Cycling-Related Strength & Conditioning

take a look at this article. very interesting, where it says that off the bike weight training on the legs can actually worsen your on bike performance with the exception of the upper body where strength and conditioning can help with back pain and climbing.

In other words it says that HIT and explosive training is more beneficial to cycling specific strength than off the bike weight training would achieve.

Learned a lot from that article.

Huh, how about that then. Apologies to babydino and bigtwin for falling into the usual "common sense would suggest ..." trap
