Administrators Horton Posted April 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 25, 2021 I am guilty of only warming up body parts I am worried about so - I do 1 set each of my basic upper body workout before each set ( tricep warm up / bar dips / push ups / curls / pull ups). Also some light shoulder and hip mobility stretching.

Baller customski Posted April 25, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2021 Mainly hip mobility stretches and a bit of hanging/leg raises to get the core warmed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bkreis Posted April 25, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2021 soo important!!!!! 30 giant arm swings each direction , hair and back mobility/stability movements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted April 26, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 26, 2021 Possibly a few deep knee bends, if my hamstrings feel tight. Maybe a light jog for a couple hundred yards to raise the heart rate and simultaneously work the legs/hip flexors a bit. Many times, it is nothing. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted April 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 26, 2021 @bkreis OK, somebody has to ask. What are "hair and back mobility/stability movements"? @6balls I'm sure you jest, but I find a cup of coffee 2 hours before skiing enhances my performance.

Baller 6balls Posted April 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 26, 2021 @dchristman no jest. Get up, drink coffee, ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted April 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'd say I'm a combination of thager, 6balls, and MISkier. Basically try to do some light body weight exercises to warm up all muscle groups, and a little hip flexor stretches. If its early there will be much coffee involved also.....which will then need to be drained once in the water to lighten the load..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Stevie Boy Posted April 29, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2021 Side stretches, upper body rotation and finally deep lunges to fire up the muscles around my dodgy knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted April 29, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2021 Today I drove 4 sets then hopped in the water to ski.... no it's not ideal and this is usually how things go for me. Need to be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WaterLoo Posted April 29, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2021 Quad and thigh stretches both raised and bending over at the waist. Arm swings, make wide circles both directions to warm up my shoulders. Hopefully there's a handle on a post somewhere to lean on, jog about 100 yards a few times and then I jump in before I suit up so my first time dealing with the temp change isn't when the boat is dragging me down the lake. I wish Rossi or Finlayson would discuss their pre tournament set warmup but they keep it a secret, at least on their podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller S1Pitts Posted April 29, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2021 Qi-Gong. Since my wife convinced me to start doing something like the video link posted I don't hurt, get hurt or have a low energy ski no matter how tired I am starting on the dock. Try it.

Baller Ski2000 Posted April 30, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2021 I’m in @6balls camp. When the coffee runs out it’s time to head in. Coffee after getting out of 50 degrees water is imperative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Buck Posted April 30, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2021 Drink some Bucked Up pre-workout - then getting my feet into the Wiley's high wrap bindings without sufficient lube is a workout on its own merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller kmenard Posted May 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 5, 2021 Last year it was a coffee and breakfast sandwich from Wendy's...and those potato wedges. SO GOOD! Not my performance, that was the opposite of good. I don't think there is a correlation there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted July 5, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted July 5, 2021 Core warm up, light stretching, but the most important is a simple “one foot balance” pose for each side. Imagine your stacked position as you pick up your foot and lift your knee to 90 degrees. Hold and breathe a few times then other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller vtmecheng Posted July 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted July 5, 2021 Side squats, push-ups, Bulgarian split squats, pull-ups, some band mobility work for my rotator cuff, light calf stretches, and a few foot warmups (since I’m a few surgeries in on my left foot). I can ski without all that but feel way better when I do them and can ski more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
