Surf Fitness & Nutrition

[rveesurfdawg]

Here's my alternative to Nmm's workout postings......

Local bar...

5x16 ounce beers @ 45:00 (1-5 neg split; 6-10 descending)

lunch...take it easy

rehydrate 4x16 ounce water...kick it

3x6 ounce red wine @ 35:00...swill at will

dinner...greasy (base coat!)

162 total (I think?)

And......................apres meal

more beer
more wine
add some hard liquor
No reps, more free form

Have fun..........pass out, repeat

btw: In July I added tequila back into to my repertoire........I've noticed a marked deterioration in my balance and flexibility (curious?).......I'm hoping it does not cross over to my surfing.

OH your're younger than that!

The erzats workout:

grab a headlamp, drink some water, put on the running shoes. Blast out the door for the nearest trails. Don't come back for 1.5 hours. It's better if you run, but whatever. When you finally do return proceed with the Doc workout emphasizing the vino (and, last night, pumpkin carving).

My workout:

-See if I can touch my toes.

-If I'm within an inch, it is after midday and the tempertaure is higher than 55, I'll grab my skate and find the nearest bowl.

-Slash a few grinds until I'm winded or bleeding.

-Then, grab the biggest cheapest veggie burrito I can find and wash it down with a few ales.

-Next watch Tom Curren footage while drinking more ale.

-Try on my wetsuit to see if it still fits and wonder when I'll next be able to hit my favorite right.

-Try touching my toes again with a belly full of filthy brown booze.

The ony surf specific exercise I do is practice holding my breath. All other working out is just preparation for mine and Wilbur's cage match. Reserve your viewing on Pay Per View.

[Wilbur Kookmeyer]

The difference is, is that you actually have to train for the cage match....

[Koo Nass]

I've gotten scientific with my cage match training. First I eat tons of junk food. Sit on my arse. Play video games (only violent and sexist games), and watch PDX wrestling.

I just wanna make sure the fans and paying customers get thier money worth.

I definitely agree with one of the first posts on this subject. Lower weight, higher reps- much improved definition and endurance! I also run five times a week, gotta keep that heart strong for paddling through those tough waves. And of course, lots of beer curls.

Peace!

Did you just answer your own question?

Any great ideas thought to prevent muscle cramps...? ...if i have too much alcohol...im surely to get cramps.

...the lack of electroiytes (potassium and sodium) will increase cramps but as long as I maintain hydrated and get my electrolytes in im cramp free.

Prison Counsellor: Why do you say you feel "trapped" in a man's body.
"Trapped" Convict: Well, sometimes I get them menstrual cramps real hard.

You probably cramp more often when you drink the night before because you are dehydrated (due to alcohol and coffee), you are in an acidodic state (due to etoh), as well as hypokalemic (coffee).

Cramping is due to your muscle burning sugar without enough oxygen (anaerobic metabolim) causing acidosis.

Cold water also causes muscles to cramp.

So treatments....heat is the best way help with a cramp in the water. It causes those superficial blood vessels to dialate providing more blood making you muscle more flexible........Pee in your wetsuit.
