Written by Team Summit on February 25, 2020. Posted in Archive 2020, strength training.

Bar Patterns: Romanian Deadlift Part 5 in the series Grasp the bar with a clean grip. This is determined by having your fingers just outside of your shoulders while the bar is resting on the front of your shoulders like you are setting up for a front squat (this is also called the “rack position”). Begin with the bar hanging in front of your hips and standing with your feet hip-width apart. This next piece might sound like an optional step, but it is paramount when it comes to performing the Olympic Lifts properly as we progress into explosive lifting. Hold the bar with a ”hook...

Snowboard Updates – February 18th, 2020 It has been a crazy competition season. We have more kids traveling to more places for contests, more kids doing well at contests, and unfortunately, more contests getting canceled than ever before.

Written by Team Summit on February 12, 2020. Posted in strength training.

Bar Patterns Part 4 – Overhead Squat Grasp the bar with a snatch grip. To find your snatch grip hold the bar at waist level with locked-out elbows. Slowly adjust your grip in or out, while still maintaining straight arms, until the bar hangs at the height of your crease (The crease is the point where your upper leg joins together with your torso. The line that is formed here in your hips is the crease). Be sure you have an even grip on the bar, you do not want the bar either off to the left nor the right. With this grip, press the bar overhead and balance it over your ears. It is very...

Written by Team Summit on January 31, 2020. Posted in Archive 2020.

Snowboard Updates – January 31, 2020 Hey Team, Contest season is about to get rolling. There will be some ups and downs over the next 5-6 weeks. It is difficult on a team like this because when one kid has a good day it is usually at the expense of a teammate or friend. In the low times it is easy to blame someone else. It is important to remember that everyone, coaches, officials, judges, and mountain personal, are out there to help the kids be better snowboarders and better people. When we are going contest to contest week in and week out we tend to get...
