Excellent. Keep the faith. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" Lao Tzu

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Love that saying! We had that written in our gym for years 👌👌👌

[@KurtTank392]

Lakey, first and always a great American Vlogger.. That being said. I can't place a bet on Lakey to win in Las Vegas, The odds makers don't have any odds on WSL. Maybe in Britain, Not Las Vegas.

[@marsmif]

Love your vlogs Lakey. Love the way you and Tom interact, and seeing how hard you work. Your results so far this year in no way reflect your talent, and I’m sure if you can just surf in the contests like you do when you’re free-surfing there’s much better results to come. I guess the pressure of being in a heat must be huge and hard to ignore. Best of luck x

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks so much! And yes, its been a tough year for competing so far. Haven't really hit my stride... only good things to come though :)

[@jeffreyvanpelt605]

[@lilian6494]

New here! So glad to have discovered your channel!! It's so eye opening seeing your workout routine and definitely would like more of those in the future, as well as you warm up stretch routine. Also, i was wondering if you would consider adding onscreen text for your exercise names and reps? Thanks for sharing!

[@timwannell6477]

Awesome content as ever. Best of luck and enjoyment with the tour!

Man, I love those classic long point breaks! Paddling has got to be exhausting after such long rides! Best of luck to you at Bells!!

[@Lakey_Peterson]

They are pretty special! Thanks Tom!

[@nickhaines2375]

Absolutely love your videos Lakey! And being married to an Aussie, surely that means we can adopt you as one of our own now!

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thank you! Will do!

[@hannahhamstergirl7624]

Good luck! Your videos are always the best part of my week. I was wondering what some of your favorite foods are and your favorite tea because each year we rotate through my siblings and have a themed tea party and they have veered from tea party but we still have tea, so anyways if you could tell me what tea you like and what foods you like I would appreciate it haha, I'm gonna wear my new blenders sunglasses and my wsl jersey. Great video as always, I hope soon you spike and get a ton more subscribers

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Ahhh I like that idea Hannah! Will try and include some nutrition in the upcoming weeks. I also love my tea so will try and include some of that. Hope you're well

❤ i like your training in the last segment. i also was thinking last night while at the gym that i need to review your back specific training and focus on some of the flexibility things you were doing. i was trying pop ups and little head high barrel stances in the gym last night, and wonder because of mobility restriction just how much i will be able to do to look cool and stylish enough while functionally maneuvering, while at an obvious minimized version of what i was and what most other surfers are, and without seeming like a total stiff strange potty squat gumby type situation :)as silly as it may look or seem, especially the barrel stance (which i need to practice because once i start getting tubed, that stance needs to be SOLID, or general more squatty stance but with very stylish hands and arms, i think it might actually help and reestablish important muscle memory and response and help me articulate that. anyway, roger roger, copy that, good buddy, 10/4, number 7, over and out (on this comment section, anyway :)

[@mikeuptegrove]

You ever look at any of Knees Over Toes Guy’s stuff? He is the best in the business when it comes to squat technique and training. His tutorials increased my athleticism big time. I saw you had the balls of your feet propped up, that’s why I asked. Are you trying to gain ankle mobility? You should look at his work, but what I can say is, it’s all about completely full flexion for every squat, elevating the heals, getting knees over toes, and working at full end range in every rep so you’re perpetually pumping synovial fluid into the knees to create more resilient, stronger, attachments. Idk, I think for any serious athlete his work is worth a look. Good luck in Oz.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks mike! Have seen a lot of his stuff and for sure think it’s pretty cool 👌🙌

[@robbphillips2845]

Welcome to Australia Lakey.Your almost a local now right .I have a good vibe about you and Bells, you almost won it but hurt your back on the jet ski and couldn't compete.It really suits your aggressive carves and top to bottom surfing.Hope you have a great time in OZ and win heaps. Hope the swell shows up for you.Cheers

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Ahhh that was a tough year… I couldn’t stand for 2 days after that heat 😢 looking forward to next weeks action 👍

[@MrPetasurf]

❤ you is big surfer

Hi guys. Great vid as always. Infrared sauna Lakey ? Also when are you having the surf off with my mate , the other "tom allen". 🤣. He's keen for it. But your Tom would smoke him just quietly. 😄.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Yep, infrared sauna! We love them. Haha he’s got a good name 🤣

[@rocknjock9300]

What to you & Tom working out address developing explosive quickness? For when you need to be powerful & quick. For turns, cutbacks & airs.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

We do most of our plyometrics in the off season and in the little breaks we do have. I’ve really loved using the vertical jump resistance belt for that… doesn’t load your back too much but improves power and pop in your legs a lot.

[@user-sy8hy7iw8v]

今日は、作田でサーフしました。

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Hope you scored 🙌

[@jonahhex9620]

Why short range of motion on your hamstring pulls?

[@Lakey_Peterson]

I've always trained full range hamstring strength however did some strength testing and found that my high fibers are substantially weaker.... therefore I've been doing work above 90 degrees with them... I personally hate it though as I'm terrible once it goes past 90 haha

[@jonahhex9620]

@@Lakey_Peterson I can see your serious and methodical about your training so I figured there would be a reason. Keep training hard but don’t be too hard on yourself, best wishes for April

[@Christian-yh7bs]

Better be careful, with that roller door open. Might get a brown snake in the home gym. 😂

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Haha we've had every animal in there but a snake so will def keep that in mind haha

[@thespartan8476]

Is the Weather in Australia warmer and hotter than the USA, or is that just a myth? Americans say the Australian summer is hotter than in most places of the US. After watching this, I just felt the need to ask? lol

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Haha good question. The more north you go in Aus the warmer it gets. I would say Queensland is like a Floridian summer where Victoria summers are a little more like those in Oregon.

WHY are your wetsuit logo free ,majority of WSL events you are in full steamer. NO logo is a trend , but your wetsuit sponsor deserves exposure. TRY leg squats in surfing stance , squat to floor and drive up. You are an inspiration to all surfers.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Haha I def like the fact the Sisstr suits aren’t too large and in your face with their logos. Thanks for the tips! 😊🙌

This is awesome. I keep coming back to accounting, since I am doing my taxes. How this all must get organized kills me. And, I have decided I think you and Tom should hang out with Mark Healey when you get a chance. He seems cool. And I love how the ocean looks in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZaWlqmFbMubn80
