you an advantage over the competition. In this article, we will explore the best tips and techniques for improving your driving distance in golf, helping you to become a more formidable force on the course.
Understanding the Basics of Golf Driving
Golf swing mechanics
When it comes to improving your driving distance in golf, understanding the mechanics of a proper golf swing is crucial. Here are some key components to focus on:
- The role of the legs, hips, and torso
- Legs: It’s important to keep your legs strong and flexible for a powerful swing. They provide the foundation for your swing and help you maintain balance and stability.
- Hips: Your hips play a critical role in transferring power from your lower body to your upper body during the swing. Rotating your hips correctly can help you generate more speed and distance.
- Torso: Keeping your torso stable and aligned with your target is essential for a consistent and accurate drive. Avoid twisting or rotating your torso during the swing, as this can cause a loss of power and control.
- The proper grip and stance
- Grip: A firm but relaxed grip on the golf club is key. Hold the club with your dominant hand near the bottom of the handle and your non-dominant hand near the top. Keep your fingers in the middle of the grip for maximum control.
- Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your front foot pointing at your target. Your weight should be evenly distributed on both feet, with your front foot slightly bent at the knee for flexibility.
- The swing sequence
- Backswing: Begin by turning your shoulders and hips away from your target, keeping your arms and hands in line with your torso. Slowly lift the club up and back, keeping it parallel to the ground.
- Transition: As you approach the top of your backswing, begin to shift your weight onto your back foot and rotate your hips and torso towards your target.
- Downswing: Bring the club down towards the ball, keeping it in line with your body. Use your legs and hips to generate power and transfer it to your arms and hands. Release the clubhead through impact and follow through towards your target.
By focusing on these mechanics and practicing them consistently, you can improve your driving distance in golf and achieve greater success on the course.
Ball flight laws
In order to improve your driving distance in golf, it is important to understand the basics of ball flight laws. These laws determine how the ball will travel through the air based on various factors such as spin loft angle, angle of attack, and ball speed.
Spin Loft Angle
The spin loft angle refers to the angle at which the ball is struck in relation to the clubface. A lower spin loft angle will result in a lower, hooking ball flight, while a higher spin loft angle will result in a higher, slicing ball flight. By adjusting the spin loft angle, you can control the trajectory of the ball and potentially increase your driving distance.
Angle of Attack
The angle of attack refers to the angle at which the clubhead strikes the ball. A steeper angle of attack will result in a higher, more piercing ball flight, while a shallower angle of attack will result in a lower, more spinning ball flight. By adjusting the angle of attack, you can control the trajectory of the ball and potentially increase your driving distance.
Ball speed is the speed at which the ball is traveling when it is struck by the club. The faster the ball is traveling, the farther it will go. There are several factors that can affect ball speed, including the clubhead speed, the sweet spot of the club, and the ball’s initial velocity. By increasing ball speed, you can potentially increase your driving distance.
In conclusion, understanding the basics of ball flight laws is crucial for improving your driving distance in golf. By adjusting the spin loft angle, angle of attack, and ball speed, you can control the trajectory of the ball and potentially increase your driving distance.
Building a Solid Foundation for Your Drive
Warm-up and stretching
Importance of flexibility and mobility
In golf, having a good range of motion and flexibility is crucial to hitting a powerful and accurate drive. The better your mobility, the more efficiently you can swing the club and transfer your power to the ball. Furthermore, good flexibility can help you maintain proper posture and alignment throughout your swing, which can lead to straighter and longer drives.
Stretching exercises for golfers
There are several stretching exercises that golfers can do to improve their flexibility and mobility. Some examples include:
- Hamstring stretches: Sit on the ground with your legs extended in front of you and reach forward to touch your toes. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds and repeat several times.
- Quad stretches: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and raise one foot onto a bench or step. Gently lean forward until you feel a stretch in your quadriceps and hold for 15-30 seconds. Repeat on the other side.
- Triceps stretches: Extend one arm in front of you and bend your elbow at a 90-degree angle. Gently push your arm down toward the ground, feeling the stretch in your triceps. Hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.
- Upper back stretches: Cross your arms over your chest and lean forward slightly, feeling the stretch in your upper back. Hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat.
It’s important to note that stretching should be done gradually and gently, without bouncing or pushing beyond the point of comfort. Holding stretches for at least 15-30 seconds can help to increase flexibility over time.
Developing a pre-shot routine
Having a pre-shot routine can help you mentally prepare for your swing and increase your driving distance. A pre-shot routine can include visualizing your shot, taking practice swings, and setting up to the ball. The key is to find a routine that works for you and stick to it.
Visualization techniques can help you improve your driving distance by picturing the perfect shot in your mind. This can include imagining the ball flying straight and far down the fairway, or visualizing the club making solid contact with the ball. The more vividly you can picture the shot, the more likely you are to perform well on the course.
