I'm a listener to Derek's podcast and subscriber to his fitness programs on his site. I'm about 45% through his 16 week XC off season training program and they are awesome. The first two sections out of four have been unreal for developing a ton of core strength and balance. All of the movements are extremely functional and I can't say enough how much it's already helped me.
This is awesome Brian. I’ve been looking for a realistic gym program for a “regular” mtb guy.. I’m a hobbyist and will never race and this is something that a regular guy like me can incorporate so super useful video.
I have my own C2 and got into rowing first as rehab after breaking my pelvis on the bike but now in its own right. Good cardio which helps with the biking. Good to see it’s working for you. I recommend Eric Murray’s workouts on TH-cam if you want to branch out from CrossFit.
there's a lot going on in that vid. Will have to come back with a pad and pen to take notes. As an aside, it's great to hear what you have set out as the BIG objective for next year. I loved all your EWS vids. Watchout Jordan, the nuget's on the charge!
Brian, you have no idea how much i needed this exact video!!! I’ve been looking for specific routines for a long time! Videos usually are not specific enough, and personal trainers are expensive AF!! Thanks my man!
Ive been starting to do a lot more fitness and was looking for different plans i was about to give up on it then your video popped up and now im following this plan during the holidays
@@bkxc I've started doing the shoulder stretching exercise because of stiffness in my left shoulder. We'll see if it helps. I'd get done with rides in the summer and chuck down 800mg. of ibuprofen and immediately get ice on it. Hoping this will help for next season.
This is really cool! Definitely checking them out. Racing enduro this coming season and looking to make gains in performance. A structured program would be great to keep the motivation alive!
I really like this vid man! I've talked to too many people that think hard work in the gym won't improve their cycling -- it's ridiculous! This program is solid and I'd like to add a few exercises just to mix things up because a routine gets stale after a while and on your adventures you might not have access to a gym. 1) pistol squats 2) gator crawls 3) wood choppers(fantastic, but will need a resistance) You can find tutorial videos all over youtube easily and when done correctly your core is going to be tight! Keep up the good work, dude.
@@dialedhealth Same! They're amazing! I bet you've done them before tbh I didn't know what they were called until my friend had me do them and maybe it was because we also had to drag a dumbbell on the floor during idk if that was just a variation but it works wonders!
Hey Brian. SOOO awesome to watch you implement strength training into your routine. it SEEMS like your type of riding would benefit greatly by getting in as much heavy strength training you can do. not sure if you've ever seen some of the workouts that Kate Courtney does, but something like that WITH heavy ass weights. Love the vids. keep up the awesome work!!
As I get older, I'm finding a lot of the problems I've had have been muscular imbalance or postural issues. Those of use that do repetitive motions or...sit in front of a desk all day... can really pay for it. Balancing muscle groups (chest with back especially) and correcting postural problems really helps with all kinds of pain (i.e. neck, back, etc). Lots of good exercises to help correct rounded shoulders / pelvic tilt, etc. Just make sure to take it easy with the weight, especially for your shoulders. You can really cause some nasty imbalances if you overdo it and regaining stability isn't fun. I really like using bands as it is fairly easy to control the intensity to a high degree, but they're also low weight, inexpensive and easy to bring with you if you have to travel.
Check out Derek's Podcast "The Dialed Health Podcast". He goofs around with it but he also gives some great information on stuff like this. He did an episode specifically about back pain.
*i enjoyed the whole thing and the **17:30** minutes passed fast* *thank you for this useful info and i'm definitely incorporating this to my gym routine*
Great video. Thanks. That being said, it would be helpful, as you approach each exercise, to to explain specifically how that movement will benefit me on the bike.
I’m sad that you were in granite bay and didn’t tell us. I think love your videos I’ve literally watched almost every one of them. Also one of my aunts knows you so hopefully I can meet you some day
This is great and very informative!! I already go to the gym on a regular and been seeking a workout program for the winter to better my cycling skills. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
Ok wow, that was actually SO interesting! I find myself with not much time to actually train in the gym or at home so I just go ride when I can but I'd definitely be up to try something of the sort out 🤩 Thanks for sharing it Brian! 💪
about a month ago I started working out doing lunges and squats and things like that and I swear I can already feel a difference in my power on the bike I mean it could be in my head but I think I can tell a difference
Good stuff! I always encourage my fellow riders to pursue fitness. I changed my training since I started mountain biking to ensure I'm not burnt when I hit the trails. I've definitely made the mistake of cooking my legs too close to a ride. 😆
