4 ADV motorcycle lifts - physical conditioning 

Take your MTB and ride some uphill trail. Teaches you balance as well.

Ride 45 minutes every day possible

Agree - I ride my bike to get to work, 15 mi rt daily. Too much traffic to drive in (or I would). And track stands at traffic lights helps the balance (that helps when riding)

Great ldea! I am 71 and ride a GS and off road thats what they do and i do drop it i did that on a slick snow packed dirt road last year and could not get the bike up i had no traction the bike sliped one way me the other! In about 20min a guy drove up and saved me lol i bought a 1000 lb ratcet with 20 feet strap i live in So oregon lots of trees to use if the tires slip drive small tree limbs in to keep the bike from slipping. Lol This can happen when you break rule#1 i dont ride in snow! Rule#2 dont break rule #1!!!! Just me saying

What name would we pick? It's not really Crossfit so maybe ADV fitness? Or LFRofA conditioning? 1st step gym?

@@BretTkacs Big Iron ADV, Rock Hard ADV? 😆

@@RangerPhantomSAS I like the second one 🤣

Great video guys. Some really good tips in there. Thank you so much. 👍🇦🇺

@@RangerPhantomSAS both of those names are great!

Moin Günter, bietest Du Touren an? Oder ist die Mailadresse zufällig gewählt? Gruß aus Lippstadt, Westfalen, Susanne G65GS PS. Liegt sie, fehlt der Boxer und der Haltegriff. Habe noch keinen Trick gefunden, wie ich das Baby aufhebe, habe mir einen Teleskop-Lifter von Mototrek gekauft. Schont die Bandscheiben.

@@susanneschnitker6712 Ja, Susanne, ich biete Enduro-Touren an. Die GS ist klasse. Bandscheibenschonen ist wichtig. Bei meinen Trainings lege ich viel Wert darauf, dass wir mit unseren Kräften smart jaushalten. Oder warum schwitzen, wenn wir uns mit Technik leichter tun? Gruß aus Nürnberg, Günter

I am working on a "play ground" road routine to share. Hangs will definitely be on the list

Climbing is the best training ive ever tried in my life

😂,💯 I was thinking the same thing when I saw him doing that, I told my wife the same

Having a workout partner is always a good idea

Make sure you watch the video I did on picking up bikes. This was about conditioning and there are details missing on the actual lifts.

I included a link in the video and at the end to see the video on the three most important ADV lifts

It's being received better than I thought it would. Views are way down compared to my normal videos but it's Patreon support that keeps the channel going, so if they want it, they get it 😁

It's not a series that will have have a lot of views but it's a really important thing riders should think about. So many riders struggle with these riding skills

😂

This are low view videos but I do have several others I'd like to make.

I agree

With the exception of VERY aggressive offroad riding I. Find hand fatigue is normally a result of #1 poor technique, a significant lack of conditioning or a poorly matched/adjusted bike for ergonomics. Fingers can certainly become fatigued in technical riding or constant stop/go traffic. With that said besides the two drills we showed, squeeze balls and dead hangs are good for hand strength.

Absolutely!

I have a video dedicated to how to do these lifts, this was intended to focus on was to condition so that they are easier to do. You will find a link in the video and at the end to see that other video on lifting techniques

Thank you for supporting what I do Bret-

Immediately I am thinking "did you lock the front brake with a strap?" As an FYI Richard is 56yo, 5'7" 156lbs. Age and size isn't an excuse... It just means you have to be more dedicated to making sure you can self extricate.

I rode my F800GS to the tip of Chile and Argentina... The 800 is not the hardest bike to pick up.

I would make a bet that you are lifting rather than pushing and are likely too high on the bike Did you watch the video on how to properly do the lift?

@BretTkacs And you Lost that beer bet good man. No offense, , but like you. I've been lifting up motorcycles long enough. And I completely agree with the fundamental motion that it's more pushing horizontally as much as possible rather than lifting. And yes, I get perfectly as possible. Perpendicular to the bike regardless of the style of lift method try It always makes the most sense to ensure the bike. Cannot roll forward or backwards as much as possible. When you are trying to get it back up right. If the bike is rolling forward or backwards when you're trying to lift, thank you, bought it. That's gonna throw off your ankle of effort in cause to encounter a higher change of dropping the bike in almost mid lift. Off tested this time and time again On pavement Fret, please understand all good vibes and attitude. Mint here as I absolutely adore all of your content. Good man especially the u turn videos But as I mentioned before, not reminding an individual to secure either the front brake or to ensure that the bike is in first gear. Or a gear to prevent it from rocking or rolling forward backward as much as possible to make fifteen at safe for is an oversight that needs to be corrected.

@@motoryzen all good vibes... Again I included the other video links hoping riders would watch and learn the full technique as I was working to stay focused on the topic. The only reason I showed the lifts in this video was so they could see the direct connection

Then you need to go one step farther and ask why are we riding motorcycles when they raise our risk for injuries? Proper conditioning and life long exercise has shown to help keep joints healthy. If you lift properly we are only lifting a small fraction of the total weight of the motorcycle

@BretTkacs That's a different scenario, Bret, unless one pushes riding to an extreme and thus unnecessary risks his life. Moderate response riding is fairly safe. It's not possible to be free of possible risks in this world. Doing heavy lifting, is not necessary, generally speaking, as there are alternatives. Every time you load your body you compress your spine and joints, and they have to move in this compressed state. This will eventually wear them down. And how about the compressed disks between the vertebrae, and the nerves that go by? Is it worth of risking painful and handicapped older age?

@@BlueAlgon what is "older"? Also do you have any source documents or studies that show regular exercise is a problem when we get older. We aren't talking about powerlifting... These are modest weights including lifting the GS if it's done properly

@BretTkacs Regular exercise is important; that is not in question. In question is loading the body with heavy weights. Now what is "heavy" will differ from person to person for sure. At the same time looking at it logically, the human body is not designed to carry heavy loads. It is designed to carry itself plus a little bit (firewood, food, tools). Yes. The body can be made to handle weight, a lot of weight. Exercising can be with or against the body. The younger body may be able to recover from a shock (heavy load), but the stresses can accumulate in the body, and then surface when one least expects it. What is "older" would be probably unique to each person. Healthy people may qualify for older at 60 and not so healthy at 40. Most people don't supply enough necessary nutrients to their bodies and decompress their system with regular and frequent chiropractic to withstand much abuse. Let's remember that things can look rosy and one can feel on the highest cloud, and then there can be a drastic change in status if one is not honoring his/her body. There is an easy way to check if you are overloading your body or not - by using kinesiology (muscle strength testing). Probably the best doctors that use it are those that perform neuro-emotional technique. There are quite a number of them in the western US. Very reliable. I enjoy your channel. Cheers.

The last few days were awesome

@@BretTkacs I can't wait for the local group rides to start rolling out.

It is.

Yes

Yes... Just watch what you grab

Why do you think I had him show the butt lift. I am not a fan. It's a very rare day I use that.

@@BretTkacs ha! I knew it! Great video, actually both of them :)

@@axamitidynamit8355 🤣

🤣🤣

You can find them at CrossFit gyms

I love my bike 😉

Hence the lift from the knees

@@BretTkacs Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind, next time I have a tip over 😎