Confidence is a key factor in improving your driving distance. If you believe you can hit the ball far and straight, you are more likely to do so. One way to build confidence is to focus on your strengths and past successes. You can also try visualizing success and reminding yourself of your ability to hit the ball well. Additionally, positive self-talk can help you build confidence and perform at your best.
Mastering the Fundamentals of Golf Driving
Accurate ball striking
- The role of the hands, arms, and shoulders
The hands, arms, and shoulders play a crucial role in accurate ball striking. The hands are responsible for controlling the clubhead, while the arms act as a lever to generate power. The shoulders, on the other hand, provide stability and help in transferring energy to the clubhead. To achieve accurate ball striking, it is essential to keep the hands, arms, and shoulders in sync and working together.
- The impact zone
The impact zone is the point where the clubhead meets the ball. To strike the ball accurately, it is crucial to aim the clubface at the intended target and maintain a consistent swing path. The impact zone is also where the ball’s spin and backspin are generated, which can affect the ball’s trajectory and distance. Therefore, it is essential to hit the ball in the center of the impact zone to achieve accurate ball striking.
- Maintaining a square clubface
A square clubface is essential for accurate ball striking. It ensures that the ball is hit in the intended direction and that the ball’s spin and backspin are consistent. To maintain a square clubface, it is essential to align the clubface with the intended target and keep it square throughout the swing. A square clubface also helps in maintaining a consistent ball flight and achieving a straight drive.
Increasing clubhead speed
- Proper body positioning
- Ensure that your body is aligned with your target
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your weight evenly distributed on your feet
- Keep your knees slightly bent, allowing for better balance and flexibility
- Developing explosiveness
- Utilize explosive movements, such as jumping or using explosive leg muscles, to generate power
- Focus on the quick transfer of weight from your legs to your upper body during the swing
- Practice explosive swings with light clubs or practice swings to develop muscle memory
- Maximizing leverage
- Utilize the leverage of your body and the golf club to increase clubhead speed
- Keep your arms extended during the swing, using your body to provide the power
- Utilize your core muscles to provide stability and maintain a solid swing
By focusing on these fundamentals, you can increase your clubhead speed and improve your driving distance in golf. Remember to practice regularly and make small adjustments to your technique to achieve the best results.
Consistent ball contact
- Developing a feel for the swing
- Experimenting with different grip and stance options
- Paying attention to the position of the hands, wrists, and body during the swing
- Using mirrors or video recordings to analyze and refine your swing
- Solidifying impact
- Focusing on maintaining a consistent swing speed and tempo
- Paying attention to the point of impact between the club and ball
- Using proper body alignment and weight distribution to maximize power and accuracy
- Improving ball-striking skills
- Practicing with different types of shots, such as draws and fades
- Incorporating target practice to develop accuracy and distance control
- Working on your mental game to stay focused and calm under pressure
By mastering these fundamentals, you can improve your driving distance in golf by developing a feel for the swing, solidifying impact, and improving ball-striking skills. With consistent ball contact, you can hit the ball with more power and accuracy, resulting in longer drives and better overall performance on the course.
Strengthening Your Golf Driving Skills
Incorporating power-building exercises
To increase your driving distance in golf, it’s essential to incorporate power-building exercises into your fitness routine. These exercises are designed to improve your overall strength and power, which will help you generate more speed and distance when hitting the ball. Here are some examples of power-building exercises that you can include in your training:
Resistance bands and weights
Resistance bands and weights are excellent tools for building strength and power in your arms, shoulders, and back. They can be used to perform a variety of exercises, such as bicep curls, shoulder presses, and deadlifts. These exercises can help strengthen the muscles used in the golf swing, including the muscles in your arms, shoulders, and back.
Core exercises for stability
Core exercises are crucial for improving your stability and balance during the golf swing. A strong core helps you maintain a stable lower body, which allows you to transfer power more efficiently from your lower body to your arms and hands. Examples of core exercises include planks, sit-ups, and Russian twists.
Strengthening the upper body
In addition to your core, it’s important to strengthen your upper body, including your arms, shoulders, and back. These muscles are essential for generating power and speed in your golf swing. Exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, and rows can help strengthen these muscles and improve your overall driving distance.
By incorporating these power-building exercises into your fitness routine, you can improve your overall strength and power, which will help you hit the ball further and with more accuracy. Remember to start with lighter weights and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger. Consistency is key when it comes to seeing improvements in your golf game, so be sure to incorporate these exercises into your routine regularly.
Perfecting your technique
Perfecting your technique is essential for improving your driving distance in golf. Here are some tips to help you perfect your technique:

Refining Your Golf Driving Form for Maximum Distance
Addressing swing flaws
Golfers often struggle with their driving distance due to a variety of swing flaws that can reduce the power and accuracy of their shots. By identifying and correcting these flaws, golfers can improve their driving distance and consistency. In this section, we will discuss how to address common swing issues and practice new movements to enhance your driving distance.