Brian, did you ever have your VO2 max checked? That way you can see on paper if your endurance is going up.I had open heart surgery in 2002 a 4X bypass and a while after that I started doing some decent/intense treadmill workouts at high angles because I used to have to take the BRUCE PROTOCOL TEST at the Hospital once a year, its designed to basically get your heart rate up as high as possible after a warm up to test your cardio and heart function at a high level then see how your heart rate decreases back to a normal level.
Most calisthenics would work if you look at a biomechanical analysis of mountain biking online you will see all the muscles used and where and from their you can pick your calisthenics exercises to suite the muscles you need and then adjust them but I would recommend dips grip grip pull ups dead hands for grip strength, sedo planche push ups for shoulders, planks and side planks for core, then pistol squats and normal squats for legs then after a few weeks some power conversion training so just making all the calisthenics exercises more powerful and adding in some plyometrics.
Nice Brian. Hope your not out of town the whole year cuz I buying a bike this winter and was hoping to hit you up at one of the Patreon rides. But from the sound of it you'll be in the PNW and more than likely around the Carolina's visiting Seth, Bob and Alex.
Been searching for a strength programme for a while, looking to get started after the Christmas break. I'm riding as well as ever at 52, a dietary change has seen me get better which is great but I want to continue improving and extend my ability to ride hard for years to come. I've seen a few programmes advertised and have been put off by the pushy websites and FB over selling. Derek comes across very well, knowledgeable but no ego. I'm very tempted but would have loved some interval sessions to have been incorporated into the programmes. Still my favoured option from the strength aspect alone though. Enjoy your vids and liked the collaboration with Andrew, I guided him around The Surrey Hills for his vid there.
Nigel if you have access to a pool start a swimming program now. You will like the results and it doesn't tear up your body. Watch the videos here on YT to develop your technique. It worked for me.
Ya Brian this is great! You’ve inspired me to sign up for the downieville classic😁 I’ve been training for the last 3 months and you’ve inspired me so much! Im curious, when you get unmotivated how do you motivate yourself to get back to the gym?
That's great Jack!! Man, that's the magic of CrossFit, it's always different and exciting. I can always get motivated to see how I'm going to perform. If it's normal "gym style" workout then saving podcasts or audiobooks is a good way to look forward to it.
Great video. Looks like lots of great exercises and stretches. Is all that nodding at the start one of the neck strengthening exercises, LOL? Also, not sure what the deal is with that whoop thing. It's a free band, but you pay $30 and then there's subscription? Website isn't really clear at all on what it provides or how much it will cost. I think most people would be better off with the one time cost of a decent sport smartwatch, and it would do more too.
I've been training with Derek in person for the past two years and I am stoked you guys connected and made a video! Can't wait to see more content like this !!
I recently built a enduro bike it's probably around 20 kg, coil front and rear. but it fits me and rides great, it was worth the extra weight, but before I was riding a too short bike was quite tiring, it worked my arms and the rest of my upper body a lot, it was an unnecessarily difficult balance act, but new bike will not be abusing me. so I hope I won't be in as much pain and get as fatigued, the first few rides I noticed it made a huge difference.
I have a long way to go to even look close to as ripped as you do. my upper body is more like a geek/nerd from movies, but not my legs. I am clearly gaining strength and balance, endurance, but stil la long way to go for me, and I can't work out as much as I wish. I suffer from back and neck that can easily get thrown out, so no hardtail gnar for me. But I will continue to work out as much as I can. but I just can't do any saheldues, evry thing is random, if I am good I ride and work out. so if I am good I ride as much as I possibly can, and if it does not suit to ride I work out as much as I can. working my upper body including arms, with dumbbells has improved my riding a lot, I can now do one handed wheelies, which was impossible before. I don't remember how long it tool to get to this point but probable a year or 2.
@@dialedhealth just trying to go in this position might be too far, might work for short while might even do the work out but it could happen. But usually my hips are quite easy to make pop, same with rest of my body. But I haven't tried this in several years maybe it has improved since.
@@dialedhealth I will wait with testing this until my back neck get into it's place, I woke up with messed up everything. but I want to test this as soon as possible, and also see if full movement also works now. but my hips can pop when doing technical climbs and throw me off balance.
@@dialedhealth I tried to do this movement no, but only did it on one side cus my right foot is problematic, it hurts probably due to misalignment it has been trough it needs few days to get back to normal, but I managed to do it without any back twisting or hip misalignment, or pain, but then I tried again and my mid back got slightly misaligned, but seems like my lower back, and hips are more stable, than they used to be. but without dumbbell, not tried with yet. maybe the techy riding I have been doing, and other work outs, even they were not often as I want, but maybe it helped to build up strength in the hip.

