One of the most important things with training is variation in order to maximize progression in your physique and kiteboarding tricks! This is not let to coincidence, if you ask a pro. But the reality of a kiteboarders (or any other amateur athletes for that matter) training is probably different. Exercises are chanced randomly based intuition and "feel". This is not optimal at all.

The best way to do it, is by planing your way out of it. Planning is everything, if you want to maximize to progression. When working with athletes I always start by plotting in competitions and other important things, so that I can plan around them. Also to make sure, they have optimal restitution (hyper compensating) up to competitions.This has to be done individually, so I won't do that here.

This is an example on how to do cycles for about 6 months with training programs from KBX. It's made for kiteboarders that likes unhooked freestyle/wakestyle

Make sure to write everything down, when you're training. Date, weights, reps and sets. In that way you should be able to see a progression. If not, you should contact me, because then you have done something wrong. And it might be over training! This is a risk that kiteboarders take, because we can't plan everything like windy days etc.
