Strength training for high power efforts is undeniably useful.
Much like the cliche of women not wanting to get big muscles from weight training, it’s pretty hard to gain significant muscle weight without the nutrition to support it.
On the other hand, if 2-3kg of extra muscle meant 100w more in a 30s-1m sprint, and a 15-20w more on your FTP, you’d probably take it?
I thought all you had to put the dates of the races into Trainer Road and do what it tells you? That’s what I’m banking on for next year...
That and trying not to fall over.
Joking aside have you done the strength training stuff before, a lot of people do swear by it, a proper coach has always felt like a crazy amount on money but I supposed compared to money spent on bikes and parts it might be a better bang for the buck.