So stoked to have you as a part of the DIALED FAM Austin! Thanks for sharing your results and keep crushing!
Derek is a great guy and better yet he knows what he is doing. glad you got in touch with him and that you notice how much it helps!
It was so awesome having you in the gym! Excited to get working together soon🤘🏼
It was a fun day!!
@@bkxc yes it was
He nodded his head so much.
I do the same thing
His neck muscles must be insane by now lol.

Thanks guys!
YEAW!
Keep us update with your gym and nutrition! It's so motivating!
Glad to hear that!
Lots of training inspo on my instagram @dialedhealth that you might enjoy!
This is awesome Brian. I’ve been looking for a realistic gym program for a “regular” mtb guy.. I’m a hobbyist and will never race and this is something that a regular guy like me can incorporate so super useful video.
Definitely!!
congrats - you have the best rowing technique of any MTB youtuber I have seen!
Haha, my CrossFit coach is constantly critiquing my rowing form, so I'm paranoid!
I have my own C2 and got into rowing first as rehab after breaking my pelvis on the bike but now in its own right. Good cardio which helps with the biking. Good to see it’s working for you. I recommend Eric Murray’s workouts on TH-cam if you want to branch out from CrossFit.
Please show us the second workout also. Really enjoyed this
Glad you dug it!
there's a lot going on in that vid. Will have to come back with a pad and pen to take notes. As an aside, it's great to hear what you have set out as the BIG objective for next year. I loved all your EWS vids. Watchout Jordan, the nuget's on the charge!
Just check out the description, it's all in there! Thanks Jimbo
Brian, you have no idea how much i needed this exact video!!! I’ve been looking for specific routines for a long time! Videos usually are not specific enough, and personal trainers are expensive AF!! Thanks my man!
Fantastic!!
So great to hear!
Great video! I am a big believer in lifting to get better on the bike.
Nice!
YESYESYESYESYESYESYES
This was one the best mtb workout information videos on TH-cam
Sweet!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
That guy is giving you a great program. So cool!
Definitely!
Thank you!
This video really helped me to understand what type of exercises will give me more strength for MTB. Keep up the great videos!
Sailor Heath happy to hear it helped!
Fantastic
Awesome! Going try some of these!
Good to hear it!
GET AFTER IT
Stay healthy & stay riding...I really enjoy your work!👍👍

Active listening skills are on point with those head nods.
Makin neck and trap gainz 👌💪🏼
Haha thanks bud
He should nod backwards more in case athlean x gets concerned about muscle imbalances.
Denning76 lol def 🤣
Keep these coming! Great stuff.
Thanks!!
Very cool. Interested to see your progress. He seemed like a very knowledgable guy. Simple, yet focused exercises.
Most definitely!

Even the warm ups would be interesting
Now I have something to do this winter in the 416 besides spin... Thanx!!
Be good, do better!
Sweet!
Derek is such a good dude! Great insight into a solid plan!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I tried this workout today and it was killer! Definitely gonna start my free trial!!
That's great!

This will help me alot for my coming xc race on feb. Lets goooo!🤙
Sweet!
I have a full XC program on my website that may be a great fit!
@@dialedhealth oh yeah gonna try that. Thanks alot dude!
Good video!! Always hitting the gym for riding! Even though I suck at riding on rock stuff! Always loose my balance!
Gotta work on our weaknesses!
Just in time for my half assed new years resolution! Also, the bicep wall stretch looks amazing for people that struggle with arm pump.
Hahaha definitely!
haha right on! The bicep stretch will totally help with arm pump. Also, try rolling your forearm with a lacrosse ball!
@@dialedhealth thanks for the extra tips! appreciate it!
All this'll come in handy Brian if you have to push the van
Hahahah
Great video. Thanks. That being said, it would be helpful, as you approach each exercise, to to explain specifically how that movement will benefit me on the bike.
Great vid with really informative and clear information! Seems like a great collaboration to - I’ll be anxious to see how it pays off.
Glad you liked it!
Stoked to hear that you liked it! Can't wait to see the results myself!
I need something, it’s winter in Oklahoma and riding is a no go right now. Thank you
Hit them weights!
Great timing! My website has a body weight program that could be great to do from home this winter for yah!
Great vid bkxc now I can change out some old technic and add something new to my existing routine, very exciting episode today.
Thanks!
I’m sad that you were in granite bay and didn’t tell us. I think love your videos I’ve literally watched almost every one of them. Also one of my aunts knows you so hopefully I can meet you some day
Awesome program Brian and thanks for sharing. Liked and Shared as always!
Thanks Don!!
Sweet ... I'm taking this to the gym with me .
Nice!!
CRUSH IT!
Awesome. Look into selectable dumbells for the van. Mine are 2.5>52.5 lbs
Nice!
I’ll be giving these a go with my next workout! Great video!
This is great and very informative!! I already go to the gym on a regular and been seeking a workout program for the winter to better my cycling skills. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

