One Exercise to Rule Them All
Bent over rows are useful. The movement mimics pulling up on the bike if you're trying to get over a log or pull up for a jump. Thus, performing bent over rows will condition the muscles of your back for performing bike handling skills such as popping over a log or pulling up for a jump. Additionally, while performing a set of bent over rows, if performed with good form, you're recruiting all the tiny muscles between you vertebrae and muscles that parallel your vertebral column to stabalize yourself. This which also mimics being on the bike and thus, conditions your muscles for bike riding /handling... allowing u to ride longer and less likely for injury. Anyway. Ride bikes!

Awesome video. Add in power cleans before dead lifts if you solely ride downhill and you're muscles will be ready to absorb any bumps and drops if your rockin a hardtail or only have a few inches of travel.

Power cleans and light squats. There comes a point where weight lifting impeads over aerobic ability and since we're riding bikes we pedal (damn it!). Just pedal!

I was surprised no one mentioned power cleans with light weight. Its probably oneofthe best exercises downhill riders can do. At least from what ive devrived in my education and experience riding downhill on a hardtail.