Identifying Common Swing Issues
The leaning or swaying problem
One of the most common swing issues that can affect driving distance is leaning or swaying during the swing. This occurs when the golfer loses their posture and leans away from the target, which can lead to a loss of power and control. To correct this issue, golfers should focus on maintaining a stable and upright posture throughout the swing, with their weight evenly distributed on both feet.
The casting problem
Casting is another common swing issue that can reduce driving distance. This occurs when the golfer extends their arms away from their body during the backswing, which can cause a loss of power and control. To correct this issue, golfers should focus on keeping their arms close to their body throughout the swing, with their elbows bent and hands positioned near the body.
The hands problem
Hands are also a critical component of the golf swing, and problems with the hands can significantly impact driving distance. Golfers who grip the club too tightly or release it too quickly can lose power and control. To correct this issue, golfers should focus on using a light grip pressure and keeping their hands relaxed throughout the swing.
Correcting the Flaws
Once you have identified the swing issues that are affecting your driving distance, it’s time to start correcting them. This may involve making changes to your swing mechanics, such as adjusting your posture or changing your grip, or it may require you to practice new movements until they become second nature.
The importance of practice
Practice is key to correcting swing flaws and improving your driving distance. Golfers should focus on practicing their swing in a controlled environment, such as a driving range or a practice green, where they can work on specific aspects of their swing without worrying about the pressure of playing a round.
The importance of patience
It’s important to remember that correcting swing flaws and improving your driving distance takes time and patience. Golfers should be patient with themselves and avoid making changes to their swing too quickly. Instead, they should focus on making small, incremental improvements over time, and celebrate their successes along the way.
Practicing New Movements
Once you have identified and corrected the swing flaws that are affecting your driving distance, it’s time to start practicing new movements that will enhance your power and control. This may involve incorporating new techniques, such as using a driver with a larger clubhead or experimenting with different ball positions, or it may require you to practice specific drills that focus on key aspects of your swing, such as your backswing or downswing.
The importance of consistency
Consistency is key to improving your driving distance. Golfers should focus on practicing new movements in a consistent manner, such as practicing their swing several times a week or incorporating swing exercises into their daily routine. This will help to reinforce the new movements and make them second nature, allowing you to maintain your improved driving distance over time.
Mastering the downswing
One of the most crucial aspects of improving your driving distance in golf is mastering the downswing. This is the stage where you transition from the backswing to the forward swing, and it is critical to maintain control and power throughout this movement. Here are some tips to help you master the downswing:
- Accelerating through impact
- It is essential to accelerate through impact to maintain speed and power throughout the downswing. To achieve this, focus on keeping your arms and hands loose, allowing them to swing naturally. This will help you to maintain a consistent speed and power throughout the swing.
- Separating the hands and body
- Another important aspect of mastering the downswing is separating the hands and body. As you approach impact, the hands should be ahead of the body, creating a natural separation. This separation allows the hands to continue to release through impact, promoting a smooth and powerful downswing.
- Keeping the lower body stable
- While the upper body is responsible for generating power, the lower body plays a crucial role in maintaining stability and control. As you swing, focus on keeping your lower body stable and grounded, preventing any unwanted movements that could disrupt your swing.
By mastering the downswing, you can improve your driving distance in golf and enhance your overall performance on the course. Remember to practice these techniques regularly and incorporate them into your swing, and you’ll be well on your way to hitting longer and straighter drives.
Finishing with a flourish
As the final stage of your golf drive, the finish is crucial in maximizing your driving distance. The following are the key elements to keep in mind when finishing with a flourish:
Extending through the ball
Extending through the ball is an essential component of a powerful and accurate drive. To do this, you should aim to keep your left arm straight as you make contact with the ball, using your shoulder turn to generate power. This will ensure that you can hit the ball with maximum force and distance.
Maintaining balance and control
Maintaining balance and control throughout your swing is critical to maximizing your driving distance. As you swing, focus on keeping your weight centered over your feet, and avoid leaning too far forward or backward. This will help you maintain control of your body and club, and ensure that you can make solid contact with the ball.
Embracing the follow-through
The follow-through is an important part of any golf shot, as it helps to ensure that your body and club are in the correct position for the next part of your swing. When finishing your drive, focus on keeping your arms and hands relaxed, and continue to extend through the ball until your arms are fully extended. This will help you maintain control of your body and club, and ensure that you can make solid contact with the ball.
Overall, by paying attention to these key elements of your finish, you can improve your driving distance in golf and achieve more accurate shots.
1. What are the factors that affect driving distance in golf?
There are several factors that can affect driving distance in golf, including the speed and angle of the clubhead, the ball’s initial velocity, and the spin rate of the ball. Additionally, the golf ball’s composition and the golfer’s physical strength and technique can also play a role in driving distance.
