Anyone here into/ride Motocross or Enduro?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there's anyone on the forum who rides Motocross or Enduro? Obviously not professionally but as a weekend thing.

Curious to find out your experiences with arm pump and how much you increase calories on the day to compensate for the riding and if it has any effects on recovery.

Going to get back to riding on the weekends and thinking of upping calories abit on the day and treating it as a cardio session - will probably drink some BCAA's throughout the ride.

I used to suffer bad with arm pump.. honestly the only thing to help me was staminade from muscle science.. can still get it at some pick n pays.. was great. filled my hydro pack and was cramp free..

I find when I am on cycle, arm pump is much worse! I keep my calories the same, as you say it's just an extra cardio session. Well nothing compares too mx / enduro training wise, a hard 3 hour ride kills you!!

I nearly drowned one year in Umhlanga, Some skinny life guard helped me out.

I was so used to high weight, low reps, Swimming pumped me up and I couldn't swim. :blush:

Next year, just upped my rep range the month before. Swam like a good thing.

Maybe some high reps will help with the arm pump???

Just a thought.