That's great!
Very informative content!
Glad to hear it!
My friends!
very cool, been looking for practical exercise program. Nice to see the "clean shaven look"... you come across on YT visually much better.
Haha thanks
Sounds like an amazing plan Brian! I’ll be doing something very similar up here in the great white north as well!
Nice!
Great stuff, make sure your not stretching your median nerve with that arm stretch,
Good call!
I hope to see more about how this works for you...I'm will about getting more fit for mtb particular
Nice!
This is AWESOME! I've been looking for an MTB-specific weight routine.
Nice!
You should ride the granite bay trails here my bike team does tons of mountain bike rides on granite bay we do a night ride with 160 of us!
Send me an invite!
Yes! I’ll dm you.
Great tips! I already do some of this but need better core strength!
Nice!
I've been looking for something new like this for a while. I've been finding my greatest weakness now is strength over technique
Nice, hope it gives you something to try!
Good stuff! I always encourage my fellow riders to pursue fitness. I changed my training since I started mountain biking to ensure I'm not burnt when I hit the trails. I've definitely made the mistake of cooking my legs too close to a ride. 😆
Thanks Alan!
This is so common for riders! Hard to control yourself sometimes in the gym, but there's nothing worse than smoked legs at the start of a ride.
Brian, did you ever have your VO2 max checked? That way you can see on paper if your endurance is going up.I had open heart surgery in 2002 a 4X bypass and a while after that I started doing some decent/intense treadmill workouts at high angles because I used to have to take the BRUCE PROTOCOL TEST at the Hospital once a year, its designed to basically get your heart rate up as high as possible after a warm up to test your cardio and heart function at a high level then see how your heart rate decreases back to a normal level.
I have not done that V02 max, I bet it would be pretty cool though!
Love where this is going, great job bud!
Thanks man!
This video is awesome! My son has been looking for a MTB specific workout and I think he just found it🤘❤️
Sweet!
Sweet! Is there a part 2? As an old guy (relatively speaking), I need something like this so badly.
Gotta check out Dialed Health for the full shebang!
@@bkxc Just checked 'em out. I'll probably sign up for one of the programs, build a permanent pull up bar in the garage and buy some resistance bands!
@@wasaker09 Love it! Let me know if you have any questions!
Can you do a hole workout for mtbs without equipment?
That would be very cool.
Most calisthenics would work if you look at a biomechanical analysis of mountain biking online you will see all the muscles used and where and from their you can pick your calisthenics exercises to suite the muscles you need and then adjust them but I would recommend dips grip grip pull ups dead hands for grip strength, sedo planche push ups for shoulders, planks and side planks for core, then pistol squats and normal squats for legs then after a few weeks some power conversion training so just making all the calisthenics exercises more powerful and adding in some plyometrics.

Nice man! I’m gonna try to follow your routines!
Cool!
I forgot to breathe until I saw the neck tattoo, Thank you
Hahaha Amen!
Take a moment to feel bad for the guy. He has to look in a mirror and crank his neck to remember.
Cool Brian! This really educates me! thank for the good video!
Perfect!
This was really useful Brian, I find that I always end up doing the same old grind in the gym
Yes! It's so easy to fall into an endless routine!
Nice Brian. Hope your not out of town the whole year cuz I buying a bike this winter and was hoping to hit you up at one of the Patreon rides. But from the sound of it you'll be in the PNW and more than likely around the Carolina's visiting Seth, Bob and Alex.