2. How can I increase my driving distance in golf?
One way to increase driving distance in golf is to use a longer, lighter shaft and a larger, more forgiving driver head. Additionally, using a proper grip and stance, keeping your body aligned with your target, and using a smooth, controlled swing can all help increase driving distance.
3. Is there a specific technique for driving the ball further in golf?
There are several techniques that can help increase driving distance in golf. One is to use a “swing down” technique, where the golfer swings the club down and around, keeping the clubhead speed high and the ball on the sweet spot for as long as possible. Another technique is to use a “hit up” approach, where the golfer takes a more upright stance and uses a descending blow to launch the ball.
4. Can changing my golf ball affect my driving distance?
Yes, changing your golf ball can have an impact on your driving distance. Golf balls with a higher compression rating and lower spin rate can travel further and straighter, while those with a lower compression rating and higher spin rate may provide more control but less distance.
5. Is practice the key to improving driving distance in golf?
Practice is definitely important for improving driving distance in golf. However, it’s also important to make sure you’re using proper technique and equipment, and to pay attention to factors like course conditions and wind direction. Regular practice and attention to these factors can help you improve your driving distance over time.

Building lean muscle takes hard work, dedication, consistency and time but what if you're putting in the work and not seeing the results?
Find out how these 4 tips can help you build muscle fast.
Increase in energy input
Building muscle requires a positive energy balance, meaning you consume more calories than you burn. However, to ensure you are building lean muscle mass, it is crucial that the nutrients you are consuming will nourish your body and allow for best hypertrophy results.
PranaOn’s Natural Mass is the ultimate mass gainer stacked with both complex and simple carbohydrates, three plant based protein sources and healthy fats from coconut MCTs and flax. With added creatine, glutamine and branch chain amino acids, the blend is designed to boost muscle gains and accelerate recovery for maximum results.
Ensuring you consume enough protein is a key aspect in the nutrition behind muscle gain. The more protein your body stores, the larger your muscles can grow. Aim to consume around 2.2g/kg of body weight.
Natural Mass contains 30g of protein per serve, allowing you to hit those protein targets easily.
Also, don’t forget to eat more on your “rest days”, as these are the days where the most of your muscle growth takes place (the Recovery Phase), especially protein rich foods.
Increase in training volumeTo build muscle fast, take advantage of exercises that challenge multiple joints and muscles simultaneously eg dumbbell row. Using multiple muscle groups allow you to lift more weight, which is a stimulator of growth. Muscle hypertrophy comes from progressive overload, so continually challenging yourself whether that be increase in weight or increase in sets will build muscle mass.
Train hard and heavy, with both concentric and eccentric muscle movements, on your workout days. Allow yourself rest days, avoid strenuous weight training back-to-back as constantly training to the point of exhaustion will be counterproductive to the recovery you need for muscle growth.
Assistance of amino acid Leucine and Creatine
Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine (BCAAs) make up about one-third of muscle protein. Therefore, consuming BCAA’s when building muscle can assist you in hitting your goals faster. Leucine is known to stimulate protein synthesis in muscles, and muscle building.
The consumption of BCAAs in 2:1:1 ratio Leucine, Iso-Leucine and Valine respectively, before or during endurance exercise may prevent protein degradation and improve physical performance. Our Natural Mass Protein contains that ideal ratio for both muscle growth and recovery.
We also have a new formula of Intra Strength that is specifically created with aminos acids, electrolytes and vitamins, giving your body what it needs to push your workout to the next level and achieve the muscle gain you desire.
The amino Creatine Monohydrate also aids in muscle hypertrophy and increased exercise performance by helping your body produce more ATP to fuel your muscles during explosive movements or when you’re hitting the weights hard. PranaOn’s Creatine Monohydrate is vegan friendly and made using the highest, premium quality Creapure™.
There is no point of the heavy training and nutrition if you’re not resting and allowing your muscles to recover with a good nights sleep, at least 8 hours. When you do strength exercises such as weight lifting, you create small tears in your muscles, which are repaired during sleep, making your muscle gain more effective.
As you sleep, the pituitary gland releases Growth Hormone, which stimulates your body to produce insulin-like growth factor. This is essential for muscle repair and growth. Therefore, more sleep = more muscle recovery and gains.
By inlcuding all 4 tips into your training routine, your body is able to build and maintain muscle mass over time. Remember this is not an overnight process, goals like this take time, hard work, consistency and comittment.

When daylight is to a minimum or the weather really stinks, a turbo trainer can be a good way of maintaining your fitness and getting you ready for the next big ride or race. The CycleOps JetFluid Pro is an expensive investment but for those serious about their fitness, it’s a dependable bit of kit.
The key of the JetFluid is the PowerTuned flywheel that makes it feel just like you’re riding on the road. It’s very smooth and the power curve is consistent. There’s no manual setting of the resistance, instead you simply use the gears on your bike and the harder you pedal, the higher the resistance the flywheel provides. It’s a very consistent power curve.
