I'm looking to get more specific in the gym for track league and am progressing on from typical strength training 5x5 etc. I've recently moved on to 3x15 with 30s rest for squats and single leg press with a weight that gets me close to failure on the last reps - but for squat I'm not sure if it should be a weight that requires a brace/pause on each rep or light enough to speed through the set in a faster constant motion. The faster motion of the leg press feels more specific to race efforts but also not sure what really counts as rest when doing unilateral work as one leg is resting whilst other is working...
There's tons of free info out there for strength/hypertrophy/power but very little it seems for muscular endurance and even less specifically applied to cycling/track... Does anyone have any good tips, links or experience with strength training for endurance specific to cycling that they can share?
