SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 A new feature, "Winter Conditioning", written by Jeff Libengood from Jeff's Fitness Center in Shibuya, has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-56.html Snow is here and it’s time to hit the slopes. Whether you ski or board, the ill prepared (and unfortunate accident victims), are more susceptible to the most common injury on the slopes, the knee. For those of you interested in specifics... http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-56.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan.

oo 1 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Interesting. Sounds like hard work. And everyone just take a look at Hitomi-chan on the Fitness center website Link to post Share on other sites
yunker 0 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Yes, I wish I could be more fit. I'm looking for the run up to next season to be in shape so I can climb the skill level ladder (I'm right there at the bottom right now) Link to post Share on other sites

miteyak 0 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 A great article with absolutely loads of exceptional information. Almost too much info. I can't help thinking that those of us who understood (most) of it are already in pretty damn good shape for winter sports (or know how to get there), and those really needing some help left somewhat confused. Sometimes a simple set of pointers and a basic weekly program can be more helpful in getting people off the ground. If I were a beginner, i'd be thinking, "holy crap, better get myself down to a fitness center, this gigs a bit over me 'ead" Until a few years ago, fitness really wasn't that complicated. Most important thing is to actually be doing something, and, of course, having fun doing it! Anyway, off to do some crunches on my (non-uni-approved) swiss ball. Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I'm feeling a little inadequate right now... Link to post Share on other sites
mwahahahaha 0 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Whoah. I wonder what motivates people to want to be that big! Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Because they are either compensating for something, really vain or gay. Link to post Share on other sites

rajeem 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I really respect those guys, so much work going into that. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I agree with zwelgen about the compensating thing. I think some pitiful folk try to overcompensate for their inadequate love handles. Link to post Share on other sites

gamer 0 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Amazing, I can't quite understand why someone wants to get that big...unless for competition or something, and I'm not sure I get that either. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 what's also gross is how a lot of the muscle men and women have to get all fake-baked and greased up for the competiton. yuck! Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Everyone is just ripping on this guy. You know he probably reads this, right? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Not everyone is ripping. I thought it was a great article and am amazed by the guys motivation and dedication to the cause. Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine, contrary to some opinions stated here, Jeff has quite enough self esteem to hold his own! People ripping on you for, er, just doing what you like? well, you must have something they're jealous of then! For all the 'compensating' crap lifters have to put up with, the only real compensating I see (sorry, hear) comes from those who feel so inadequate they have to take a slice outta someone else verbally.
