Hi, some advice needed please.
I am listening to Kolie Moore's podcast in which he has an episode on strength training (https://open.spotify.com/episode/7n8PMhRkDmzcUzwMiEHIR7)
In this he talks about moving to a strength phase before going in maintenance as aerobic training really picks up/racing starts. All good. However his view is for cycling specifically is that this should shift focus to single leg.
However when talking about weights, there's a whole section on each leg being X% of a two leg exercise. As in 75% each leg, and some athletes who are at 55-60% have a lot of room to grow.
What movements are they measuring this by? And what would hive mind recommend for 'heavy' single leg, as I am no doubt in the latter camp of having lots of ceiling to grow.
EDIT they reference Bulgarian trap squats and single leg squats. Surely this is on the leg press?
Thanks.
For reference I used to lift a decent amount for other sports and have just finished a modified 12 week block of Stronglifts to get back squat 105% BW 5x5 and deadlift 120% BW for 1x5.
