Oliveira between the gym, bikes and engines: the MotoGP surprise training

Precise, reliable and concrete. Since joining MotoGP, Miguel Oliveira hasn’t had many opportunities to make his mark, between little experience and a bike, Ktm, still engaged in a growth process. However, when the day turned out to be favorable, the Portuguese born in 1995 almost never failed, demonstrating an exceptional mental stability and also a rather particular physical preparation.

ROPE

—

To be able to push the bike to the limit you need courage and talent, but also a beastly physique. Oliveira is part of the group of pilots who appreciate training in the gym. Through his social networks, the Portuguese announces to the fans the exercises with which he prepares for the races. To work on shoulders and arms, he relies on naval ropes with the classic “Battle Rope”. Knees slightly flexed and the ends of the ropes swung from the bottom up to form continuous waves.

TOOLS

—

In addition, the Portuguese also practices exercises with weights and rubber bands to work on the muscles of the upper body. Also through social media, Oliveira has also shown himself intent on working with the low pulley and lat machine. These tools are used to stimulate the back muscles, such as the middle trapezius, the great dorsal and the great round, as well as the biceps and deltoids. Body parts heavily stressed while driving.

BIKES AND MOTORS

—

Miguel also takes care of the cardio part and works on the lower muscles. The sport most practiced by riders to take care of this double goal is cycling. The Portuguese devotes part of his free time to cycling, both racing and mountain biking, when he is not riding a motorcycle. Also in the case of the two motorized wheels, Oliveira shows a certain flexibility, passing from the track to the dirt road, in order to adapt to any driving situation. The practice in the circuits, however, is not limited to motorcycles, as Miguel is also a huge fan of karting.

CORSA

—

Still on the subject of sports and physical activities aimed at improving endurance under stress, Oliveira is also dedicated to running. When time permits, it is applied in long sessions. Alternatively, space for the treadmill to always keep fit and toned. And the results, it seems, fully prove him right.
