When it comes to strength training for cyclists and triathletes...Lift heavy stuff. Yeah. That's the silliest thing. Do we need heavyweights? Yeah, absolutely. But if you go from riding a bike all summer to lifting heavy stuff, you're going to be in trouble very quickly because your body can't handle it. The tissues, the structures, how you produce force and control all needs to be practiced at lighter weights. What we're going to do today is we're going to show you lighter weights with faster speeds.
Force equals mass times acceleration. So if I'd like to actually go faster on the bike, and there's a whole lot more to this than just lifting weights, so it's not applied to lunges and bicycling or running-specific exercises. This is about in whole. If you want to grow stronger, if you want to grow power, we need to train the acceleration side of things.
We're going to talk about speed deadlifts and speed squats. In a whole other video, I talk about how you should not deadlift off the floor. So do not deadlift off the floor. Even though we're talking about speed deadlifts, the range of motion you're doing doesn't matter. The movement pattern of a hinge does.
