Jumps & Drops: How Your Hand Position Affects Your Ability to Absorb Energy on the Bike

We need to get away from this simplistic view of “wider bars = more leverage = more stability” and start to take the human organism into account. Using things like the Push Up and Falling Push Up Tests are a good way to start doing that with your own bike fit, making it custom to you and how you move instead of how the bike industry says you should.

BTW, this stuff matters to me because I want to make sure that you are getting everything you can from your training and riding. If you are training your body to move one way off of the bike and then trying to force it to move another way on the bike you aren’t going to get the best from either. This stuff matters and helping riders avoid the problems that stem from bad movement on the bike is one of the main missions behind MTB Strength Training Systems.
