All the trial areas you face are full of obstacles that test your skills on the bike and your physical ability. In most areas, the trial rider encounters steps, jumps and flights that require a great ability to execute movements with power.
You know very well that trial is a sport in which physical skills make the difference. Some skills such as balance or coordination count a lot about the bike, and both are complementary skills to your
trial technique
. It is with the union of these competencies that highly satisfactory results are really achieved and the pilot experiences greater progression. And you also know that it’s just as important
to have mental tools for temperance and nerve control in the zones.
Knowing this, you can’t be surprised then that the next level in your trial is achieved thanks to power. This physical ability makes it easier for you to be able to perform powerful movements that allow you to sink the forks of the bike well to climb higher steps or push with your legs with more speed to jump from stone to stone.
And beyond the steps, these physical skills are also decisive in traditional trial techniques, such as turns or climbs, where weight distribution and properly coordinated reactions can separate success from failure.
To work on the power applied to the trial we are going to propose 4 exercises that you can relate directly to the movements you make on the bike, and so that you see the direct transfer when you work them in your training routines.
As you will see, any of these 4 power exercises can be adapted to your physical condition, wherever you are, simply by increasing or decreasing the difficulty of them.
Another positive point of the sequence that we propose is that you can do them anywhere, without depending on specific material that limits your practice.
You can put them to the test at your gym, at home, or in the park.
Let’s get to it!