Because the flywheel is very well cooled and operates at lower temperatures, it’s very quiet, which is handy if you live in a flat and have other people living in close proximity. I’ve used turbo trainers in the past that sound like an aeroplane is taking off in your kitchen. It’s also very sturdy, the folding metal frame is reassuringly heavy and stays planted on the floor even during the most intense workouts. The left leg can also be extended to level things out if used on an uneven floor.
The Quick-Lock cam lever is fast and easy to use and it takes a matter of minutes to fit the bicycle into the trainer. It can accommodate wheel sizes from 650c to 29in, making it ideal for road cyclists and mountain bikers alike. I use mine mostly with a road bike, but there’s nothing to stop you slapping your mountain bike in it or your commuting flat-bar bike. If you’re going to use a mountain bike, it’s best to fit a slick tyre to the wheel for the best performance.
The price sets it apart from the entry-level trainers and yes it sure is expensive (though you can spend a lot more). I’ve been using this actual trainer for the past couple of winters and it’s been absolutely reliable. I’ve used cheaper trainers but they’re commonly very noisy and not that stable, and the feeling of the JetFluid’s resistance makes it worth the extra investment. If you’re planning to make turbo sessions a frequent part of your training, then I reckon it’s worth spending the extra.
They’re not a lot of fun, and commonly referred to as tortuous. And that they are. But what they are is an invaluable method of maintaining and improving fitness when you can’t face the outdoors, or you want to do some very structured and specific sessions. It’s never going to replace riding outdoors, it’s not trying to do that, but if you want to supplement your outdoor riding with some hard indoor sessions, the JetFluid Pro is a highly commendable trainer.
Very smooth and realistic riding experience that is extremely quiet and accommodates any road or mountain bike wheel size.
More information: CycleOps JetFluid Pro Turbo Trainer
What CycleOps says:
- PowerTuned technology provides smooth, realistic accelerations and inertia.
- Cooler operating temperature delivers long-lasting performance and stable progressive power .
- Pro Series frame offers quick installation and removal of bike with ability to lock resistance unit in place for transport and storage.

Since the tragic events of 2015 NRR have taken to running with high vis' tops illuminated with lights so that all of our runners can be seen from a distance in the dark.
Winter Running with NRR
When it is dark anyone who runs with us on a club night must wear a high vis' top as a safety measure.
Summer Running with NRR
During the summer months we ask all who run with us to continue to ensure that their clothing is bright and visible to road users. You don't need to wear a reflective bib simply a brightly coloured hi-viz t-shirt will get you noticed! Be safe-Be seen = runningsafe ;-)
Running in the dark
Obviously running in the dark or at anytime for that matter has certain hazards which we as a club try to minimise in order to make it as safe and enjoyable as possible.

It might be the middle of summer (in the northern hemisphere anyway) but 2020 snowboard gear is coming out now.
This time of year always gets me itching for the season – even though snow feels like it’s a long way off!
As always, the new season’s gear always gets me excited and there’s plenty to be excited about with the 2020 models. I had the privilege of testing a bunch of gear in the winter/spring and will of course be publishing all the reviews for that gear over the rest of the year.

I’ve got nothing against summer, but still….bring on the snow!
Rob Wagner says
I’m heading to Kicking Horse BC this upcoming season and thinking about buying a new board. Can you recommend a board built for free riding that holds up in powder (fingers crossed) and can take on natural hits/trees. I’m 6’2″, 235 lbs (planning to lose 10-20 before the trip) and a size 12/13 boot. I’m an intermediate-advanced/intermediate rider. I’m interested to hear your recommendations. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for your message.
Based on everything, I like the idea of the YES Pick Your Line, Burton Flight Attendant or GNU Mullair, for what you’re describing. Great freeride boards and you don’t have to be an expert to ride them – they are good for that intermediate bordering on advanced level – and also good for natural hits and riding in trees (and like any good freeride board, do well in powder). You can check out the following:
>> My Top 5 Freeride Snowboards
But I think those 3 are the best options for you from that list.
Assuming around 220lbs, and with a size 12/13 boot (and taking into account ability/trees/powder), I would look at the following sizes:
FA: 162W – can be ridden a little shorter than something like the PYL as it has more effective edge vs overall length – so riding this in 162W is similar to riding PYL in 164W
Hope this helps with your decision
I’m dying to hear what you think of the Annex. I’m eyeing it for something inbetween my Slush Slasher and Capita Mercury.
Look forward to the review on the new Union bindings. Going to be moving away from Burton for boots and bindings this season as the boots don’t retain flex long enough and can’t center my bindings very well with a fixed heel cup. In between sizes like 10.5 and 11 seem a tough fit that way.
i m looking forward for your flux dsw review ;-)… i think you wrote somwhere, that you had a ride on it @ a demo? 👌
Yep, demo for the Flux DSW in the works. Rode them in the spring. I haven’t ridden a bad Flux binding and DSW were no exception.
thats what i hopped to hear :-)… equaly i m looking forward to your full review… also how you see the binding to ohters in flux’s line, as the ds or the stiffer bindings like xf, xv. in terms of stiffness they rate the dsw as high as the xf i think.
also i m looking forward for the capita equalizer board by jess kimura, for a shred companera…
greets and please go on with your great work,
Looking forward to the new Yes boards – especially the Hybrid if it’s shorter wider PYL
I haven’t post my review for it yet, but I loved the Hybrid. Great board!
