What is it they say about Brummies  These were the tips- 1. Stay balanced, try to position your body weight so that the bike pushes you, rather than pulling you. Practice shifting your weight forward during acceleration, and shifting your weight back during braking. The main idea is to minimize the demands on your hands and teach you to keep your weight balanced. 2. It's all in the legs. Squeeze and maneuver the bike with your legs 3. Relax your grip, your arms, and your hands, and take a deep breath when you can. 4. Keep your equipment in check You don't want your equipment to make you work harder than you need to, so be sure your suspension is properly setup. Bar position, lever position, grip compound should also be fine-tuned and individualized. You may find that you can stay more relaxed with your bars more forward, back, etc. 5. Get your blood flowing Warm up before you go out on track. A quick jog through the pits or some other exercises to get your blood flowing will encourage circulation through the arms. 6. Stay hydrated 7. Breath! Forgetting to breath while riding as silly as it may sound is among the most common causes of arm pump in beginner-level riders. Paying attention to your breathing will also help you relax. 8. Emphasize wrist curls with light weights and high repetitions, rather than heavier weights and low repetitions. pete | ||
