hey, what alternative exercises could I try when I don't have the equipment for chin-ups or other kinds of pull-ups?

Surf Strength Coach - 6 years ago

you need to do some type of pulling exercises, and for that you need some type of equipment. invest in a pair of olympic rings. they're $30

Thank you!

This video helped me a lot, I used it in conjunction with this surfing workout plan, and it really helped me to get started improving my 'athletic capacity' as a surfer. Thanks Chris! https://mailchi.mp/e936a78dd1a0/surfing-workout-routine

Very well described Chris, I'm a 52 year old who's never surfed, but I'm starting your exercises today, in the hope that I can give myself a chance to surf when I go to Fuerteventura next May. I'll let you know how it goes. Stay cool.

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

enjoy that trip! training will just give you a buffer zone, so that you can practice the actual skill of surfing. too many new surfers are encumbered by a body that isn't up to speed, so it wears out far before they've actually had enough actual practice time in the water.

Nice. A gym instructor introduced me to mobility exercises and I can see the benefits in the water last week after a long summer break. So good to see you doing the same sort of training in the context of surfing. I think my main weakness now is paddling into waves and not getting up solidly - which of those exercises mentioned would you recommend I spend more time on? Thanks dude! (ps will be in Bali for a few months soon too).

Yuri Boyka - 7 years ago

His body is like mine to be honest. I surf and I've done a lot of these workouts and it actually helps.

I used to surf as a teenager but then kind of lost it due to a severe tibialis posterior injury. Picked it up again about 1,5 year ago but struggling with physique and weight loss required. Physically been like a friggin yo-yo and then BAM there goes the tibialis again. Ever since recovering, I've been watching your video's and incorporating a lot of the exercises and techniques you display in your video's. You've become an inspiration man.
I can't believe you've been doing this for almost six years on YouTube. I understand that this must be a portion of how you make ends meet at the end of the month but I just want to show my gratitude and appreciation for the free stuff that you put on here as well as on the blog. Hope to see some more news stuff in the future. Enjoy Bali!

I bought instruction from Unflexal and I learned about workouts.

Paulo Alberto - 7 years ago

hey man whats´s up Cris! do you have something specific for someone that made a acl surgery to improve the recovery?? I´ve been watching your videos and till now I couldn´t find anything about that cuz in many videos you say if you feel pain to not do the exercises!! really nice your channel!! sorry about my writing in english!! thanx

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

yeah, I don't touch on many rehab topics, because it needs to be individualized, that's just the nature of the human body. one basic, you need to bring up your hamstring strength. for specifics, reach out and we can line up some online consultation regarding your recovery. cheers.

Roberto paniagua - 7 years ago

ill try all of 'em today at the gym.
do you think weight lifting works too?

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

depends on what type of "weight Lifting" you do. strength and power based compound movements, for sure.

Liam Rodriguez - 7 years ago

thank you so much! I realized that I am unfortunately pretty limited....but now I am going to work on it.

cool man! constant application of improving the body, seeing what works for you, and finding what makes you feel like you're moving well, in life and the water.

Max Pieters - 7 years ago

Love your videos Chris, great to see a new one up. Thanks!

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

cool! glad to hear it. I'll have some more coming in a week or two

Fernando Velloso Neto - 7 years ago

Thanks for all the helpful videos. Would love some tips on stretches so I can crouch on a surfboard without lifting the heel of the back foot. It seems really weird and strenuous on the knees and hips! (I know you have videos on squats, but im talking about that weird surf crouch where you drop the back knee, but still have to keep the back foot flat)

Awesome stuff as always. Your video quality has become way better in the recent months as well. If you are ever looking for a good but relatively cheap sound recording option look up the Rode Smart Lav. They are like $75 and boost sound quality way up. Keep up the good work!

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

i'll google it now. thanks!

Andrew Bryant - 7 years ago

Very clear and well explained exercises, I'm sure these will help with my surfing! Thanks from Cornwall, UK!

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

cool. get after it. it's simply using training (smart training) to expand your available movement competency and complexity....so then you can apply that ability to skill acquisition in the water.

Luke Roman - 7 years ago

Surf Strength Coach - 7 years ago

Chris Lynch - 7 years ago
