I think the standard is deadlifts and squats until your legs and glutes explode. (In size hopefully)

For most cyclists, adding muscle mass and strength to the lower body must be more useful in all cases, unless you add so much muscle mass that your power to weight suffers for longer hills/mountains.

Yeah thanks i should probably ask for advice on this in the training section. I know the movements its the impact of the muscle soreness on the rest of my training that i struggle will so more of a frequency/periodisation question i suppose

Depends on what you are training for?
AFAIK, track sprinters do several double days, with gym in the morning, track in the afternoon.

They may focus more on bulking during offseason though?
