Ski Erg Interval Training
Ski erg interval training builds upper-body conditioning with timed hard pulls and controlled rest—dose conservatively because lactate spikes quickly.
Ski erg interval training alternates hard pulls with full or partial rest—common formats include thirty seconds on, thirty off, or three-minute repeats near threshold watts. Upper-body lactate rises fast; start with fewer reps than you would on a rower.
Grip and shoulders need easy days between hard blocks.
Common questions
-
How many ski erg intervals should beginners do?
Start with six to eight short reps and full rest; add volume only when watts stay within five percent across the set.
