Hi everybody,
I´m posting this question here as I have seen it come up in the forum quite often. The question is: What excercises can be added to S&S in order to target sport specific preparation? The idea is adding activities/excercises, but in a way that doesnt affect S&S eficiency and progress.
For instance: In march my football (Soccer) season will start, so Im thinking on going for a jog some afternoons, or playing a football match with friends (I do S&S in the morning). I think a light jog if kept aerobic can go fine with S&S.
Another one: In the coming southern spring (September) my kitesurf season will start. Kitesurf puts a great load on quads in an isostatic manner, you keep a knee-bent stance for several minutes under load. Probably similar to skiing. So I'm thinking on adding some more quadricep-targeted conditioning after S&S, such as doing a few sets of heavyish goblet squats, or maybe half-sitting isostatic holds with the back against the wall.
I guess a good answer could be: If you can wake up the next day fresh and ready for your S&S session, you are fine.
Any thoughts?