I’d love to see a review on the Lib Tech BRD.
Hi Nate (great name by the way!)
I haven’t ridden the BRD, but I will see if I can get a chance to early season. But even if I do I wouldn’t be likely to have a review out until early December at the earliest.
Nathan Gilford says
Looking forward to it! I’m a 30 year old 195lb beginnermediate with a size 8 boot and am looking to pick up a snowboard next season. I’m planning on progressing and am mainly interested in carving, buttering, side hits, and (to a lesser extent) powder. I ride in Southern Utah. Do you have any recommendations that would fit the bill?
If you can let me know your height as well, that would be great. Even though it’s not as important a factor as it used to be it’s still a factor, IMO. Then I can more accurately find a board/size that would work for you.
Nathan Lewis Gilford says
I’m 5’7. I tend to be 195 at my heaviest and 180 at my lightest.
Thanks for the extra info.
Length-wise, I would say something in the range 154 to 156 as a beginnermediate (like the term by the way!) and doing sidehits, butters etc. Longer is better for carving and powder, but shorter better for those side-hits and butters. This is also taking into account ability level.
In terms of width, with 8s you might need to make some compromise on width – which might make the lower end of that length range better (shorter boards tend to also be narrower, and sizing down a little makes up a bit for a board that might be a little too wide).
In terms of the type of board, something all-mountain-freestyle sounds like it would suit you well. Not as good in powder typically but you can ride any board in powder, particularly if it’s shallow powder. If you were going to be riding a lot of deep powder, then you’d want something else, but I think from what you’re describing, you’d be good with an all-mountain freestyle. Also taking into account ability level, with an eye to progressing, the following would work well for you.
– Capita Outerspace Living 154 – particularly good for that beginner going on intermediate level and better in powder than the average all-mtn-freestyle
– GNU Rider’s Choice 154.5 – better in powder than the average all-mtn-freestyle
– Never Summer Funslinger – softer and more freestyle oriented than the 2 above, you loose a little in terms of riding at speed and powder, but the most buttery of this list
– Never Summer Proto Type Two – loose a bit in terms of powder vs the first 2, gain back some speed vs the Funslinger at the cost of butterability (but as buttery as the first 2)
– Salomon Assassin – good in powder for an all-mtn-freestyle like the first 2
– YES Typo – on the border of being more all-mountain than all-mountain-freestyle – but on the freestyle end of all-mountain if that makes sense. But still great for side-hits, as buttery as everything else (bar the Funslinger) and as good in powder as the OSL, Rider’s Choice and Assassin – and a very good option for beginner going on intermediate too. Or go YES Basic for something a little less in powder, but more buttery
The OSL and Typo both feature in my >>Top 10 Intermediate Snowboards so that’s something to consider. But everything else there are solid choices too, IMO. The Funslinger (and YES Basic) is the most buttery if you want to maximize that aspect.
Hope this gives you more to go off for your decision

Ride onboard with Josep Garcia for the fastest outright run up the Erzbergrodeo Iron Road Prologue – this is insane.
As ever with Garcia, riding onboard with him is a lesson in technique and in particular how often he takes a different line entering corners.
Honestly, there are moments when this looks like someone pressed fast-forward. Check out also the moment when Pep catches Dieter Rudolf and they go for the same piece of track…

JB’s Mosaic MTB
In April, we built Jess Birch a beautiful Mosaic MT-2 to ride up in the Catskills.
Jess is a longtime supporter of Redbeard, one of our very first ride leaders, a wonderful friend, an outdoorsman, a musician, and an entrepreneur (@goodhandsdrumshop).
Jess, we are so excited for the adventures this bike makes possible for you!
“So happy to have this incredible machine! It’s a powerful climber, a pillowy, comfortable ride, and oh so good to look at. What a life changer!” says Jess.
Jess has been riding road and gravel for twenty years — including a Mosaic Cycles RT-2 we built him in 2016 — but he hasn’t had a mountain bike since high school. New era!
Expand your territory. Extend your season on either end: winter and summer. Reach deeper fishing spots. With a Mosaic mountain bike. The first step is a bike fitting at Redbeard Bikes. Get in touch: [email protected]
The Mosaic MT-2 is everything a hardtail should be — nothing more, nothing less. Dare we call it a “downcountry” hardtail? Maybe. We just think it’s fun to ride.
The guiding principle behind our latest titanium mountain bike is versatility. The result is a bike that’s confident on steep drop-ins, without wandering and wallowing on the climb back up.
