How to train like a pro surfer!

I start my sessions with some flexibility, mobility & core activation drills.

Today I did:

Single leg power glute bridge w/ chest press:

3 x 5r w/ 20kg each dumbbell

Hip thrust:

8 x 100kg

3x 6r 140kg

Trap bar squat

3 x 5r 90kg

Squat jump

4 x 5r 10kg each dumbbell

Core strength

3 x 8 rotations each side w/10kg slam ball

And I finished w/ barbell row

5 x 10r 50kg

So, you wanna get better at surfing? Go surf…hit the gym. (And then go surfing.)
