i see that a skier should visit gym once a week and on some periods even more often yes. i can imagine what muscules is most used in skiing and develope my exes set (and sure i did it for years) but maybe U may suggest the set? maybe U seen something like that in the net? plz help
I go twice a week. After a warm-up of benching 3*12 of 4 plates, I work on lats, tris, and abs, which are all important for skiing. I also do lunges, which work out your butt and quads, and (I think) are good for skiing.
Don't forget the beach muscles tho' (pecs, bis, etc.). That's really the only reason to go to the gym.

Some good references on this to look at:
Ski Faster, Ski Easier -- Lee Borowski One Stride Ahead -- Marty Hall How to, When to,... -- Torbjorn Karlsen Getting Stronger -- Bill Pearl (a few pages of cross country skiing programs for off-, pre- and in-season by Steve Gaskill, Peter Ashley and T Karlsen in my early edition).
The first two can often be had inexpensively at the used book sites: abebooks.com, alibris.com, and they are both excellent all-around books from the '80s.