If you’re the type of mountain biker that wants to do it all, then the MT-2 is made for it.

There’s a great deal of individuals available who really feel that you could not potentially develop lean muscular tissue mass with bodyweight exercise. However, do you truly assume that going from 1pullup to 5 pullups isn’t visiting make your body stronger and larger? Lean Hybrid Muscle Review mass with bodyweight exercise is feasible, but just calls for a slightly various technique.
When you go to Google and also key in “muscle building” or “develop muscle in your home” you’ll probably being some body builder program usingdumbbells as well as expensive equipment. Well, suppose you don’t want to join a fitness center or spend lots of money on expensive tools?
You do not need to.

And regular people like you and I were able to lose fat and build lean muscular tissue mass with bodyweight exercises method prior to muscular tissue journals started telling us to eat their pointless supplements.
The Fundamentals of Structure Muscular tissue
Here’s something that the majority of people don’t tell you: your body does not actually know just how much weight it’s training. Are you severe? I mean, did you actually assume that your body, your actual muscular tissue cells, not your brain, knows the distinction in between 30 as well as 50lbs?
Well, it sort of does, but this difference is about the stamina and dimension of those muscle cells. 30 pounds to my muscle mass tissues really feels a lot various compared to 30lbs to your muscle mass cells. Do you understand here? Your body only recognizes stress. Thus, find a means to place fantastic anxiety on your body, and you’ll make grow stronger and also larger.
Now, one of the most apparent method of putting tension on the body is to add weights. However, we’re making use of bodyweight workouts below. So, exactly how do you include higher tension to your body with bodyweight movements? Well, normally, make the workout more difficult.
The best ways to Make your Movements more Difficult
There are a number of methods you can make your bodyweight exercises harder. The most typical technique is to make it more explosive. This is typically utilized with basicpushups as well as squats. The push-up is exchanged a much more eruptive plyometric or “clap” pushup.
Squats become squat dives. The 2nd technique is to develop hybrid movements. Crossbreeds are where you combine 2 workouts to create a new one. Once more, push-ups as well as squats are often incorporated to form squat thrusts and also burpees. Burpees, are a more explosive version of the squat drive.

The most underrated method of training that will give you the biggest gains
Traditional knowledge surrounding fitness is traditional for a reason. The conventional wisdom has stood the test of time because it has led t extremely pleasing results for men and women who have devoted themselves to the gym.
But what if you don’t have time to devote yourself to the gym? What if you barely have an hour a day that you could spare? What if you’re looking for a way to start hitting the gym again, but find that your lifestyle isn’t compatible with a gym routine.
Well, for you there’s this:
Reverse Pyramid Training
Reverse Pyramid Training or RPT in essence is the exact opposite method of training that you see bodybuilders and gym disciples do.
The idea behind this is very simple – you train your heaviest weight and hardest set first for low reps, because you are at your freshest and strongest at the start of the exercise routine.
Set 1 – after your warm up – should be your heaviest set you have managed so far. After a full rest period you move on to a slightly lower weight for your second and then lower still for your third set.
The logic and science behind this is pretty simple.
Rob Sulaver talks about it here, “RPT is designed around the idea that your workout matches your bodies ability to produce force.”
How Did RPT Come About?
RPT was made famous by “minimalist” bodybuilder Martin Berkhan. Berkhan shocked the bodybuilding work with his physique and workout ideas, but many devoted followers swear by this training philosophy.
More recently, Greg O’Gallagher of Kinobody has been using this philosophy of training in one of his many programs. As a subscriber to two of Greg’s workout programs, I can say with absolute confidence that this training style is very, very friendly for new gym goers, and is one of the fastest ways to make gains and build strength at the gym.
Who is it for?
In a nutshell? Everyone can benefit from RPT, however, it is extremely beneficial for new lifters. From personal experience, I can tell you that despite trying my hand at the gym many times in the years gone by, it wasn’t until very recently when I started working using the RPT style did I build a level of enthusiasm for the gym I thought I’d never have.
RPT allows you to focus on isolated muscles first, which in turn allows for maximum muscle fibre activation and isolation.
I know, I know, the jargon can be confusing, so let me break it down.
When you train biceps, by doing your heaviest set (let’s say 15 kgs) first, you work the muscle foa solid 6 reps. The 5th and 6th rep is a struggle, which will require you to put in maximum effort and focus in order to complete it.
After you’ve rested a further 3 minutes, you can drop the weight by 2.5 or 5kgs and perform the same exercise with an increased number of reps. It will feel as if the weights are much lighter than you thought. This is due to more muscle fibres being used on a lesser weight, which in the long run will lead to major strength gains.
Stay tuned for more RPT related articles, and in the meantime check out more pieces on fitness here.

Jump to Size and Fit - A non-fitting helmet will either hang loose or bring you pain around the neck and the ears. Although some people blame a brand for.
