Cycling-Related Strength & Conditioning

One thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned for weight lifting is that it can help to train you to utilise all the muscles in your legs. I know from Rowing training and dead lifts and squats that I engage most of the muscles in my legs for power work, whereas AFAIK most cyclists don't use the glutes and some other groups of muscles fully.

Slow, controlled weights work wonders for teaching each set of muscles to work together.

this has no carry over to cycling though
