how useful/beneficial/harmful are they for off ice training?
I'm talking about spirals and jumps especially.
Spirals, because I need strength more than anything for them (flexibility, I can do an almost split position...).
Jumps, because I've heard that once you take the weights off, your jumps are higher and better.
(I'd want to do the off ice axel and double toe/double sal for now)
anyway, benefits, harms and is it worth it?
thanks, peanutskates x
P.S. Also, which types/brands/weights are best? I'm 14 if that's useful.