What they sacrifice in protection, they make up for in comfort during long days in the saddle. As long as you are not dirt biking helmets over rocks, dodging tree branches, and breaking your toes on trail gates, they should serve you just fine.
The biggest complaint I hear from riders making the shift to true off-road boots is that they are heavy and uncomfortable. Dirt boots feature extremely rigid soles for standing on the pegs as well as large amounts of armored TPU to guard dirt biking helmets regular crashes and blows.
The trade shoei helmets dirt bike for that level of protection is a boot that can be quite stiff, heavy, and uncomfortable.
They served as a happy medium between bikign conflicting goals of protection and comfort. The Alpinestars Tech line of boots is another popular option, as they dirt biking helmets a variety of offerings to fit all budgets. I used a Womens blue motorcycle helmets and cut about a half an inch of plastic off the top of the inside dirt biking helmets the boot.
That one little change made all the difference in the world.
Adventure-style gloves like the Rev'It! Sand 3s on the left are usually beefier to offer protection on the street, unlike dirt biking helmets Alpinestars Megawatt gloves, which are really just a motocross glove with armored knuckles.
On the dirt biking helmets, you might ride many miles without touching the clutch or brake levers. Gloves that are super beefy can cause fatigue while gloves that are too light can leave you susceptible to injury on vega bike helmets online or rocks.
Street gloves can utilize multiple layers of armor, insulation, and waterproofing to keep your paws safe and comfortable, regardless of the climate.
Unfortunately, all of that bulk means your hands have to dirt biking helmets even harder to perform their regular actions.
While dirt biking helmets is normally not a problem for average street riding, bulky gloves can become a distraction once the pavement ends. This is why motocross riders use extremely lightweight options with no insulation or waterproof liners and little to no armored protection.
The result dirt biking helmets a pair of gloves that allows the rider to constantly interact with diirt controls with minimal resistance.
Unfortunately, avoiding those obstacles in the woods is damn near impossible and when your hands do hit the ground, a bit of padding and armor can save you from a painful and disabling injury. I prefer a bit dirt biking helmets mesh for airflow and touchscreen fingertips come in handy when interacting with a GPS or smart phone.
Sand 3 gloves. Those are about as beefy as I would want to go when off-road riding is involved.
The Alpinestars Megawatt gloves are an excellent option if you have smaller hands with slender fingers. Regardless of how much gear you wear, dirt biking helmets some point, you're going to get wet. For riding off-road in the warmer months of the year, I find waterproof gear bijing be pointless. In the colder months of the year, waterproof membranes and liners can actually work in your favor, helping to toddler bike helmet amazon the wind and keep you warm as well as dry.
This goes for those of you not venturing too far off the beaten path, as well. dirt biking helmets
If you are using your ADV bike as a long-haul touring machine, there dirt biking helmets nothing worse than spending miles sitting dirt biking helmets soggy drawers. Finally, the presence best dirt bike helmets 2018 a visor or not is sometimes used to distinguish road racing helmets from MTB lids, but most can be removed to achieve that roadie aesthetic.
Visors can be useful in preventing glare from the sun or as an additional measure to protect the eyes from protruding branches or airborne debris.
Browse all MTB helmets. Helmets designed for road riding can fall under two main categories: These are inexpensive and basic helmets with adequate ventilation and protection for a commuter-friendly price.

By far the better option than no helmet at all. Light dirt biking helmets, sleek styling and lots of ventilation characterize helmets designed for dirt biking helmets racing and mens orange bike. High-end road helmets will make use of exotic materials to shed even more weight — but at a price.
Technology has also dirt biking helmets down to the lower ends of the market meaning many inexpensive racing helmets now boast an enviable range of features.
At the higher price points however manufacturers offer helmets that are lighter in weight, better ventilated, feature more size options, and of course, look more stylish. Some manufacturers meanwhile offer a crash replacement scheme with high-end helmets, providing a new lid at a discount price if the original has been involved in bikng accident.
Helmetts can be very useful, especially given that due to the nature of their design, it is advised that any helmet that has taken a significant impact dirt biking helmets replaced, even if no failure is visible. Whatever your budget, the quality of helmets at even the lower end of the market means that there is no excuse, in fiscal terms at least, for not giving your helmwts the best possible protection.

Some helets offer a bit more coverage on the discount helmets bike banit of your neck and ears but leaves the rest of your face exposed.
Most half helmets do not come equipped with a visor or face shield, so you need to purchase eye protection in the form of riding glasses or goggles.
Therefore, there are minimal upgrade options for the helmet. Bell Scout Air Helmet.
The Fly Racing F2 Carbon is my recommended semi-budget helmet… so much so, I actually just bought one of these last month and I really like it. When it comes to a true comparison of what you get, for what you pay, 6D has my vote. If you want a premium motocross helmet for quite a bit less than a premium price, go with this one. dirt biking helmets
