Olympus Pro Performance Coaching

A lot of riders want pro results with amateur habits.

They think more cardio means better recovery.
It does not.

They think random gym work will prepare them for racing.
It will not.

They think spending more money on the bike will make them faster.
It will not.

The truth is simple.
If you want to ride better, you need to ride more, recover better, train with purpose, and live in a way that supports performance.

Most riders are not stuck because they lack potential.
They are stuck because they lack structure, discipline, and clarity.

And if you are not measuring your training, you are not training intelligently.
You are guessing.

DM “MXEDGE” if you are done guessing and want a proper system behind your riding.

🔵From landings to generating preloading forces, the soleus plays a massive role in synergy with the rest of the leg muscles.

Motocross boots can provide significant support and often create an illusion of joint safety due to their tight fit.

✅Strengthening the soleus will help you improve ankle strength, explosiveness (resulting in better rebound and preloading), and greater robustness when landing heavily after a jump.

Don’t neglect it any longer. Try these two exercises:

1️⃣Single leg: 3 sets of 15 reps at 80% of your body weight.

2️⃣Both legs: 3 sets of 15 reps at 160% of your body weight.
🔴Note: The best way to train your soleus is through strength and plyometric exercises.

⚠️If you want to develop to a proper athlete this season and stop gassing out mid-moto, start breaking into the Top10 and even win races this year…

Then DM me ‘MXEDGE,’ and I’ll get back to you shortly.

Most riders are not stuck because they need more motivation.

They are stuck because they keep making the same mistakes every week.

👉🏼Here are 7 common mistakes that hold motocross and enduro riders back:

- Spending money on the bike before improving the rider
- Poor nutrition and hydration
- Trying to shortcut recovery
- Generic training with no purpose
- No solid weekly routine
-Inconsistent bike practice
- Poor sleep quality

👉🏼The truth is simple:

Your body is the engine.
If that is underprepared, underfuelled, under-recovered, and inconsistent, do not expect the bike to save you.

The riders who improve long term usually do the basics better than everyone else:

- Structured training
- Proper recovery
- Purposeful riding
- Better routines
- Consistency over time

That is what creates real progress.

📲DM “MXEDGE” if you want help building a plan that actually improves your riding.

15kg down in 12 weeks.

Adam runs a business, manages staff, has a family, rides enduro during the week and weekends, went on holiday, celebrated birthdays, got ill with flu, and still got the job done.

So no, you do not need perfect conditions.
You need structure, consistency, and the ability to adapt when life gets busy.

That is what most people are missing.

They want results, but they keep looking for shortcuts.
They want to feel better, ride better, and perform better, but they refuse to stick to a proper plan long enough to let it work.

The truth is simple.

Missing a session now and then will not ruin your progress.
A busy week will not ruin your progress.
Real life will not ruin your progress.

What ruins your progress is constantly making excuses, chopping and changing, and relying on motivation instead of discipline.

Real transformation happens when you stop looking for the easy way out and start doing the basics properly, over and over again.

That is how you lose weight.
That is how you get fitter.
That is how you improve your life and your bike performance.

DM “MXEDGE” if you want to stop guessing and start doing what actually works.

Most riders do not have a motivation problem.
They have a training specificity problem.

They work hard, sweat a lot, and still wonder why they gas out, tighten up, or fade on the bike.

That usually happens when training looks hard, but does not transfer well.

👉🏼A few truths:

- Random workouts do not equal motocross or enduro preparation
- Boxing fitness is for boxing
- CrossFit is its own sport, not motocross S&C
- Warm-ups need to happen close to ride time
- Running is useful, but not essential
- More work is not always better
- Recovery is where adaptation happens

👉🏼If your goal is motocross or enduro performance, then your training should improve qualities that actually matter on the bike:

- Strength that transfers
- Aerobic fitness that supports repeated efforts
- Trunk and grip endurance
- Movement quality
- Recovery capacity
- Consistency across the week

👉🏼Generic training gives generic results.

If you want to:

- Build fitness that actually transfers to motocross
- Stop wasting time on non-specific training
- Improve endurance without beating your body up
- Ride stronger, longer, and with more control

📲DM me MXEDGE and I’ll show you what is missing from your current setup.

Most people still get sport-specific training wrong.

They think it means copying the sport inside the gym.

It doesn’t.

Real sport-specific training is about improving qualities that actually transfer back to performance.

👉🏼That transfer can happen in 3 ways:

1. Primary transfer
A quality is directly expressed in the sport.
Example: improve speed, improve performance.

2. Secondary transfer
A general quality supports a more specific one.
Example: improving strength can help speed, force production, control, and braking capacity.

3. Tertiary transfer
The quality helps performance indirectly.
Example: stronger tissues and better robustness can reduce time lost to injury, which means more time riding, practicing, and progressing.

That is why the gym should not become a circus.

👉🏼For most riders, especially riders, the sport itself is still the most specific environment for improving timing, perception, decision-making, and sport-specific coordination.

👉🏼The gym should fill the gaps:

- Strength
- Force production
- Tissue robustness
- Mobility through usable ranges
- Physical capacity

That is how training should work.

👉🏼Do the sport to improve the sport.
Use the gym to build the body that supports it.

📲 DM MXEDGE if you want to stop wasting time on training that looks good online but transfers poorly on the bike.

Most riders are getting this wrong.

“Bike-specific” doesn’t mean unstable, random, or complicated.

It means building qualities that actually transfer:
force production, force absorption, coordination under load, and fatigue resistance.

Standing on a BOSU doing rows or single-leg deadlifts doesn’t do that well.
It reduces the load you can use, limits progression, and increases the chance of losing position under fatigue.

That’s not strength training. That’s balance practice with light resistance.

👉🏼Strength training is simple and proven:
controlled positions, progressive overload, full ranges of motion, and intent.

👉🏼👉🏼You don’t get stronger by mimicking the sport.
You get stronger by improving the physical qualities the sport depends on.

Then you apply that on the bike.

And let’s be clear:

👉🏼The only true motocross-specific work is riding.
Everything else is preparation.

So ask yourself:

Are you training for adaptation,
or just doing exercises that look “moto”?

Because looking the part doesn’t improve performance. Adaptation does.

👉🏼If your training isn’t making you stronger, more resilient, and able to hold pace deeper into the moto, it’s missing the point.

🔵If you’re looking to improve quickly and effectively, and start training with real structure and purpose,
DM 📲 “MXEDGE” and I’ll get in touch.

👉🏼P.S. If any of the above offends you, good, it’s probably meant for you.
