Strength Lifting for Cyclists
Strength Lifting for Cyclists
Length
8 Weeks
Plan Description
This is an 8 week lifting plan perfect for cyclists to perform in the offseason, base season or if trying to work on muscle imbalances/coming back from an injury. The plan includes 8 weeks of lifting, starting with the first 2 weeks of prep lifting/circuit training designed for neuromuscular adaptation and to prevent injury once moving into heavier lifting. The next 4 weeks are all about strength lifting, 6 different routines designed to strength cycling specific muscles, as well as the muscles less activated in cycling such as hamstrings and glutes to even out the cyclists muscle groups. Finally the last 2 weeks of the plan include 4 plyometric sessions to build explosiveness not only for improving bone density but to build sprint power on the bike. This is the perfect plan to supplement with riding for an evened routine to build strength, increase power on the bike and prevent imbalances and injury.
