I think you have nailed it with your last sentence, I forever hear gym users and PT's give blasé advice when they don't know or understand that persons physiology or goals.
My comment was aimed at Colm, being 6"3 and 117kg asking for info on here probably suggests he is not a pro athlete so general advice and basic guidance can help him work out what is right for him.
I think your post #36 is way out of my league and a general forum user, or mine at least. I'm not in a position to consider anything more complicated that a gym routine and some regular bike work. I would like it to be, but feel at this early stage and having mainly a gym and rugby background I cannot use any of that information yet. I think it's good to have a base, train with the club and once I feel I have the basics mapped pretty well. I will happily spend on a coach, at present the coach would be spoon feeding me.
You appear to have a large amount of information on aspects of training for track cycling, do you coach?
