Hermann Maier's Workout Routine

**Sphinx** · 11-17-2005, 12:28 AM

aspenskibum, I'm curious, how do you know how many gs you're pulling?

This is a serious question, I have very limited knowlege of high g-force flying.

**ptavv** · 11-17-2005, 12:31 AM

One g is equivalent to 9.81 m/s^2 acceleration.

If you can measure the acceleration, you can easily convert it into the g-force experienced by the subject.

**Sphinx** · 11-17-2005, 12:37 AM

I remember my freshman physics, thanks.

May I ask how you measure the acceleration in your acrobatic plane? Do you have an accelerometer in your cockpit?

**ryno** · 11-17-2005, 09:14 AM

It's the juggling.

“I will have near 15,000 kms in my legs at the start of the season" doesn't hurt, either.

that workout plan forgot to mention the mounds of anabolic steroids as well.

Any word on the Hermannator's diet?

ummm, honestly i have no clue. i just deffered to those with better judgement than me. i think in some planes (military for instance) there are g meter things. i always just trusted my dad when he said, yea that was about 3-4 back in that turn, etc. i think there is also guidelines sorta like 1=normal gravity, 3=enough to feel pinned to your seat 4=enough to feel your cheeks pulling back, etc.

He destroys at least nine cwt of these PER WEEK.

Most number are people are well looking for perfect tips to reduce their body weight and to reduce fat content. They try different things to reduce their weight such as dieting. This could effect their health also. So I suggest not to take such kind of risks for becoming slim and making body attractive. We could suggest you with better techniques to make your body more attractive. for more details.

Do you really think that he lost no muscle cells when the lower leg was so starved of oxygenated blood that the doctors were seriously considering amputation?

The article needs to get posted in the Crossfit forums, it would cause quite the ruckus.

I'm sure you can get a g meter for a plane. They have them in cars, the new GTR has one that measures G's side to side and front to back. Amazing! What plane do you fly. I've done some joyrides in a Christen Eagle. Was sooooo fun! My family has a little 172, but we're not rolling that sucker

Genetics has a lot to do with it.

Homeboy's people were bred for heavy lifting... Just 'cause you do what Hermann does, or Bode does, don't think you're gonna be either one of them.

A lot of mortals need to build muscle mass along with aerobic capacity.

Might have to do that to see the reaction

. You can't argue with the results that is for sure, but I still find it hard to believe he did zero reistance training and just rode a bike after such a huge accident.

60 hours a week of stationary bike training does sound like misery though.

Am I crazy or is this the smartest spambot ever?

**Imz** · 05-22-2009, 04:02 PM

^^^ ahhhh!!! Spambot!

very impressive- would it create it's account, or is it a room of asians just searching for places to enter forums?

**telelebowski** · 05-22-2009, 04:54 PM

All aerobatic aircraft have G-meters, including pegs that will show the max positive and negative g's pulled since the last reset. Interestingly, the g's you see pulled by a prop aerobatic plane in an airshow or aerobatics competition is typically higher than what is pulled in the military in high performance jets, with the caveat that this is being pulled for very brief instances in time. It is not uncommon at all to pull 9 Gs, no pressure suit. The pressure suit is more for a phenomenon known as G Lock, pulling a relatively high number of Gs (6-7) for an extended period of time, which is of greater tactical advantage in a military jet during an engagement b/c it is all about energy management. Also of interest is that the US Navy's Blue Angels do not wear pressure suits, alone among military aerial demonstration teams. This is due to the positioning of their hand on the yoke: they fly to such precise parameters that they do not want the tiny inflation and deflation of the suit to alter any pressure on the stick. I have attempted to embed some video of USAF g demos during pilot training in a centrifuge. Note the g meter is displayed in the upper left hand corner, and that they are not wearing pressure suits.

^^ pretty sure this counts as cunting up a thread...

**Core Shot** · 05-23-2009, 09:33 AM

what did he break? from "calf swelling to size of his thigh" it sounds like tibia or fibula?

This is inspiring for my broken tibia, but also depressing since there is no way I will ever spend 10 hours a day on a stationary bike.

**Brizatow** · 05-23-2009, 10:39 AM

I'm 15 and to improve my skiing and progress in other sports I've been told to 'bulk up'. I have decent fitness - usually beat (young) guides up skin tracks/bootpacks and am generally the fittest person that I play other sports with so I don't really need to improve much on the endurance side of things but do you think doing weights at this kind of age to improve strength/power can lead to any potential health problems eg. stunted growth etc.??

**SteveUrkel** · 05-23-2009, 11:28 AM

Max Strength is the base.

How strong do you need to be? The general rule is a max squat of 1.5x body weight, Complete ROM. More is better,once you are squatting 2x bw, you will have plenty of max leg strength for most sports, like skiing.

The health concerns for someone weight training at 15 y/o is not much different than someone older. The only special area of concern would be the growth plate. To simplify it, your growth plates are a weak area on your bone that can be damaged. Once your bones are fully grown, the risk is gone.

This risk applies to all sports/activities that some one 15 participates in.

When you compare the risk of working out against, football, baseball, basketball, or even skiing. It seems silly to be concerned about injuries in the weight room.

If you want to lift, then lift. You aren't too young.
